I know you can have your photo taken with a baby panda at the Giant Panda Breeding Research Center near Chengdu. I don't think it's cheap.

I watched that TV program. To the best of my knowledge, unless you are a reporter or a celebrity, no one has been able to hold pandas at the Beijing Zoo. Several of the pandas in Beijing were brought recently from Chengdu.
