After a long trip in the night train between Xi An and Chengdu, we arrive at 6AM just in time to go to see the panda with a couple of french travelers. Hopefully, we went really early as the panda spend most of their time sleeping and the only way to see them awake is to come in the morning when they feed them.
At the first look, you fell in love with them as they are very cute, but you don t understand how the evolution let them live till now: they are sleeping all the time, their color white and Blake must not help them to be unseen, they must eat a lot of bamboo but as they are sleeping most of the time, they must be very efficient.
For the little story, if you save a panda of starving, the Chinese government reward you with a lot of money but if you kill or make business on them: you run the risk of death penalty...
I discovered also the red panda, which is a mix of Panda, cat and raccoon but has the same behavior: sleeping most of the time so definitely a Panda
As we were a bunch of french and that we ve heard that there was a Carrefour in Chengdu: we ended up to try to find some Camemberg and wine, but unfortunately: no cheese and we found no french wine. That give us the chance to taste the great wall wine which was good enough to give us a taste of France.
