TYLin Trip to Jiuzhaigou
YowCH and Grace left home on Thursday to catch a flight at 2:00am to Chengdu for the TYLin company trip to Jiuzhaigou. The children did not join this trip, as it is mostly bus rides and walking, with sightseeing in between, none of those children friendly activities. Big thanks to Grace’s parents for looking after them.
Here we are, just landed in Chengdu on 29 Oct morning.
We then visited Luodai Ancient Town and the Dujiangyan irrigation system. The river and scale of the system is huge.
We had dinner with the TYLin Congqing office colleagues at a Sichuan hotpot restaurant, and enjoyed great numbing spicy hot soup steamboat and a nice strong liquor “Wu Liang Ye”.
The next day, 30 Oct, we went to the airport to fly to Jiuzhai Huanglong Airport at 10:20a, but due to heavy fog, the flight was delayed by over 4 hours. We reached Jiuzhai at 3:10pm, after waiting in the plane for 4 hours and a shot 40 minutes flight. The plane took us over the clouds and mountains, beautiful views.
After we landed, and having lost 4 hours, the first stop is a tea house where we were expected to buy some tea (typical tour shopping stopover). The scenery of the rural area was fantastic.
This is a short trip update. More updates later on, and a dedicated page to file the trip.
