It's all about the Pandas ;-)

We finished our cruise at Chongching, and then made our way by train to Chengdu……………to see the PANDAS!!!!!! I was more than a bit excited, Danny less so, but it just had to be done. I was a bit worried about being disappointed by the whole experience, and worried about how the Pandas may have...

Aaaahhhh

Baby pandas. Bless. Had another overnight train ride from Xi'an to Chengdu (similar activities to the last one) then went to visit the Panda Breeding Centre nearby the following morning. I thought they would just sit there in their enclosures munching on bamboo but they were quite active - two...

Arrival~

Flew at 6.30 in the morning from Houston to Newark, Newark to Beijing, Beijing to Chengdu. It was the absolute longest flight ever, and I feel like I never ever want to be on a plane again... I don't think I'm built for sitting for 12 hours straight. For one thing, I get motion sickness... ...

Made it to the Du

An epic journey but we made it and Chengdu seems nice if a little hazy. Its certainly the most humid place I've been so far, though not to warm. The trip itself was a bumpy 7 hours bus from Lijiang to a town called Panzhihua in southern Sichuan. This place was horrid, thick layer of grime on...
