I adore pandas.... notice the little guy in the back making an escape.

When visiting China, this is a must see.

Food is totally unbelievable, I ate my way across the city.
People are warm, friendly, laid back.
They are far enough away from Beijing to be candid about their government.
The people love to practice English.

And yes the Panda Center was amazing.
We saw some naughty baby pandas trying to make an escape too.
