We arrived for a couple of days in Chengdu. Originally not on the route but everyone was excited to be in a proper Chinese city and the Sichuan province is also home to the panda, which we went to visit in the breeding centre.
The centre was home to about 100 pandas of which we saw about 10 Giant and 5 Red. Seeing a Giant panda was amazing. They were just sitting around letting us watch them and the 2 week old baby was adorable. They were also suprisingly not that Giant! We also did a lot of walking around this humid and smoggy city, visiting the People's park watching the locals dancing and Tianfu Square. Also visited (much to some peoples delight) was the Mc Donalds- 3 times!
Today, some of us are visiting a temple and we are getting a sleeper train to Kumming this afternoon.
