Day 2 - Huanglongxi & Leshan

After check out, we continue our day 2 journey to Leshan, en route to Chengdu city south for our lunch. Here are some nice country side sceneries.





Some nice apartment around the Chengdu City, they fetch a nice price too at approx SGD1 million each for about 100m2 unit


This is the restaurant that we had our Sichuan lunch for that day


After lunch, we continue our journey to 乐山 Leshan, 2hrs+ journey. Midway through we will pass by an old town called Huanglongxi 黄龙溪. Here you go:
