The main target of the trip to Beijing Zoo is the Panda House.

Pandas have a particular way of eating bamboo leaves: first they strip the leaves from the bamboo using their mouths; their mouths slowly become full of leaves; then they pick up the leaves and roll them up usint their paws; they enjoy the green roll in the end, like a spring roll.
