the Chengdu research base of giant panda breeding is the place to go. It’s not too far and cheap to get there.

Yeah seeing the pandas is totally worth it, especially the baby ones. Cutest things ever! However, one thing that I noticed when I went there several years back, and many friends have seen the same thing since, is that the animal keepers will secretly let you pet a brown panda if you pay them enough money. I found it really disheartening how these workers, who are supposed to love and care for the animals, will compromise their wellbeing for the sake of a few bucks. The pandas clearly looked distressed so please if you see this happening when you go there, try to report it to someone. Anyway, here's more practical info if you want to go:

1375 Xiongmao Dadao,Chengdu
成都外北熊猫大道1375号
Open: 7:30 – 18:00
Tel: 028 8728 8159
Entrance fee: 30 RMB

Answer of the DayMORE >>
A: No, it's not allowed to work under RP at 2nd job! I'd say, Z visa
A:No, it's not allowed to work under RP at 2nd job! I'd say, Z visa/RP sponsor can have an objections to your part-time job. I did the same at my English teaching in China and elsewhere, butT ... I casually mentioned at my prime job, some kindergarten or another school asked me to work with them part-time. Then, my Q: "Is that permitted?" ...  Answer from RP sponsor was always "Yes, but you can't be late or miss the classes at our school ..." with my reply: "No, our work schedule has a priority, and I'll arrange classes at kindergarten only in my free time." When I cleared that, I was undertaking any extra teaching hours at other schools and private students in my free time.Sometimes, teachers at my prime job asked me if I'm willing to have some extra classes elsewhere.I accepted after the talk with School's principal. I suggest, you test the felling at your Z/RP sponsor and once you see they don't object, you can work at 2nd job. Keeping your 2nd job as a secret from your employer won't work, 'cause you're laowai and Chinese know exactly what you do in your free time. However, despite your employer's agreement for extra work, you are still in violation of Chinese Labour law, and even if your sponsor agrees to your extra work, you can still get in trouble, because it's clearly written (somewhere ... ) that under Z/WP, one can work only at the Z-sponsor and nowhere else. Penalties ... I'd say, there won't be any warnings and you'll be required to exit China in short Exit time.It never happened to me, so I can't really advice how is when manure hits the fan ...  -- icnif77
