Q: Why doesn't China have any Panda attractions or amusement parks?

I think the Panda is a very popular animal and it attracts many tourists to visit China. However, I find that there aren't any Panda attractions or amusement parks themed around Pandas. Why is that?

In Guangzhou, at the Chime Long Amusment Park complex, they have Safari World, that actually has a very large panda natural habitat. It's next to the koala habitat. But no, I haven't seen any exclusively Panda themed parks.

As far as why that isn't available, I'm not real sure. If it was located in a larger city like Shanghai, Bei Jing or Hong Kong, it might go over well becasue tourists might patronize it, but as far as local people, I don't know if they are as crazy about pandas as those from other places. Personally, regular pandas are cool, but kung-fu pandas are better! cheeky

There are Giant Panda Research Bases in Chengdu, Bifengxia and Wolong (although that one is closed because of the earthquake in 2008, due to reopen this year). You can visit with the pandas, see them in semi-natural habitats, and even have your picture taken with one. 

Look up Chengdu, it's like panda land Smile

There's a panda breeding center in Chengdu that people go crazy over. I've seen some photos where people actually get to hold the babies.

I think that since the panda is a native animal, it's not as cool to locals as it is to foreigners. I also think that most visitors to the park would be Chinese, so theme parks are based on what Chinese people find interesting. If they thought pandas were the best thing ever, of course they'd have more amusement parks related to the animal.

A:I'll give my two cents on the age part. It's not as easy but can definitely be done. I was 21, fresh out of university and landed my first teaching job in china as a homeroom kindergarten teacher on a pretty standard 20,000/month salary. I'm 1 year in now and am still happy. Pretty much all international kindergarten jobs on here want 2 years experience, but many will still accept if you have experience in your home country. With that being said, being white and having a nice looking face is much more of a decision factor in china vs the west, if you can- use it to your advantage. Good luck finding something! -- brinsleym
