One of the highlights here in Chengdu is the Giant Panda Breeding Base. Located just outside the city, it is the most recognized research facility for the Giant Pandas in the world. We toured the facilities and visited with the Pandas (around 50 giant pandas) and enjoyed another scorchingly hot day here in Chengdu. Turns out the Giant Panda eats bamboo for 16 hours a day and sleeps for 8 hours. Until mating season.
