We arrived from Xian. In Chengdu, the main attraction was seeing Heather after a half year absence.
For this phase of the trip Heather was our guide, plus her friend Olivia also contributed her Chinese language expertise
for much of this time. Not only did we tour Chengdu, Sandy and I went on a day tour to a nearby Panda Reserve.
