Sharing some photos I took of West Sichuan. Hope you all like it.

This is Bipengguo (毕棚沟). I would be posting more photos as we go along. So, please follow this thread.

Actually, there are people. It is just that I went on a Monday which is a working day for people there in China. So, the crowd is manageable.

Both. But the roads going there...some are very tough to negotiate. Narrow too. One wrong move, and you could be down the cliff. But then again, there are buses doing fine there.

That sounds like my trip to 九寨沟 in 1997

Ah..a very nice enjoyable cafe to get away from the cold for a while.

And from Bipengguo, we went to Siguniang Mountai ns . The scenery there is quite stunning.

It was an interestinf experience cos I was confronted by these two yaks. And they didn't want to let me pass. After a 10 mins stand off, the leader of the pack decided to move away and let me pass.

I had a wonderful time in West Sichuan. The weather was excellent but some times too cold. I used Chengdu as a base for travelling to a few places. After a few hard days of travel, its time to sit back and relax in a cafe. And there are several good options in Chengdu. This is one of them I went to.
