Giant Pandas often gives a lazy impression – when they’re not eating, they sleep. Some scientists argue that the low nutritional value of bamboo accounts for that. Eating bamboo is essential to maintain life; since the Giant Panda can only eat a certain amount of bamboo within 24 hours, they have to live a slow life in order to prevent excessive energy consumption.


Be here at Panda Research Center early in the morning in order to watch the pandas eating, playing and sleeping.

The two Giant Water Wheels is the landmark of Lijiang Old Town. Water, in fact, flows everywhere in Lijiang. Crystal-clear streams wind around all the houses and flow through the courtyards. Stone bridges span the streams. Streets paved with colored stones, including Square Street, are thus kept free from dust and mud in all seasons. The source of these streams is the Jade Spring River, which meanders past the foot of Elephant Hill, north of Lijiang. In addition, there is the White-Horse Dragon Pool and wells sunk around the numerous springs. The local people have made ponds along the courses of the springs. The upper ponds supply drinking water, the middle ponds are for washing vegetables, and the lower ponds are for washing clothes. The spring water that overflows the banks is used for washing the streets.
