Day 2 in Chengdu – Part II
After the Panda Base visit last Saturday, we took a cab to Jinjiaba Street, hoping to have another lunch at the halal outlet we discovered just the day before.
Unfortunately, the eatery had just closed (after concluding their lunch time). So we walked towards the main square, en route back to our hotel. Luckily we had the “pancake” earlier, so it should last us for quite a while.
At the main square, there were a lot of people! I guess they came out to enjoy the open space (with respect to their cramp apartments.
Beautiful dancing fountains:

Taking another different route back, we camde across more statues in the mall:

Even the locals enjoy taking their photos with the modern colourful statues!
We had a lunch of rice (thanks to my rice cooker) and Brahim’s chicken curry and took some rest before we headed back to the main square!
The shopping mall was definitely well lit and in the mood for the Chinese New Year shopping:

Finding a spot to get my photo taken was quite a challenge:

There were still many people at the main square.
We came back to the hotel later that night, with me fully knackered and with a pair of aching legs
. Why do we have to do a lot of walking each time we go for a trip? Quoting the king in Cinderella, “I am not getting any younger…”
