The panda hideout[2] (also called "Panda Village"[1]) is a hidden village populated entirely by giant pandas, serving as a panda sanctuary after the destruction of the panda village. It is a community built on the grounds of a geothermal spring surrounded by a towering barrier of mountains amidst a glacier.[3] The village itself is made up of paddy fields, farmhouses, and various green plants and water features. Its precise name and location are currently unknown, though it has been shown to be far away from the Valley of Peace.

History

In Kung Fu Panda 2

Po'sFather

Po's father Li in the village

This hideout is briefly seen at the end of the film, where many other giant pandas currently live. Exactly how or when they came to settle at this location is currently unknown, although it can be assumed that it was founded after Shen's army attacked the pandas' original village. Among the giant pandas was Po's biological father, who somehow became aware of Po's existence at the end of the film and proclaimed, "My son is alive." He then looked out to gaze on his village with hope, catching the attention of the other pandas below.

According to a summary of the third film, Po and his biological father travel to a "secret panda paradise", likely meaning the panda hideout, where Po will meet the other pandas of the village.[4]

Trivia

Panda-hideout-rock

The name of the mountain engraved into a rock

  • The hideout and its residents was largely influenced by the filmmakers' 10-day trip to Sichuan, China, where they visited the Chengdu Panda Breeding Research Center, as well as Mount Qingcheng, a renowned Taoist mountain full of mist and rustic architecture.[5] In paying tribute, the filmmakers added in the mountain's name to a rock in one of the final shots in Kung Fu Panda 2.[6]
  • The hideout's landscape drew inspiration from the idea of a Shangri-La, where the residents are hidden away from the world.[5]
  • There are almost 30 variants of pandas amongst the village's residents, between both children and adults.[5]
