Early one morning, we visited the famous Panda Research Center
lancewebel:
The mist still hung heavily in the air (making photos pretty difficult)
lancewebel:
And some of the pandas hung heavily in the shade
lancewebel:
They're pretty lazy creatures
lancewebel:
Pandas just sit around and eat all day
lancewebel:
And all year
lancewebel:
Can't get enough!
lancewebel:
Huh?
lancewebel:
It was almost more fun to watch the crowds watch the pandas
lancewebel:
The told us that these were "red pandas", but I'm pretty sure that they were Ewoks
lancewebel:
Or some sort of animatronic dolls
lancewebel:
Breakfast!
lancewebel:
They even looked fake when they climbed the trees!
lancewebel:
A lone voyager braves the wild forest of my knee
lancewebel:
The research center had the most ridiculous display I've ever seen in any type of museum, with giant handmade animals attacking each other
lancewebel:
I'm not sure what this is supposed to be.
lancewebel:
These boys were making boats out of paper ... I caught them playing with them in the bathroom sink

One evening in Chengdu, we went to a Sichuan opera performance
