Animals Asia

In 2004 I visited Chengdu ..We did the usual thing shopping and walking. A visit to the Panda Reserve is a must and an unforgettable experience. but the highlight was a visit to Animals Asia Bear Rescue Centre. There you can tour the sanctuary, including the Education Centre and learn about the work they do rescuing the black asiatic bears (Moonbears) from a life in a cage on bile farms.Its a treat to see the bears free in compounds playing happily on the grass and searching for food treats. It is about a 30 minute car ride from the city of Chengdu
Tours have to be booked in advance.As the coordinator of the West Australian Animals Asia support group this was an experience not to be missed.
