Visitors to the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding will have to book tickets online, for the ticket office or ticket-selling machines at the base will be closed during the holiday starting on Oct. 1, according to the newspaper.
During the period, 60,000 tickets will be available online for a single day, with 36,000 for the morning and 24,000 for the afternoon, the newspaper read.

Giant pandas are scattered across Sichuan and northwest China's Shaanxi and Gansu Provinces.
