A Tang Dynasty tomb.
武侯祠 aka Warlord temple entrance. This place worshiping the San Guo eras heroes such as Liu Bei, Guan Yi, Zhang Fei, Zhu Ge Liang etc.
A pond inside the temple
One of the many temple
A replica of the Tao garden where the trios sworn their brotherhood
A replica of Zu Ge Liang hut
These are silos that stored grain
Zu Ge Liang chariot replica
Walking towards Liu Bei Tomb, behind this wall is his actual burried place
The frontal of the Lie Bei temple
Some cartoon replicas of the San Guo heroes, these are lantern actually and they will look good if lighted up at night
Our final program, foot massage and hard selling of chinese medicine, their modulus operandi are similar, the price of the items are heavily inflated, so caveat empto...buyer beware!!
And finally at Chengdu airport, we were late so the scene was a bit chaos. Some members got bump off due to plane overbook. So this is the only sour note to our otherwise enjoyable trip.

Day 9 - Chengdu
We visted the Panda breeding farm, here we can see real panda within meter far.
Unfortunately the weather was unkind, so it was a splash and dash kind of visit
Next stop, local flower market where you can buy all sorts of plant here
Our next stop, silk factory, this is silk extraction machine. Again you can buy nice silk products towards the end of the tour unfortunately I don't have much pictures to show this time
A shot from Chun Xi road, the main shopping street of Chengdu. You can see some of our female tour mates are so motivated
