Overview
About 7 minutes by car from Adventure World, Panda Village is a distinctive resort-style property where you stay in dome houses painted with panda faces. No two domes share the same design, which makes them a great favorite with children. Each dome stands on its own, every room has a bath, toilet and shower, and there is a park for staying guests only, with a slide and animal-motif play equipment.
Panda Village, about 7 minutes by car from Adventure World, is a distinctive resort-style property where you stay in round dome houses painted with panda faces. There are three room types: a 5-person Western-style room with two double beds and a long sofa, a 6-person Western-style room with three bedrooms and a long sofa, and a 6-person Japanese-style room with futon bedding laid out on the floor. No two domes share the same design, so there is something new to look forward to on a return visit. Each dome stands on its own, so you can settle in without minding the room next door - a baby crying at night or children's voices are not a worry here.
