Dujiangyan Panda Base

This was a life-time so-far highlight for Erica.  There is a place outside of Chengdu where you can pay a (sizable) donation to panda conservation and in exchange you are able to meet a panda and have your picture taken.  This was a special experience for Erica's Birthday.



We spent the first hour and a half touring the panda base and seeing the different panda enclosures.  It was breakfast time, so we were able to see a bit of activity from the pandas.  However, normally adult pandas don't do a lot.  They spend large amounts of time eating.






I have about 50 versions of this same picture.  Erica was beyond thrilled.  As we were leaving this area we were also (by chance) able to see some baby pandas having a bath.  So cute.
