As China's national treasure, and even the treasure of the world, people's love for pandas has not decreased, so I am.
Knowing that I can have this opportunity to “serve” the pandas, I am filled with excitement and expectations. It turns out that this experience is unforgettable and very meaningful for my whole life.
Round Trip for Dujiangyan Panda Loving Care
At five o'clock in the morning, I got out of bed, then took a taxi to the train station and took the early morning bullet train to Qingchengshan Station with my colleague Vivien. Then take the bus to the Dujiangyan Panda Base which belongs to the closest panda base to do Panda Loving Care program. The other two are Bifengxia Panda Base in Ya’an and Shenshuping Panda Base in Wolong County, which need around 2~3 hours’ driving and a little bit far away from Chengdu downtown area.
In the morning, the air looked very fresh, and the sun rose slowly, very dazzling. A good day is about to begin.

Taking advantage of my free time before labor, I took photos at the door.

Do Panda Loving Care Work First
As with the process we learned before, we started the day's work. If you don't know much about the loving care's service, you may feel that this is a very leisure trip, but it turns out that this is a matter of physical strength and love.
Participants involve in Panda Loving Care work, including carrying out old bamboos, picking up droppings, cleaning up panda enclosures, carrying in fresh bamboos leaves and shoots, etc.
Just like I have done in the below photo. It’s tired, but I’m also very proud of it.

Break Bamboo and Prepare for Food
After carrying out old bamboos, picking up droppings, cleaning up panda enclosures, take the chance to take a picture to remember this special time. When we’re at work, the pandas will be closed in the cages in case of any dangerous will happen.

Make Panda Cake
Another interesting thing is to make the panda cake. Though making the panda cake is very simple, you will learn what the pandas eat in the usual days and also you will know what ingredient it is inside the cakes.
