If the Beijing Winter Olympics left an indelible memory, then the Bingdundun , which has been out of stock, is definitely one of them.
A heart-wrenching question is: Winter Olympics is over, have you achieved the small goal of "one household, one pun" ?
△ See the magical picture of the top ice flowing in the circle - Dundu shook snow.
As a new top star, behind the Bingdundun fire is the fact that the bear continues to exude charm. From panda panda panpan panpan fuwa jingjing , to 2018 , Shanghai CIIE 2 4-leaf clover Jinbao , looking at the major international events held in my country , panda is definitely the animal with the highest appearance rate among mascots , no one.
Pandas who live overseas in the form of rent, as well as cultural output such as panda movies, have long made pandas a part of China's pride.
△Anime/Movie Stills about Panda
Compared to Cherry Maruko , who can only wait and see panda for two minutes, we are not fast enough, although Bingdundun Freedom is still on the road, Panda Freedom is actually not far away.
The first batch of national parks in released last year, Giant Panda National Park is listed. This park spans three provinces: Sichuan, Shaanxi and Gansu, and involves super parks including 4 cities and prefectures, 2html, and 4 counties and cities. It covers an area of 27,000 square kilometers, which is larger than Israel's land area, and is about 3 Yellowstone Parks in the United States.
△Giant Panda National Park.
. Not only giant pandas live in this vast land, but also its magical roommates - more than 8,000 species of wild animals and plants, such as Sichuan golden monkey , Red-crowned crane , etc.
Although the national park has not been opened to the public, the door cannot be closed to the old artists' yearning. After all, who can refuse the secret temptation of eating in front and singing in the idiot behind?
01
Where is the magical panda?
Why do you need to return .3% of the land area to Pandas? Because they are worth it.
The giant panda, known as the "living fossil", is a prehistoric species that is even harder than dinosaurs. Eight million years ago, there were traces of giant pandas on the earth, and they are definitely the most senior indigenous people of the blue planet.
The original dumpling was not as cute as it is now, but the "Iron Eating Beast" , which has a strong combat power that can kill tigers and leopards. " Mountains and Seas " once described as "Iron-eating beasts" "like bears, black and white beasts, and copper and iron." Because of its excessively eye-catching force, the Iron Eater Beast was once the mount of God of War Chiyou .

1869, a French missionary named Armand David discovered this black and white color-like and brown bear-like species in Ya'an , Sichuan. The biology community called it " Cat Bear" , because the name "panda" was passed down to this day after the misreading of the order of Chinese characters during the Republic of China.
In the middle and late period of the Ice Age, the probability of meeting pandas during a walk was not low. They were active in Yangtze River stream. The domain is the southmost reaching the southeast coast, and the northmost can even reach the "Shaanxi, Shaanxi and Beijing Zhoukou area".
Due to the deterioration of the ecological environment and the fragility of the pandas in "one child" in reproduction, the habitat of pandas has shrunk significantly today, and is limited to the alpine and deep valley belt between Sichuan Basin and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and the altitude of 2,000-4,000 meters.
△Wild giant pandas living environment
During the long evolution process, giant pandas gradually got rid of the aura of beasts in ancient mythology. Because of the blessing of small short tails, fluffy body hair, 60 kilograms of jumping tonnage, and natural dark circles, they were awarded the title of 's first generation cute god .
However, using round balls to prove that "eating vegetarians cannot lose weight" is actually not scientific.Although giant pandas do not refuse all kinds of arrow bamboo , it is actually not a strict vegetarian, but omnivorous animals that can be collected by big meat, insects and even feed.
△Deyang area of Giant Panda Park
In addition, they need to eat food that accounts for 40% of their body weight in a day, which destined that their eating needs to take more than ten hours to . After eating and drinking, these time management masters who are well versed in pleasure will spend the remaining half of their time sleeping.
Most of the time, senior social fears who live alone, single mothers who leave after pregnancy, don’t like to communicate, like to climb trees... It can be said that every characteristic of giant pandas is precisely placed on the exciting point of modern people.
Just as the world of giant pandas is more exciting than imagined, The species of giant pandas is also richer than imagined.
△There are 13 local species of giant pandas in the Giant Panda National Park.
In the national parks across Sichuan, Shaanxi and Gansu provinces, natural geographical barriers isolated giant pandas into 3 local populations. Among them, the giant pandas in , Qinling , have been separated for ten thousand years, and have gradually evolved into a body and appearance different from the Sichuan subspecies.
Compared with , Sichuan, Gan, , , the Longshu subspecies with a slightly domineering head and a bear-like appearance, , Qinling subspecies , although , has a larger size, a smaller skull, a rounder head, and a plump cheek, which is closer to , red panda , of the family Ivory family. Their existence really makes "Panda can only take black and white photos" a joke, because brown variants such as Qizai appear in the Qinling subspecies.

And one of the meanings of the existence of Giant Panda National Park is that builds an ecological corridor for these isolated populations , creating opportunities for them to meet across mountains and rivers. After all, the growth expected by nature is far more than the number of giant pandas.
02
1 nature reserves are a national park
However, Giant Panda National Park is not a simple combination of giant pandas and their living environment .
Although there are more than 1,600 wild giant pandas living in this luxurious dormitory named after the "giant panda" and accounting for more than 1,600 wild giant pandas, more than 187.5% of the national html, there are also more than 8,000 other wild animals and plants living in the sufficient space of the upper, lower, left and right adjacent bunks. Among them, national key protected wild animals 16 species , and key protected wild plants 35 species .
△Giant Panda National Park not only has giant pandas.
The status of giant pandas in the park is neither the dormitory director nor the administrator, but "umbrella protector" . Umbrella protection species can be understood as the most picky resident of . As long as the living environment provided meets all the needs of giant pandas, such ecological conditions can also take into account the survival needs of other species.
You should know that it can meet the survival needs of more than 8,000 species at the same time. This "a span of more than 700 kilometers north and south, with an altitude drop of more than 5,000 meters" , connecting Qinling Mountains in the south and Sichuan Basin in the north. dormitory shaped like a giant pyramid, and the luxury of the supporting facilities is definitely attracting world attention.
△Planning scope of the pilot area of Giant Panda National Park. /Chengdu Municipal Development and Committee
Qinling, Minshan , Qionglai Mountain, Daxiangling , Xiaoxiangling and Liangshan 6 mountain systems are spread out in a scattered manner. The five major water systems of the Yangtze River Basin in the Jialing River , Minjiang , Tuojiang , Hanjiang and Yellow River Bohe River water systems in the Yangtze River Basin are here.
Mountains rise and fall one after another, dense forests cover the sky and the sun, lakes scattered, the canyons surging water, the wanton natural wonders and the silence that are rarely visited form the last secret realm of Sichuan, Shaanxi and Gansu provinces.
As the north gate of Giant Panda National Park, , Shaanxi Qinling area has always been known as the "treasure of species". This place is not only divided into north and south, but also the dividing line between the temperate and subtropical zones.The sea of stone left by the glaciers and the lakes of ice dou add a mysterious color to the Qinling Mountains. The Taibai Mountain , which "can cross the top of Emei", has become a natural dangerous place here.
△Qinling is a natural barrier.
"The horse's head looks at the flowers, the horse's tail sweeps the snow" Qinling has both an alpine meadow suitable for living in thorn cow , and a warm wetland that attracts migratory birds red-crowned crane to live in. They are called "Qinling Four Treasures" , which live in broad-leaved forest areas, and synthesize the most proud species business card of Qinling Nature Reserve .
can be teammates with the round head and short nose , a giant panda Qinling subspecies , which is called "national treasure beauty". In addition to the five stars in the rare index, it naturally cannot be bad in appearance. The hair is bright and soft, golden silk monkey , with sky blue eyeshadow; the red face and long beak red crane , with pink wings; even the thorn , which jumps easily in the mountains with four or five hundred kilograms, are cute beasts with horse faces and deer antlers but can make sheep screams.

, which brings together 1 nature reserves, Giant Panda National Park, its wildness and mysterious are obviously not unique to the Qinling area.
In the Baishuijiang area of Gansu, which has a humid climate, , the forests that account for nearly 40% of the land area and as many as 3,000 rivers have blended mountains and rivers far away in the west but comparable to the southeast. The grass under the forest is strolling red-bellied pheasant , and the deep pool in the forest is lying spotted giant salamander . Occasionally, Asian golden cat will jump out of the forest, which looks like a tiger and is as fast as a leopard.
. In , Sichuan , which contracted nearly 90% of the park area, giant pandas opened wider protective umbrellas in the two major areas of Minshan Mountain and Qionglai Mountain-Daxiangling, giving more magical animals and plants a hiding place.
△Protecting animals and plants is one of the purposes of the park's establishment.
More than twenty main peaks with an altitude of up to 4,000 meters have been connected to the thousand-mile mountain Minshan , which does not melt all year round. Not only does it have the largest population of wild giant pandas, it is also a territory where animals such as rock sheep , black bear , horned horn , Tibetan horse chicken frequently appear.
Qionglai Mountains transitioning to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau along the Sichuan Basin to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, glaciers gathered into the top of Pomiaofeng with a sharp tip as a needle. The scenery along the way is decorated with Chinese unique wild orchid Balang Mountain Cypriot and endangered species jellyfish snow rabbit , occasionally you will see passing by jackal, wolf, snow leopard and golden leopard . This is the only area in the current distribution area of giant pandas where the above four large predators can be observed.
△Jellyfish Snow Rabbit.
It can be seen from this that the Giant Panda National Park not only has a panda's freedom of life, but also a deadly attractive secret realm for wild animals.

The first stop in the Giant Panda National Park, how to choose?
As a national park, the ecological significance of protection is actually far greater than opening business. Therefore, after completion, the Giant Panda National Park will only choose some areas to open to the public.
can be even the open part, for ordinary people who do not have clone skills, it is a major project that takes time to pass the level.
must select the first stop in super parks spanning 30 counties and cities, which is enough to make selective disorders bald.
△The first stop of Giant Panda National Park, how to choose?
Perhaps most people first think of Wolong . As the first national nature reserve that has been bound to giant pandas for many years, Wolong's habitat is indeed a smaller version of Giant Panda National Park.
But the more unique way to play should be to follow the Daxiangling area to the direction away from Chengdu and arrive at the Ya'an , which is half the basin and half the plateau.
Ya'an is not only the "city with the largest pilot area, the largest pilot counties and the highest proportion" among the Giant Panda National Park, but also the place where David discovered the first giant panda .
△Sichuan Ya'an giant panda.
If you want to choose a target for Ya'an in Shaanxi and Gansu, the name of "Giant Pandas Land" will probably fall on the heads of Hanzhong and Longnan .
Foping Panda Valley in Hanzhong , Shaanxi. Because of the location advantage of the "Giant Panda Qinling Corridor Belt", the researchers not only witnessed the first brown giant panda here, but also the place where wild giant pandas are encountered the most frequently; and Longnan , which is known as the least like Gansu, the remnants of the Qinling Mountains and the water vapor of the Jialing River gather here, giving the southwest corner where Gansu and Sichuan are connected to the vitality of Jiangnan. Giant pandas living here are not only often photographed traveling with their families, but also occasionally welcome them to the villages at the foot of the mountain.
△Foping Panda Valley, Hanzhong, Shaanxi.
However, when the "panda concentration" of remains the same as , we can only hope that food can help us make a choice.
Barbecue is so fragrant that even Chengdu people have to drive to check in Ya'an. It is definitely a hidden plot in Sichuan, the food capital. The mountains and rivers of heaven make the ingredients that run on the ground and swim in the water come with fresh and sweetness. Coupled with the rich Sichuan cuisine, it’s a mess? It's almost impossible. Whether it is the pepper and chicken soaked in red oil, or the three-fresh noodles wrapped in clear soup, they are not unique to Ya'an, but they have a stunning Ya'an flavor that is different from other places.
△Chengdu Chuanchuan, a beautiful existence.
, and the flavor similarity between Hanzhong, Shaanxi and Longnan, Gansu, which share a Sichuan flavor with Ya'an is closer to that of brothers.
Ancient Qiang people brought the custom of making tea in pots. After years of increasing the amount, the hamacca, flour and walnuts were boiled until the water blended can tea has now become the solid happiness that both Hanzhong and Longnan people cannot quit.
If two people from both places visit each other, in addition to finding the same tea pot cider in their home style, they will also see the familiar slurry water tank . This slurry water is fermented by blanching vegetables and mixing them with flour. It has a sour aroma and is a natural flavor enhancement that is indispensable in Hanzhong and Longnan. Pour a spoonful of noodles on it and it becomes slurry water surface , which can be dried in three bowls without vegetables; is used instead of brine tofu , and it becomes the best partner for dough.
△Slurry water surface.
Just like Hanzhong cannot do without dough, Longnan cannot do without stir-frying , , but what they both cannot do without is oil-splashed chili . In addition to the naturally connected to built by giant pandas, Shaanxi, Gansu and Sichuan have many similarities and different charms.
It’s no wonder that giant pandas who eat for more than ten hours a day will linger in Shaanxi, Gansu, Sichuan. In the food highlands formed by the collision of carbohydrates and spicy food, even the old artists only feel that the foodie’s DNA is fiercely moved.
