Well I got to see these amazing creatures but their sad faces reflected their bad situation. Think Auckland zoo 40 years ago. Very small indoor enclosures with everyone banging on the windows, camera flashes blinding the poor animals and large unkempt dens that you look down into. I turned around from these horrible enclosures and there were wide open grass areas, lush green, lots of trees and shelter, beautiful lakes and water features...for the humans. The Pandas were awesome but next time I hope to see them in their own habitat,Chengdu is the place I am told. The Beijing zoo is a definite what NOT to do...shame :-(
