Panda sanctuary





China's national panda sanctuary and breeding center is outside of Chengdu and it took us almost an hour to get there, mostly because of the heavy traffic through the city. At top, you can see me with a panda in the background doing what they seem to do best, sleep. Given the heat and humidity that we dealt with that day, I don't blame him for trying to sleep through it. Next, is the entrance to the sanctuary. Interestingly, the movie, Kung Fu Panda, was playing on a huge video screen with Chinese subtitles. Never having seen it, I did not know that Chengdu featured in the movie. The next photo is of walking through a bamboo forest to one of the Panda locations. Bamboo is one of the Panda's main foods. A photo of me and a panda sculpture. At bottom is a building that says it is the panda research center.
