There is a Chinese restaurant in the main(主要的) building. It’s on the second and third floors. You can order Chinese noodles and dishes from the front of the restaurant. There is bamboo in the corners on the walls. On the tables there are the Chinese characters for “panda”, xiongmao. The souvenir (紀(jì)念品) shop is just across from the restaurant. It sells all kinds of souvenirs about pandas. There are panda toys. There are also T-shirts and hats with pandas on them. It’s the last stop for visitors in Pandasia. The field around the buildings is the playground for Xing Ya and Wu Wen. Visitors go through the park gate and turn left. Then there is the playground. It covers over 2,000 square meters. There are hills and caves. Next to them are big stones and wooden ladders. Pandas spend almost half the day sleeping. So the bedroom is an important place for them.
