Amazing west Sichuan – travel journal – day 10
Day 10 – Oct 25, Siguniang mountain – Yingxiu – Chengdu
Today was the last day of my 10 day tour to west Sichuan region, the only day without any special travel spots to visit, 8:40a.m we drove back from Siguniang mountain to Chengdum, 11:00a.m around passed by Wolong Panda Reserve, which had been closed since the earthquake 2008.
Road close to Yingxiu, the center area of the previous earthquake was still difficult, you could see the vestige of newly ladnslides everywhere, due to the time limit we didn’t get to visit the earthquake relic museum, which was a pity during the tour. We finally arrived in Chengdu at 16:30 in the afternoon.
