Due to holidays (and my trip to Mt. Qing Cheng), the news are little late. Well better late than never, here's some new Chengdu articles from off the net. This article from Mercury News declares that: Amid the bustle, it's not hard to relax in Chengdu, well describing living in Chengdu and what to see while visiting here. Today (31st July) was actually the Chinese Valentine's day, according to the Chinese Calendar that is. Still celebrated by the Chinese, it's nowhere as popular as the western event at 14th February. Historical details here. Seattle Times has an well written story about the new train to Tibet, with important facts if you decide to take the train up to Tibet. Note that most of the tickets from Chengdu are already sold out up to September, with random seats still left. Also Contra Costa Times has another article about the Sky Train. And from the same website, an indepth story about the Emei mountain, good reading. You should also check the official FAQ about the train before going, with ticket booking numbers and prices for each starting station. Okay, that's it for this week, I'll add that updates are a bit slow during my summer break, with traveling around and the sauna-weather of 40°C daytime highs are making people even lazier and more relaxed than usual...
