Jiuzhaigou Part 6: Chengdu/Summary

The final highlight of the Jiuzhaigou tour was of course the giant pandas. The Chengdu Panda Preserve has probably the largest numbers of panda, over 40. These panda are very active playing and eating.
Chengdu is a very nice city; it is a great place to relax for a few days. We also took the opportunity to see the traditional opera that highlighted the changing face show. This is amazing; a performer can change the face mask AND costume by a flash of a fan or a flag. Summary: I am so glad that Sam and I had the opportunity to visit Jiuzhaigou. There are so many scenic sites in the area: Huanglong, Jiuzhaigou, and Emei Shan. The trip was strenuous, mainly because of the bumpy ride and high altitude of Huanglong on the first day of our visit. However, we have no regrets. Jiuzhaigou was truly the trip of a live-time.
