Chengdu, where we planned to get on to the train that would eventually take us into Tibet is also (fortuitously) home of the Chinese Panda Research Centre. Early one morning we got into a mini bus with others from our hostel and spent a few hours wondering around the centre. The first hour or so we were the only people there, then the world descended and we were crowded in true stereotypical style by loud Americans ignoring the signs to stay quiet and excitable Chinese who squealed and clapped when an animal did something, anything.
Not much to say so shall just post some of our favourite photos of these chaps, who true to form looked awfully cuddly. Starting with the young ones:

Love is...

It's like looking in a mirror
The red pandas (who aren't really bears) were pretty cool too:
But the big guys were the stars of this show:
Panda town meeting
Oopsy...
Goodnight x
