Home of the Giant Pandas
I hope you enjoy photos of Giant Pandas. I only included a few of the over 350 pictures we took at the base.
At first we were only going to let the girls hold a "Kindergarten Panda". Yuan Lin (meaning "Garden" in Chinese) is about 5-6 months old and mostly a giant fluff ball. Brian caved to my wishes "Since we've come all this way, I really want to hold a baby panda too." What a loving husband. Plus, it's only money, right? The girls have said this was the highlight of their entire trip. Jacqueline's 2nd was the Terracotta Warriors and Alison's the Great Wall.
All in all it was the most amazing whorl wind trip one could ever ask for.

Those teeth are vicious looking, but they actually made the bamboo sound appetizing.
Crunch, crunch, crunch. |
 |
| They eat most of the day. Mostly bamboo that has to be trucked in daily from the mountains as the variety they eat is from higher elevations. |

We had fun chatting with a local group of children on a field trip.
"Hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, what's your name, hi, hi, what's your name?'
They have the basics down. |
