Chengdu Pandas and LeShan Buddha
After our After our trip to Shanghai and Japan we went back to Xi'an. Then we took Barbara Openshaw with us on the fast train and went to see Chengdu, south of here and about 3 hours on the train, which travels at 300 KPH. Chengdu has the largest panda reserve in the world. It was amazing and can't wait to go there again. Almost! The first few pandas we saw were in buildings, but soon we found the area where they are outside in their natural habitat. Isn't that the cutest face you ever saw? This guy was way up in a tree that wasn't big enough to support his weight. But somehow it did. We thought he was going to fall a couple of times! Playing and wrestling together. Just enjoying some bamboo! YUM! After eating all the bamboo, they need a nap! WE loved going to Chengdu and seeing the Pandas. They are such beautiful, cuddly looking animals. They appear so calm and peace...
