Opinion: Huan Tian Zai
Reviews & Opinions
Huan Tian Zai is a Miao-minority cuisine restaurant, featuring Miao Jia Suan Tang Yu (苗家酸汤鱼) sour fish and Hua Jiang Gou Rou(花江狗肉) dog meat. I had the opportunity to enjoy their Suan Tang Yu already twice and I must confess it is one of the best fish dishes I've eaten in Chengdu.

Although not of Sichuan cuisine, it's origins being with the Miao people of Guizhou, this restaurant and their special fish is one of the more popular ones in Chengdu at the moment. Their special dishes are Sour Soup Fish and Hua River Dog Meat.

Tibet train ticket prices announced
Chengdu News
According to this article, the prices for the altiplano train to Tibet have been decided. Here are the prices from Chengdu, to remind you can take one of these trains from Beijing, Chongqing, Lanzhou and Xi'ning too. At least it's clearly cheaper than flying to Tibet, but since the new airport in Nyingchi will open soon, who knows if there might be some cheap offers coming.

For the 3,360-kilometer trip between Chengdu, provincial capital of southwest China's Chengdu province, and Lhasa, the hard seat price is 331 yuan (41.38 dollars), the hard sleeper price is 712 yuan (89 dollars), and the cost of a soft sleeper is 1,104 yuan (138 dollars).
