My first new panda location within China for this trip – I made it to Chongqing Zoo! I already discussed getting there, the fantastic panda-themed metro stop and what else I saw in Chongqing, but it’s time to share about the pandas. Chongqing Zoo has one of the largest collections of pandas outside of the main bases in Sichuan province, and because of that it’s incredibly popular – it likely didn’t help that I visited on a Saturday, but it was incredibly busy, possibly busier than I’ve seen Chengdu Base at on some visits. At the time I found this a bit off-putting and didn’t think I would return, but with more hindsight, I do think I’d still go back – just with a selfie/camera stick this time, I think this is the place where I’ve seen the most selfie sticks at one time!
