Foping National Nature Reserve

The reserve spans 350 square kilometers within the Qinling Mountains, featuring elevations from 1,080 to 2,094 meters and dense bamboo forests.

Established in 1978, the reserve became a crucial sanctuary for giant pandas, with 64 individuals documented between 1974 and 1993.

The reserve demonstrates China's commitment to wildlife preservation through scientific research programs and habitat protection initiatives.

Road access ends at the reserve boundaries to minimize human interference, while researchers monitor wildlife populations through designated observation points.

The area maintains the highest density of wild giant pandas in China, sharing the habitat with golden monkeys, mainland serows, and North-Chinese leopards.
