Former Residence of Comrade Deng Xiaoping

---

Hi All,
So whilst travelling to Jingyan we decided to stop of in GuangAn, which is in the south eastern corner of Sichuan. It's about a couple of hours by bus from ChongQing. The bus dropped us off in the middle of nowhere and we then flagged down a mini bus to take us the last part of the way. There are plenty of small hotels and restaurants gathered on the opposite side of the road to Deng's former home. Expect to pay between 60~80 rmb for a double room.
The site itself was very interesting, especially the museum, with most of the captions also in English. Deng Xiaoping was nothing if not a survivor. I still find it hard to believe that he managed to live through all the purges. His eldest son ended up in a wheelchair when he threw himself out of a high window to try and escape the torture that the Red Guards were subjecting him to in the Cultural revolution. As with most of these old guard Chinese politicians parts of history are not explained very well.

Travelling to Chengdu is really easy. A bus leaves from outside the main entrance to the park which goes directly to the high speed train station. This attraction could easily visited in a day from Chengdu.

Enjoy the photos

Jah Bless
