Thanks for reading and stopping by 🙂 so happy to have you! How awesome that you volunteered at Bifengxia–I LOVED it there! It was gorgeous, plus…pandas :). I was working so Bifengxia was the main touristy thing we did–I would love to go back and see the Leshan Buddha, I’m bummed I missed it! I will just have to go back I guess. I also miss Sichuan food–I’ve never found it nearly as good anywhere else!

I went here last summer too and volunteered at Bifengxia for two weeks. I loved it, and I miss Sichuan province sooo much!! I never made it up to the Valley with the waterfall, though. But we did to go Emei Shan and Leshan Giant Buddha.
Awesome! 😀

It’s sad that they don’t have much natural territory left 🙁 they are such a unique and amazing animal! Plus those little ones are SO CUTE.
The hanging coffins were so cool! I haven’t seen anything like that before. How amazing that you were invited to a locals’ home! We were certainly the only foreigners for miles and miles, and sometimes the only people around! It was nice and surprising, considering the rest of China (or at least the places we visited) seemed so, so crowded.
Thank you so much for visiting and for your thoughtful comments! I hope you stop by again 🙂

When I visited the panda sanctuary in Chengdu, I was shocked at how they are kept there. Some of the places looked like cells in a prison and there didn’t seem to be a lot of outdoor areas for the pandas to live.

I loved the area with the hanging coffins! It’s really beautiful. I went there in August 2009 and except for some locals, my friend and I seemed to be the only people there. It was sweltering hot and we got invited by a local to their home and had oh so delicious (mostly vegetarian) homemade Sichuan dishes.

I have a friend who really loves pandas and I haven’t seen such a collection of pandas in my life since we became friends.. and I started to like them too, realizing how cute they are! <3

I was so sad I didn’t get to see them in China but I’ve seen them at the Seattle Zoo 🙂 I heard the sanctuary in Chengdu is great! I think a lot of pandas came to Bifengxia from Chengdu after the 2008 earthquake.
