In this video, Reanne and Ben take their family—sister, brother-in-law, and two young nieces—on their very first day in China, specifically in Chengdu. The day begins with a tour from New Trip Panda, a local company that picked them up in a luxury EV car. The family visits the Giant Panda Breeding Research Base, but this time they use the new, secret entrance recommended by their guide, Nick. Unlike their previous visit where they saw only two pandas and waited hours, this time they see over a dozen pandas up close, including playful cubs in a theater-like setting. Nick explains that pandas are naturally lazy because their bamboo diet lacks nutrition, and he shares insights about China's compulsory education, free water in hotels, and the government-fixed pricing for attractions. After the panda base, they head to a traditional Sichuan restaurant for hot pot, complete with a face-changing performance. The family is delighted by the food, the hospitality, and the constant gifts given to the children. The kids even declare they love China more than Thailand. The day ends with a teaser for the next episode featuring an EV car exhibition. Throughout, Reanne and Ben reflect on how China's safety, cleanliness, and infrastructure contrast with their home city in the UK, and they emphasize that a tour guide made all the difference in experiencing the best of Chengdu.
Reanne and Ben’s family’s first 24 hours in China shattered every Western media stereotype. From a secret panda entrance to a face-changing hot pot feast, the day was a whirlwind of authentic surprises. The kids fell in love, the adults were blown away by the safety and hospitality, and by evening, even the toughest skeptic was plotting a return trip.

They live from 18 to 25 years, with the longest about 30 years.
Why are pandas so lazy?
It's because their diet is 99.9% bamboo, which doesn't give them much energy, so they are naturally lazy.
