Jingli Street

After a never ending food hunt (Chengdu still wins no prizes for its food selection) we headed towards our old favourite 'jingli street.' This time we discovered a beautiful park next door that we hadn't found before. It was lovely to see some blossom trees. Jingli street was absolutely packed as it was the last day of the sweeping the tombs festival holiday. Trying to manoeuvre two buggies through the crowds was a challenge! I have to admire Isaac's stubbornness when moving through the crowds, hands over eyes shouting 'no photos!' Unfortunately for him, this makes him even more photo worthy to the many passerbys and his grumpy cross face is likely now adorning many a Chinese mantelpiece!

In the evening, we went to watch a sichuan medley performance in a tea house featuring the famous changing masks. Isaac was utterly engrossed. The relaxed tea house atmosphere definitely made a performance much more manageable with small children. Isaac then put on his own performance at a sichuan snacks stall, amazing everybody with how much he eats!
