Li River Guilin, China

It took more than 24 hours by train to travel from Chengdu to Guilin. The train ride was fun it got better because i met other kids on the train.  We got to watch movies (Xi Yang Yang 喜洋洋one of my favorites). It turned out the other kids liked the movie as well. Guilin is located in one of the most beautiful parts of China.  We visited Yangshuo which is an ancient town in China - more than 2,000 years old, we also took a boat down Li River.  It was nice to visit the villages in Yangshuo to see how people live in rural China and visiting Hui and Yao ethnic minorities.

Giant Pandas in Chengdu

This is an amazing place to visit and learn about the Pandas.  The park is very big, green, and nicely kept. We ended up spending an entire day in the park.  We saw the Giant Pandas as well as Red Pandas. I'm glad that we went in the morning because we got to see them come out during feeding time - they love eating bamboo.  I don't agree with animals placed in the zoo but I was impressed to see how nicely kept the Pandas were.

Awww cute:)
