Schedule today: After breakfast, drive to Dengchigou Catholic Church (1.5 hours), from where the giant panda “produced” when the French missionary and naturalist--Armand David worked here in the 1860s. He made one specimen of the giant panda and sent it to Paris National Museum (still kept there). Now inside the church you can find a small museum about David’s life in China and at the church. The church is built purely by woods, and the architectural style blends Chinese with French Gothic, which makes the church also very valuable in architecture, thus many people praise it as the Pandas’ Sanctuary. After lunch in Baoxing, drive to visit Shangli Ancient Town which was a stop for traders on the ancient Tea-Horse Road and now is a popular place for modern tourists.
