This trip to the panda sanctuary was fantastic. My driver, WuWei, arrived early and had a sign with my name on it. This allayed any fears about whose car I was going to get in. The pandas had just been fed. I got some amazing photos and videos which delighted my little heart. I posted 50 on Facebook and was afraid people would just "Like" and not look. My friends were as enamored with these black and white stuffed toys come to life as I was. I wanted to ride the trolley but ever figured out how. The Tea room was closed and unkept. :( The toilet I went in was dirty. The grounds were well-kept. Walking paths are peaceful and well-maintained. The animals for the most part seemed content--the pandas happily chomped on the bamboo stalks. I would definitely go again.
