The final post to share from my days at the Chengdu Panda Base – last time I had an amazing time seeing the quintet of Bei Chen 北辰, Zhi Yu 徵羽, Jiao Yi 娇毅, Wen Jing 文静 and Jia Xin 家欣, and this time they’re still in the same house as they were but in different smaller combinations. I loved seeing all 5 together, but of course as they get older that’s not so practical. So on the first day of my visit I saw Wen Jing, Zhi Yu and Jia Xin outside, while Bei Chen and Jiao Yi were inside, and on the second day I saw Bei Chen, Zhi Yu and Jiao Yi outside (I didn’t go inside on this day to see the others).

Their yard is huge, I think the largest one in this pavilion, it’s on a corner so there are two sides to view from.
