Chengdu,  China

Chengdu is China's fifth most populous city

We performed three nights at the cities top club, Lotus Palace

Chengdu is part of the Sichuan province

Chengdu is the home of the Panda

We visited the Panda Breeding Station

For a fee, we were able to go inside the habitat of a Giant Panda

The staff has to keep the Panda occupied with food to keep them from attacking

The base is home to 80 Pandas

With a smaller, safer, Red Panda
