Chengdu, China - Blogabond

It's all about the Pandas ;-)

We finished our cruise at Chongching, and then made our way by train to Chengdu……………to see the PANDAS!!!!!! I was more than a bit excited, Danny less so, but it just had to be done. I was a bit worried about being disappointed by the whole experience, and worried about how the Pandas may have...

Aaaahhhh

Baby pandas. Bless. Had another overnight train ride from Xi'an to Chengdu (similar activities to the last one) then went to visit the Panda Breeding Centre nearby the following morning. I thought they would just sit there in their enclosures munching on bamboo but they were quite active - two...
