Chengdu China Shopping Jinli Street 2010 : CHENGDU CHINA ...JINLI STREET AND AROUND TOWN..FEBRUARY 2010Our 2010 trip to Chengdu China was focused again on the panda and moonbear visits but there was a LOT to take in on our free evenings and a whole day of poking around town. Our guide/friend Mickal was the most incredible host, even inviting Gayle and I to his families Chinese New Year Celebration. This was the Year of the Tiger. Mickal's driver Mr. Li and his daughter who spoke English escorted us to Bifengxia Panda Base in the nearby city of Yaan. All the panda and moonbear visits are in a separate album. In this gallery you will find images of the local temples, Sichuan Opera and local market and crafts as well as the Chengdu Lantern Festival. We stayed at Buddha Zen boutique hotel. Zoom in on the MAP THIS link to see the incredible historic area Gayle and I stayed in.

KUNMING CHINA 2006 : This was the last leg of our China Journey visiting my son who was in a Mandarin immersion course in Kunming.

This city is also nicknamed as the "City of Eternal Spring" which was very appropriate. The temperatures stay steady at about 70 degrees or so all year and flowers everywhere!!! Some of the BEST coffee I have ever had was in Kunming from the mountainous regions outside the city "Yunnan" coffee as it's called

The teas were also highly prized from this area and every one we tried was delicious!!!!

A secret in China about tea. Always leave a touch of tea in your cup if you don't want a refill or more hot water in your pot........otherwise it just keeps coming!!! LOL!
