I go a long way overland and take too many photos on the way.

After two nights on sleeper trains I arrived in Chengdu. I had to catch another sleeoer traib that night, so I left my luggage at the storafe at Chengdu East Station and headed directly to the Panda Base.

Chengdu has a very good metro system, so I took the subway and one bus to the base which is approximstly 10 km outside the city.

The base is a big reservat in the north east. First I decided to visit the museum, where they showed the history of pandas in China and how they support them and developed reproduction techniques.

Then I went to the pandas and it was great seeing this cute bear eating bamboo.

You can see there pandas of different age and red pandas. Really awesome - love these animals!

After the base I headed back to town. Actually Chengdu has about 11 million inhabitants, and so I got directly stuck in one of the biggest shipping streets. There were too many people. So I decided to take some pictures in the centre, and check something go eat and then going back to the station in the evening.
