According to the manager of the scenic spot, the panda did not show up again.

"This is the first giant panda spotted in the surrounding town of Yingxiu," a staff member in Forestry Department in Wenchuan County has confirmed.

The scenic spot where the giant panda appeared is 40 kilometers away from the Wolong Giant Panda Reserve.
