Chengdu Panda Picture Program
So I had been planning to do this tour when in Chengdu. But, upon checking with the St Regis for tour and cost options, they said that picture program is closed. Which would really suck.
Can anyone else confirm that's accurate information? There are no other options in China to get a picture with a panda?

There are four panda bases around Chengdu. chengdu panda base,wolong panda base,dujiangyan panda base,ya'an panda base.
Yesterday, I went to Wolong Panda Base with two panda volunteers.Yesterday's guests did not hold panda.
Yes, the service has stopped now. we don't know when to open it again.
This policy is constantly changing.Last January, the service was discontinued....But last March, it was opened again.
what time your trip?

Wolong Panda Base, where there are the largest number of pandas, 62 pandas, now.Yesterday we saw 11 baby pandas.
In Chengdu Panda Base, such service was discontinued in April 2016.
There are only 20 pandas in Dujiangyan Panda Base. There is no baby panda.The Panda Base stopped such service last November.

I honestly don't have much interest in the pandas if I can't get the selfie. It's just like going to a zoo.
