Today is the big day, when the girls get to sit with a baby panda. We're off to the Dujiangyan Panda Research Center.
Where you can pay $100 or so for the privilege of scooping up panda poop and cleaning the panda enclosures. What a great racket. They actually make money on labor. LOL.
While doing some pre-trip research, I stumbled across Chengdu Food Tour, a tour company run by an ex-pat Canadian who married a local gal and who now lives in Chengdu. Jordan met us at our hotel around 4:30pm for the start of our 5+ hour food orgy. We headed up the street to grab the Chinese equivalent of Uber. No not ours, just a car dealer at the corner, while we waited.
And we're off to see the pandas today and tomorrow, one of the highlights of the entire trip. Today's stop is the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding, a lovely park with numerous panda viewing areas.
The walk into the park, with lots of flags and pandas.
