downtown Chengdu

Today, we headed for downtown on the bus.  It only took about 15, and 1 bus.



my 15 year old guide
many stores also have English names
Mao 

new construction in every direction
nice stores, expensive stores!


a rare warning sign...


a modern take on tradition
A milk tea shop:  red bean tea on the left, milk tea on the right

typical fruit stand
Pedestrian mall 



downtown view

Shock! The first I've seen, in "old town" tourist area.

lots of tourists in recreated "old town"

a lunch item: rabbit heads ("grandfather makes this, very well")
