China-Leshan

After a few days in the city, we felt the urge to see some green again. That’s why we decided to visit Leshan with its giant Buddha statue. Breathtaking and really huge! Unfortunately it was raining that day and it was really foggy. That’s why we skipped our plan to continue to Emei Mountain and took a bus back to Chengdu. Sorry people, no pics of Emei, you’ll have to google it!!! ;-)

China- Panda breeding station

Chengdu is home to a panda breeding station. A must-see for all visitors to Chengdu. And they are soooooooooooooo cuuuuuuuuute!!!!

China-Sichuan Opera

You cannot leave Chengdu without visiting Sichuan Opera. It is more about theatre, dancing, face changing art, marionettes and fire-spitting than about singing. Still a nice evening!

China-Chengdu

A city in China we had never heard of before surprisingly turned out to be very modern and enjoyable. With more than 10 million people, it is the capital of Sichuan province. After Tibet it was a more than welcoming change and we even found a McDonald’s for Cheun! lol!

We strolled around, went to the cinema and enjoyed city life. We had loads of tea and of course the famous hot pot where we tried chicken heart, chicken feet and chicken lungs. And liked it to our surprise!
