Dinner

Shopping + Sichuan Opera (Fu Rong Guo Cui)

It was a fun-filled and tiring day; being able to see the panda the second time was great! They were all very cute but dirty at the same time; they were lazing around throughout the time when we were visiting them, I guess they were tired. After Panda, the lunch that was provided was very sumptuous and there were a lot of their delicacies being served as individual portions of up to 10 bowls each.

We rushed over to Du Fu Lin Tang and Wu Hou Ci to check out their memorial places for their olden days heroic characters. I was feeling extremely bored while listening to what the guide has to say, I am not a person who love history thus I ended up roaming around capturing beautiful moments of the group and the place. Jin Li was a shopping street where it was set in a very traditional Chinese cultural setting. There were many things that we do not see back in Singapore which included their foods, handcrafts and their talent shows.

After dinner was the opera show which I chose over shopping in the city, I thought it would be a waste to not get an eye opener experience since I am already in Sichuan. The show was not exactly fantastic due to some unprofessionalism but I have to give them my due respect as they trained so hard for it. “10 years of training, 10 minutes of performance”.
