The final post to share from my days at the Chengdu Panda Base โ last time I had an amazing time seeing the quintet of Bei Chen ๅ่พฐ, Zhi Yu ๅพต็พฝ, Jiao Yi ๅจๆฏ , Wen Jing ๆ้ and Jia Xin ๅฎถๆฌฃ, and this time theyโre 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 thatโs 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 didnโt go inside on this day to see the others).
