My husband and I had a very nice journey to Szechuan in 2008. Initially we planned to climb Mount Hua but the earthquakes in Szechuan changed our plan. While tourists shunned Szechuan, I thought it was an opportunity of a life time to see the wilderness there without the crowds.

Szechuan opera
The very famous face changing opera.
The artist does not only change the face mask. He can also change the costume at the same time so that the colour of the costume matches that of the face mask.

I booked a room in a hotel on the internet. When we checked it and they found out that my husband is a Gweilo (yang guizi), they said they could not accommodate us because they did not have the proper license to entertain foreign friends. Instead they put us in a youth hostel nearby which turned out to be very pleasant and full of character.

Old vs new
Starbucks in Kuan Zhai Xiang Zi, one of the three historical relic protection areas in Chengdu. It is euphemised as ancient meets modern.
Ancient bricks of a few thousand years old
River Jin, which meanders through the city
People's Park, Chengdu, full of people and activities. Can you spot me?
These are some of the places we visited in our first 2 days in Szechuan.
