Chengdu China Day 1

Signed up for a 10-day Tour of Jiuzhaigou/Huanglong/Leshan/Mt Emei/Chengdu from Chan Brothers : 11 June to 21 June 2011

Day 1 : An unearthly midnight trip to T1 for the 0200 flight to Chengdu on China Airlines. Cannot sleep during the 4 hour flight, food (fried mee) served at 0400 hours, imagine that. Reached Chengdu in morning. Mr Liu was there to meet us, an unlikely group of 12 (4 families).


Immediately, after a quick Kentucky breakfast at the airport, the bus proceeded to Du Jiang Weirs project, a major project which diverse the river flow. It was a massive project of immense importance to Chengdu.
