Visitors: The giant panda house is closed to provide Mei Xiang with a quiet environment. She is showing sensitivity to noise, which is consistent with the final stages of a pregnancy or pseudopregnancy. The best time to see the giant pandas outside is before 9:30 a.m. and at the 1:30 p.m. animal demonstration.
