We flew into Chengdu from Guilin as it was a 36 hours train ride! Chengdu was a big city (Chinas 5 most populous city, the greater metropolitan area has 13 million people!) wasn't a fan off the town nor the smog! The guesthouse we were staying in (Sims Cozy Guesthouse) was wonderful though... like a home from a home! They even had chocolate brownies! We visited the Giant Panada Research Base just outside of the town... the pandas were so cute, especially the babies :-)! Great they are breeding pandas as well as they are slowly decreasing in numbers!
Ordering food was interesting here in comparison to Yangshuo! No english menus.. so it was a case off pointing and hoping for the best.. lets just say we had to have a few cookies after our meal. lol! We were hoping to visit Songpan from here but due to Chinese National Holiday from 1-10 October, trains were really hard to come by so we had to make our way to Xian!
