May 5, 2015 - Flew Air China CA4112 leaving from Beijing International Airport at 9:00am and arriving in Chengdu at 12:00 noon. Picked up by our Natural Habitat Adventures Tour operator and transferred to the Shangri-La Hotel to begin our “The Wild Side of China Photo Adventure” tour.


We would have a Natural Habitat Adventures Tour guide from the U.S., two Chinese Naturalist guides, and a bus driver for the duration of the tour. We had 8 participants on the tour.


May 6, 2015 - We drove to the Dujianyan Panda Base near Dujiangyan Town. This is a smaller facility and we are able to photograph some of the Giant Pandas and the Red Pandas. We were also able to make a donation to the Panda Base and it allowed the participants to be photographed sitting next to a Giant Panda Juvenile.


Here is a photograph of one of Giant Pandas at Dujianyan Panda Base.
