Big Buddha's head!
by sugarpuff
Well yes,this guy is HUGE! And I took the most sought after photo without having to pay a silly amount for a tourist photographer to take it of me! On the other side is where they queue up for the ultimate photo,pushing past people, fights occurring and words being thrown across the tops of people's heads!Quite an experience- I was part of the first bit...and very nearly went through the next two processes too! Chinese people can be very pushy and shovey when they want something! Anyway, I got my photo in the end!
Qinyang Gong Taoist temple
by bellatrix
I would recommend a visit to Qinyang Gong, a Taoist temple, to walk around and admire the beautiful and colorful temples. Have some delicious tea and eat at the teahouse. Drinking tea seems to be Chengdu's favorite pasttime! Every temple or park has a teahouse, where people sit around in bamboo chairs, drink jasmine or green tea, and chat or play mah-jong. I would imagine that there are groups of friends who meet up every afternoon to while away the day!

Spent a day in Chengdu before heading to Tibet on the next morning. I was quite surprised to find that Chengdu is such a modern city. In particular the shopping district at ChunXiLu.
