Kelsey and I had exciting plans. We would visit the Giant Panda Breeding and Research Center. We got to see many wonderful panda adults, babies, and teenagers. Kelsey even got to hold a baby panda bear. It was a over so fast but she will never forget the experience--and talk about cute!
Here is Kelsey holding the panda baby. They gave it a piece of bamboo covered in honey to lick while she held it.
In the evening we went to a traditional Sichuan Opera. There were beautiful dances, little operatic plays, shadow puppets, large marionettes, and wonderful traditonal instruments.
I even got to hear my favorite traditonal Chinese song on the Erhu, two stringed instrument.
