China plans panda park that will dwarf Yellowstone 0 SHARES Share it! At least 10 billion yuan ($1.6 billion) has been secured over the next five years for construction of the Giant Panda National Park in mountainous southwestern China for the nation’s favorite creature, the China Daily reported. Yellowstone, established in 1872 as the first US national park, spans 8,983 square kilometers. The Chinese park plans are aimed at enabling wild pandas that are currently isolated in several different areas of Sichuan, Shaanxi and Gansu provinces to mingle and hopefully breed.
