Chengdu - Day 9: Panda Breeding Base

Part of getting to know Chengdu was to go and experience the Panda Breeding Base. The pride of Chengdu, and pride of China. It was a beautiful day, where another taxi driver tried to rip us off by driving the wrong way around town, and I let him because whatever.

The Panda Breeding Base is a large green area with many open outside enclosures for both the well known black-and-white Giant Panda, and for the totally unrelated but just as cute Red Panda. The pandas get a LOT of space in the park, and even more food. Really, the giant pandas were just sitting in piles and piles of bamboo, doing nothing but eating... or just lying on the floor being passed out. The red pandas were mainly lying around eating what looked like squash, but some were walking a bit too, making them just a bit more active than the giant pandas.
Regardless... they were all very adorable. And there were a whole bunch of just born tiny toddler pandas in the nursery too.

First panda spotted! But it only cared about bamboo :-)
Look ma! Red pandas!
The red pandas also only cared about food.
There were a lot of peacocks too
The pandas were being spoiled with bamboo.
The windows were so greased up by faces and fingers, it was hard to see...
After food, all a panda does is pass out
There were some lovely bamboo 'tunnels' in the park

We were not the only ones... being shooed along swiftly.
