Shenshuping base in Wolong National Nature Reserve, southwest China's Sichuan Province, is known for its adorable giant pandas. The animal is considered a national treasure in China and lives mainly in temperate forests in southwest of the country. Pandas play a crucial role in forests. When they are under protection, other animals including pheasants, golden monkey and crested ibis who live in the same area also get protected. At the same time, pandas attract many visitors each year, which brings economic benefits to local communities. 

Here are some photos of pandas taken at Shenshuping base.
