Chéngdū

Why preserve natural habitat for the Pandas when you can just put them in a zoo and generate a profit center?? My one goal for Chéngdū was to see these Panda bears everyone's talking about. I'll have to admit, they're mighty cute. Kawaii! Kawaii! the Japanese tour groups exclaimed... The Panda cubs are quite clumsy, and it was fun to watch them stumble around and fall from tree branches. Their hand dexterity is remarkable, and some of them even peel the bamboo stalks before eating them. Well worth the visit to see these amazing creatures...
