Hi Johnson,

Good morning, Well arrived in chengdu. Hotel Rhumba very good. Much better than Sofitel. Rhumba room infrastructure is newer, modern and well maintained. Breakfast is very good with a lot of choice, western and chinese food.

Up to now, two best hotels are le Meridien and Rhumba.

For your info, Sofitel despite its French Brand and 5* has aged and Howard Johnson was well below a 5* standards.

Sorry, haven't read and reply to this message. Mobile internet most if the time switched off to spare battery.

Regarding Grass land, upon our arrival at Chengdu airport, we have been mislead by the first taxi driver who said that after having seen Jiuzhaigou, it was not worth seeing Huanglong on the second day as it is similar to Jiuzhaigou. He praised instead to see the grassland depicting the beautifulness of the blossom flowers. Frankly speaking, it was not worth at all. I guess that the first taxi driver never saw Huanglong and recommended the grassland with the best intention.

Today, we are on the way to day 8 tour with Jane.

Tours we have done since we started our journey are wonderful.

We will send you pictures of Jiuzhaigou and Huanglong are the most beautiful sites to visit. We will send you pictures.

We took very few pictures of Grassland, not worth to see at all for foreigners. The main attraction given by Tibetans people is horse riding up to the hill to have an overview on the grassland. The guide said price for the horse trip to go up the hill is about 300 rmb. For us, it was not worth it.

Tibetans are also preparing BBQ lunch for tourists. Besides, that nothing else. We didn't take lunch so can't tell about the BBQ.

We will also send you the few pictures taken which give an idea. There were groups of Chinese tourists coming by car or bus.

    Rachel Grant’s Panda Volunteer Experience in Dujiangyan

    The distinctive black and white animal is a national treasure in China and one of the rarest, most endangered bears in the world. A one-on-one encounter with a giant panda is a bucket list highlight and a must-do when you are in China. The time I spent witnessing such human dedication is truly eye-opening...
