The Dujiangyan Panda Base and Center for Disease Control, operated by the Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Pandas (CCRCGP), occupies a semi-natural hillside location near Shiqiao Village, Qingchengshan in Dujiangyan county, near the Taoist holy mountain of Qīngchéngshān and 18 km from central Dujiangyan city.
A more visitor-friendly name is 'Dujiangyan Giant Panda Base'; it also seems to be known as 'Dujiangyan Panda Ark'.
The 51 ha centre (or is that just the visitor-accessible part?) has a specific focus on panda disease control, prevention and research. As such, the 'nursing home' works with sick or injured wild pandas and elderly or disabled captive pandas.
It also acts as quarantine for pandas leaving or entering China; if you've seen giant pandas anywhere else in the world, they either visited or will visit Dujiangyan Panda Base at some point, as the foreign-born cubs of Chinese-loaned pandas (i.e. all of them!) contractually must be returned to China and the breeding programme.
This doesn't mean that all the residents are ill or otherwise disabled – I wasn't aware of seeing any in such a condition. Many are entirely healthy, as the CCRCGP's disease-prevention initiative involves separating captive populations, containing any outbreaks to individual bases, and veterinary research also needs to study healthy individuals.
The world-famous Chengdu Panda Base (Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding, CRBGPB) also has a Field Research Center in Dujiangyan county, seemingly known as Dujiangyan Panda Valley, where pandas are gradually reintroduced to the wild. To avoid misunderstanding: this isn't it.
Joint Base Commander Col. Fern O. Sumpter hosted community guests from Arlington County and Washington D.C. at a holiday reception at the Fort Myer Officers Club Wednesday night to celebrate the season. Guests representing the municipal governments, area businesses, and civic and service organizations were greeted, as they entered the club, by a festive array of holiday lights, Christmas trees and glittering ornaments.
Department of Defense leaders and partners were also in attendance, including the Commander of the U.S. Army Installation Management Command, Lt. Gen. Michael Ferriter and his wife, Margie, and Civilian Aide to the Secretary of the Army, Virginia North, Retired Army Lt. Gen. Joseph E. DeFrancisco and his wife, Lynne. Even Santa Clause made an appearance.
Col. Sumpter toasted her guests thanking them for their attendance and asking them to remember our service men and women, as well as their children, over the holidays. “Keep them in your hearts and prayers,” she said. “Where you can, if you can make a difference, make sure a child experiences the magic of the season.”
One guest, Janell Hancock, with Dominion Virginia Power, made the trip from Richmond, Va., for the event. “I just had to be here,” she said. “I always come for business during the day. I had to see the installation and the club at night – all decorated for the holidays.” She concluded by saying she was overwhelmed “by the overall splendor.”

My contribution for my college’s publication for illustrations. This year’s theme is opposites.
Didn't have enough time to compose with a deeper concept. So I went with my failsafe idea inspired by colors and fashion style.
Base is about 6 inches high with a 10.5" opening. The inside of the base is like a dome, with the bottom interal diameter being an inch or two wider than the 10.5" hole
