Bad timing

2.00We started the morning at the panda base and rushed through it while unfortunately not seeing much, because due to the hot weather all the pandas were inside. While this is not something the tour guide can influence, it's a risk travelers in the summer should be aware of. When I mentioned I wanted to buy panda souvenirs, the tour guide led me to a shop outside which was owned a by her friend, under the guise of being "cheaper and higher quality". I did not like the selection and in hindsight should have asked to go to the panda base's official shop. After exiting the panda base we had to wait almost 45 minutes for the driver to pick us up again. Apparently it was so crowded he could not find a parking spot, but the waiting time defeats the purpose of a private driver. The guide said we did not have enough time and removed Wenshu Yuan Monastery from the itinerary. We did go to Kuanzhai Alley and People's Park, where we finished at 4 PM after relaxing at a tea house for a full hour. I found this strange as the return train ticket was booked for 7:20 PM, so there was a lot of time to kill. After I inquired and the tour guide called with the organizer, she agreed to show me around the shopping area until 5:30 PM. However, I would have rather spent more time in the panda base or visit the monastery in the morning. I reached the train station at 6 PM and waited another full hour. Looking back, I probably would not have paid for the tour and would plan something myself.
A wonderful getaway to Panda City!
