On my way to see Yuan Meng in Panda House 1 the first panda I came across was Gong Zai – he was one of the few sitting out to eat and was ignoring his keepers calls to get him to come in, the bamboo was too appealing! He was sitting close to the front viewing area with a big pile of bamboo and I really enjoyed standing for ten-fifteen minutes watching him. It was very quiet at his enclosure, with maybe only ten people watching him so it was a very nice panda-viewing experience. I particularly loved his sign, I could definitely tell he had a strong physique and it’s fun to know that he was the prototype for Kung Fu Panda =D
