Trail of the Panda may be the last cinematic depiction of the magnificent view of Wolong preserve and the surrounding mountains, because the earthquake that shook Sichuan on May 12 last year has changed the landscape completely.
When the earthquake hit, a 26-member crew, led by director Yu Zhong, was shooting on Balang Mountain. Shooting of the film was all but over and most of the crew had left Sichuan.
On the way up the mountain, about 200 km from Chengdu and neighboring Wenchuan, the epicenter of the quake, Yu's bus suddenly shook fiercely.
