Going to Shanghai Pudong International Airport

Shanghai Airways – Hmm … not the best flight to take, but no choice … it was one of the cheaper flights liao …!!!

And we arrived in Chengdu … We hopped onto a van that was … they were actually a tour bus, but since they could not get anyone to take a tour that day, so they tried to rent out their travel services instead. Bargained for RMB 100 to bring us to our Hostel!

The hostel was a nice and cosy place … we had 7 of us, but we booked the entire 8 person room. After settling into the place, we headed to the tour agency to sign the contract and to pay the tour fees. Finally met Wang Xiao Jie (王小姐) and her voice or more precisely, her intonations, was very very funny. She recommended us to a Hot Pot place called Chong Qing De Zhuang (重庆得庄). The Hot Pot (火锅) was good … very very HOT … as you can see from the REDness of everything!

After dinner, we headed down to Qin Tai Lu (琴台路). It was an old street and the buildings there all had ancient architecture.

After walking a bit, we ended up at a massage place. The rest of the shops were all closing as we arrived there a little too late. The massage was not bad. RMB 60 for 2 hours of massage, including foot massage and body massage. That’s a price you would not be able to get in Shanghai.
