This morning we went out to see the pandas. At first we saw
some in their indoor enclosures, peeling away the hard outer layer of bamboo
with their deceptively sharp teeth, and biting off the juicier insides. They
sat back relaxed in their pile of bamboo with their fluffy tummies exposed.
After that, we saw quite a few in outdoor enclosures, even some small young
ones playing on the wooden platforms and learning how to maneuver around their
surroundings without being too clumsy! They were just so gorgeous, you could
sit and watch them for hours!
In the evening we went to the Chengdu opera which was quite
spectacular and much more enjoyable than Peking Opera. The performance included
amazing costumes and different skills such as flame blowing, acrobatics and
their famous ‘face changing’ where they change masks on stage in the blink of
an eyelid and you are left wondering how it could be done! Quite amazing!
This is sounding more like it. Keep safe xx
