I had a late morning, and then caught the bus to Dali. I was expecting a 3 hour ride, but it turned into 5 when there was an accident in a mountain pass, which stopped traffic in both directions for 1.5 hours. Typically, I didn't know what was going ... Read more >

After my visit to the pandas, the monestary, and the park, I went to a Sichuan Opera show in the evening. I was not expecting that I would like it, since I didn't like the Beijing opera show I saw all that much (sorry, Wei), but this show was amazing.... Read more >
