For those of you considering a panda visit anytime soon, here's an update following the quake
The good news
No reports of damage for the Panda Breeding Center in Chengdu. It's a bit further from the quake epicenter than Wolong. Tours, though, have been suspended in the area until the rescue and recovery effort are further along. But .. since they've reported on Wolong, keeping our fingers crossed that 'no news is good news' in this case
The bad news
Wolong has reported five workers killed, panda houses seriously damaged. Three pandas missing; no information yet on the pandas in the wild in Sichuan province.
Wolong Panda Reserve - Earthquake update 5-19-08 The three days of mourning are now on in China. Sad, sad times for the Chinese people. Our hearts go out to all of them
Cheers, Anne
