You know what is one of the major attraction of China. Great Wall, Beijing, Shanghai.. Let me give you more hints. It is something with White and Black in colour. 😆 PANDA 😆 So this time its time to see Panda.The first option is Shanghai Zoo.But we read that the Panda there is in glass room and not very good. My friends doen’t advised me there to see. The Second option is ‘Shanghai Wild Animal park‘ which is awesome.One of the Shanghai Attractions. So we decided to go to it. I can categorize this trip as “Shanghai Day Trip”. But before the real story, some quick sneak peek 🙂

Panda View

Till now we have seen a lot of animal now the search for Panda started. In map it shows two location for Panda. But after lot of walk when we reached one location it says ‘Panda House under construction’ so all Panda moved to the second location.We actually starved to see Panda at that point. So we started our direction to the second location of Panda.It was already 14:00 when we reach to Panda.There are ten Panda there in Zoo(All were sleeping when we reach 😥 after lunch). They all have names also :-D. Panda there is kept in most attention. Beautiful room, High quality food and guard all round to watch.As Panda is heritage of China and have a danger of Extinction so management has taken full care of this attractive and Famous species. Obviously Panda become most famous after “Kumfu Panda” has been released.No Doubt seeing Panda was a great experience.I was about stuck there seeing Panda but my friends pulled me from there.Ohh my Cuttu Cuttu Panda…
