We will be going to the Panda Breeding Center in Chengdu in October. Hopefully all will be settled by then. We are also going to see the Leshan Buddha just outside of Chengdu.



So far, it seems to have survived. You can see all the people climbing on the left of the picture; we hope to do the same.

Tibet is closed to foreign tourists, they have drastically cut back on visas especially multi-visit visas, their restrictions on carryons are now more stringent than at Heathrow, and, of course, the earthquake in Sichuan.
