Fwd: China! Day 12 part a

Goodbye Xī'ān, hello Chengdu. We boarded a high speed train to take us to our new city and adventure. Love traveling by train! Chengdu is the 5th largest city in China coming in at over 16 million. That more than 2x's the size of New York City. It is the capital city of the Chinese province of Sichuan. The food dishes are even spicier. It is a 2-3 napkin meal.  😋 Home if the Panda Bear Sanctuary — tomorrow!  Tonight about half of the group opted to go to the Face Changing Performance. Our guides treated us with a special surprise (depends on how you look at it....), dressing us up in costumes as you can see above. Thrilled with the head wear...  The performance is basically a tragic love story, acrobatics, fire breathing and, of course, the truly amazing performing of the mask/face changing that happens right in front of your face. More pics in next entry.
