Yesterday in the afternoon I took a walk around central Chengdu. The city is even more bright that 2 years ago during my previous visit. There are new pandas (the symbol of Chengdu) made of metal, plastic, stone in mane places. I walked to the central Tianfu Square to say Hello to the Chairman Mao – he still stands there adored and respected.
In the evening we had a meeting with the other members of our small group – it is only 4 of us: 3 from Switzerland and me, plus Luis – the local guide. It seems that the Chinese closed the part of our route and we will be forced to fly over the part of our planned itinerary. That’s China!
Can you imagine that it takes me 20 minutes or even more to upload one page to the internet? The Big Brother is watching me here. The page can be sent when approved. 🙂
But today we are starting to drive up to the west – the next overnight stay will be on the level of 3400 m above the sea!
