Say hi to the pandas!Say hi to the pandas!
Pandas are a huge, huge part of D.C. culture and personality. The Smithsonian’s National Zoo does not charge admission, so you can visit Qing Bao and Bao Li in their renovated habitat. Timed-entry tickets are required to enter the National Zoo, so make sure to plan your visit in advance, as this pair of pandas are certainly a popular attraction. PS: When work gets stressful, Saniya copes by watching the live Panda Cam because honestly, nothing says inner peace like watching a giant fluffball snooze. https://nationalzoo.si.edu/webcams/panda-cam
