Chengdu Panda Capital of China


We flew to Chengdu from Beijing and headed off the next day (yesterday) to see the pandas at the research sanctuary here. It is a fantastic place - very big and great enclosures and they have the most successful captive breeding program in the world.

(btw no idea why the above seems to want to be a hyperlink?? All instructions are in Chinese characters at the moment so no clue how to fix? Um yes this is one of the many reasons i'm ashamed to say i'm in IT lol)

See if you can spot the adolescent pandas gobbling bamboo here!




This pic looks fake i reckon but the pandas truly are that adorable!!!












Aaaaand once again he is eating :) It is pretty much all they do all day - not a bad life i reckon - so long as bamboo does it for you!
