Chengdu Just Before Spring Festival

---

Hi All,

Well when you're in Chengdu you've just got to go and see the pandas. It was lovely visiting at this time of year as the city and all the attractions are virtually deserted, well as deserted as a city with a population of 15 million can get.

They are super cute! especially the babies up in the trees. It does make you wonder what they do with them all. I mean when they get older they cannot live together as they fight, giant pandas are very territorial. I was in the red panda enclosure and one came down the tree right in front of me. They are beautiful animals.

I stayed in Hello Chengdu Hostel, new name for Sim's Cozy, which was virtually empty with it being spring Festival. The same couldn't be said for the train and bus stations which were straining under the mass exodus.

Enjoy the Photos

Jah Bless
