Day 6

Chengdu

14 May 2006

This morning on our drive to Chengdu, we visited a Qiang Village. The Qiang people are an ethnic group in China and mostly found in Szehuan Province. There are many Qiang villages along the route and they are open for tourists to view their  villages, houses and lifestyles.  Villagers sell souvenirs too.

Around the village

The Qiang people dress themselves in colourful and beautiful clothes; wear silver ornaments and embroidered shoes and girdles. They live in houses with very basic amenities.

Driving south to Chengdu, we drove over Miaoziping Bridge to cross the Minjiang (river).

In the evening, we watched Chinese cultural show. The highlight was “Face Change” performance. This is an ancient art that take actors years to master.
