Beijing Zoo

Sunday morning we visited the Beijing Zoo, home to no fewer than 8 giant pandas. We got to see them eating, sleeping, and scratching themselves in several different very well appointed habitats. There was plenty of crowding, but it was all in the respectful Chinese way and we all got plenty of good looks at these wondrous creatures.

The rest of the zoo was decent, highlights including the 'lesser panda' (like a big, chubby furry fox), some huge wolves, and the ghost-like golden monkeys. We were also entertained by the little monkeys' antics at feeding time.
