day 5

Up early for us, 7am!!! After brekkie we all met up with Lu & headed off to Dujiangyan. This was a large area surrounding a big river that that was created into 2 rivers by a small dam. This area also contained a number of large temples that were connected by walking bridges that swayed as you crossed them!!! Climbing to the highest temple gave fab views of the torrenting river. Next we travelled on towards the Panda reserve, stopping on route for a cracking lunch with the best fish dish yet!! After satisfying our appetites we headed off to see the Pandas. The park had lovely enclosures but unfortunately all the Pandas were dining in. We did however get to see them through the glass as they enjoyed their bamboo. We were, however, treated to an outside display from the Red Pandas who by the way aren't Pandas at all. A good long day out.
