Hanging with panda bears in Beijing on Christmas


I drew a panda bear paperdoll for my Christmas cards this year. I´m aware it might seem somewhat far fetched, but it´s basically just a combo of stuff I love: Christmas, panda bears and paper dolls.
Some few years ago, we travelled to Beijing, China, for Christmas. It was very cold - and very, very magical. The first snow fell the day we visited the Great Wall, and we did see pandas, not in the wild, but at the Beijing Zoo. I was the first time a saw them in real life. I was so taken, I even forgot how cold it was. There cannot be a more beautiful creature on Earth. One was playing with a ball, another one was eating bamboo shots and a third was, I think, just chilling and posing for the camera.
I have not been to Beijing in summer, but I hear it´s hot and crowded. So I´d say winter is the ideal time to visit this amazing city. 

Together with my daughter on the Great Wall.
My children on the Sacred Road. Beijing.
Merry Christmas, sweet heart.
