Chengdu trip Dec2009- 11/12/09(Friday)

Today we tour the most awaited... ''Panda Research Centre''. This is where the pandas lived other than the zoo in sichuan. I was able to see the pandas which are going to be brought to singapore.

Well, the panda are so lazy....eat, sleepy and shit. They would lean on the bamboo tree and eat the bamboo shoots. After which, shit... and off to sleep. They must have a cool environment in order to maintain their body temperature. They are so fortunate...how i wished to become a panda too.

Our tour guide told us that the panda fed on porridge during the sichuan earthquake. It's quite amazing that pandas could feed on porridge. They are the ''treasure'' of china so they must be treated with care. I noticed that many of the tourists came from the western countries. Even the president of US adopt a panda here and named it after his name.

Besides the black and white panda that we normally see, there are also another type of panda which looks like a fox with long tail. They are also species of panda but look quite differently. IMHO, i think the ''traditional'' panda looks more adorable.
After the trip to the Panda Research Centre, we shopped for panda assessories such as t-shirt, keychains...etc.
