A tree tour to Jiuzhaigou was a wonderful trip with four Indian families heading off for four days leaving Chengdu at 9:00 am in the morning!

We left the house at 9:00 am in the morning as it was 600 kilometers away from Chengdu ....... It was indeed a very long journey ...! On the way to Jiuzhaigou the van with 14 people was a silent place as everybody were sleeping ............... We stopped at a particular place for lunch at around 11:30 am !

Since I have been training it in China I have been going for the hard sleeper which is the dorm sleeping of train travel and either end of the carriage are the sections for the ablutions and urn for the hot water. So basically, everybody is thrown together for the duration of the journey and nothing is ever sacred on these journeys, nothing. My first solo journey was from Beijing to Pingyao, the form you follow is that you give your ticket to the mistress off the carriage and she then gives you a credit card ... read more

so, we've actually been in three different places since my last entry, so i'll try to capture a bit of them all for you here..... back in langmusi, we got up early in the morning to see the monks and were unfortunately disappointed. there were no monks praying in the temple, and it was bloody cold. however, it was nice walking through the town with nobody else up and about, especially considering that we seem to have a trail of german tour buses following us at the moment (from xiahe to langmusi, and then the next day we would see them in songpan, too). we climbed up the hill instead and watched the sun rise (well, the sky got light. there was too much cloud to actually see any kind of sun), and then had some ... read more
