CHENGDU IS THE CAPITAL OF SICHUAN PROVENCE. BECAUSE OF IT'S RICH FERTILE LAND, IT IS KNOWN AS "THE STORE HOUSE OF HEAVEN."
I WENT TO CHINA FOR THE FIRST TIME IN NOVEMBER,2007. I MADE A FRIENDSHIP WITH A WONDERFUL CHINESE LADY ONLINE AND SHE INVITED ME TO SEE HER IN CHENGDU WHERE SHE LIVES. FOR THOSE OF YOU UNFAMILIAR WITH THE GEOGRAPHY OF CHINA, CHENGDU LIES IN THE CENTRAL REGION OF CHINA. IT HAS A MODERATE CLIMATE ALL YEAR ROUND. I SPENT 6 DAYS WITH MY FRIEND THERE. CHENGDU IS HOME OF THE PANDA BASE- THE LARGEST COLLECTON OF PANDA BEARS IN THE WORLD. WE VISITED THE PANDA BASE THERE, WE HAD A WONDERFUL TIME. THE PANDA IS CONSIDERED A NATIONAL TREASURE IN CHINA AND DESERVEDLY SO. I SAW MANY FASCINATING PLACES IN CHENGDU. MY LADY AND I HAD A GREAT TIME TOGETHER. SHE MADE A DELICIOUS CHINESE DINNER FOR ME AND HER FAMILY AT HER HOME. I TREASURE THAT IMMENSELY. ALTHOUGH I HAVE NEVER RETURNED TO CHENGDU, ME AND MY FRIEND CHANG YU KEEP IN TOUCH REGULARLY BY E-MAIL. MY MEMORIES OF CHENGDU WILL LAST A LIFETIME. I AM VERY GLAD I WENT THERE. A TRAVEL TIP- I LIVE IN NEW YORK, IF YOU WANT TO GO TO CHENGDU FROM HERE I WOULD STRONGLY RECOMMEND USING AIR CHINA AS YOUR AIRLINE. THE FARES ARE VERY REASONABLE AND THE TRAVEL TIME IS NOT THAT LONG.YOU SIMPLY FLY FROM NEW YORK TO BEIJING NON-STOP THEN CHANGE PLANES FOR THE 2 HOUR FLIGHT TO CHENGDU
