In the southwest of Sichuan China, a deep underground tunnel provides an unprecedented opportunity to build one of the deepest science and engineering labs in the world. Since the first visit by physicists in 2009, a 6x6x40m experimental hall (JinPing lab) has been built, ready to start the first batch of experiments. In this talk, I will describe an effort to build a dual-phase xenon dark matter detector (PandaX) in China and to place it at the Jinping lab for dark matter search.
