Chengdu

In the morning, we drove about hour to Gongkar Airport to fly to Chengdu.

At Chengdu, we met our guide, Ray, checked into our hotel, the Yinhe Dynasty Hotel, and then went to the Sanxingdui Museum. This museum has many exhibits about the archaeological discoveries that were made in the area.

At 7pm, we went to see a Sichuan Opera performance. This performance included traditional opera, rod puppets, hand shadows, fire spitting, and face changing.

Afterwards, Terri and Al went shopping, while the guide, my parents, and I went to eat at a xiao chi (little eats) restaurant.
