Insane Crowds To See China's Giant Pandas | Was It Worth It? 🐼

The Good, Bad and Ugly of Chengdu's Over popular Panda Attraction.
I recently spent a full day at the panda conservation center in Chengdu. It was a bit of a challenge with all the crowds and getting bumped by tour groups, but once I got to the panda areas, it was incredible. I saw giant pandas just hanging out, baby pandas messing around with their moms, and some red pandas too. They’re just as cute in person as you’d imagine. Captured all these moments in my latest video. If you’re into pandas or just want to see what the conservation efforts are like, definitely check it out.

    While a bit of a struggle to get around the pretty frustrating crowds, I honestly think it was worth it in the end. Pandas are just as adorable as you imagine 😅 Thanks for watching and subscribing!

    The yard where there are so many people, and where there is a queue is probably Villa No. 6 where He Hua and He Ye live. They are the most famous pandas in China now and everyone wants to see them. I think it takes 2 hours to wait in line just to see them for 3 minutes! Thank you for visiting the other pandas ☺

    Ah okay! That would make sense but that’s way too long to see a single panda. The rest are just as amazing in my opinion. Especially the ones playing with their children! It was so cool to see how aggressively playful they were 😂

    I thoroughly enjoy the videos you create and would love for you to visit again. If your dietary preferences make it inconvenient, you might consider dining at a temple or some vegetarian buffet restaurants, where the cuisine is equally delightful.😃

    There was such a fine line when they were awake and asleep 😂 If you arrive after 10am they’re inside so their pens can get cleaned/new bamboo and then once they come back out they stuff themselves and just sleep and lay around. Which honestly, is still really fun to watch I didn’t get a chance to try hotpot (I don’t eat meat) but I think Chengdu had some of the best food I’ve tried so far in China!

    最好点番茄锅底,或者没有动物油脂的清汤底 实际上如果你现在在云南的话,刚好赶上吃蘑菇的季节​,云南人超爱吃各种蘑菇,他们的蘑菇很美味(虽然每年有很多人因为蘑菇食物中毒,但是已经打消不了云南人对蘑菇的热爱) 我记得去年美国有个国务卿来云南下飞机去饭馆先点了两锅蘑菇。 @@ramblingbard

    Ah! Im not currently in Chengdu but didn’t try one there BUT I did try a hotpot in Lijiang. It was specifically a mushroom place with more mushrooms than I’ve ever seen on a menu. Honestly though, it’s WAY too much food for one person 😂 but was delicious.

    China is not like Japan. I know Japan gets attention, more exposure and a lot of fans. But it’s just insulting to keep saying China is like Japan when some foreigners visit China. I mean we ve been here so long and we influenced the neighborhood countries. We don’t look like others. Thanks.

    Sure, that’s true but usually when I say things like that it’s because it reminds me of places I’ve been before. I haven’t kept it in other videos (just because how the editing works) but I’ve mentioned that the forests of China remind me of the ones in Ireland and Sweden too. Nothing bad meant by it, just me trying to normalise a landscape to something familiar!

    I'm a Chinese vegan, no meat, no milk, no egg, no onion, no garlic, no leeks… sometimes even some snacks such as cakes and cookies are unfitted… I seldom eat at restaurants because almost all restaurant dishes contain pungent seasonings made of onion or garlic, I tend to merely eat mantou or corn when outside. I've been quite used to it. 😂Temple food is my favorite especially vegetable dumplings! I love dumplings!

    It's crowded because some famous pandas live there. They're even called "real celebs" of the panda world. Douyin is not available international, but if you use Tiktok, people sometimes reup clips of those pandas there. I think the spot where hundreds of people gathering for a foto is where the famous HuaHua and her sister live.

    I think it’s more that the dirt has some minerals that make it more red looking, and considering they’re sitting down a LOT during the day it’s probably just that
