The giant panda is high on the endangered species list; only a few thousand of these unique animals remain, all in Gansu, Sichuan and Shaanxi provinces. The Chinese government is making great efforts to increase their numbers. The Chengdu Panda Breeding Center constitutes one such effort.

On Chengdu Heavenly Mountain there lived a tribe of great giants, able to fight tigers barehanded and win every time so great was their strength and fighting prowess. Their strongest and largest was called Kuafu, who some say was the son of Shennong. His strength, size and speed were truly amazing to behold and he was a wise and just leader loved by his people. He was held in great esteem all across the heavens.
