Rhonda's First Post on Our Blog - Friday Adventure with the Carriers


The Wide and Narrow Lanes which dates back to the Qing Dynasty (1616 AD-1912 AD), is the epitome of the old life of Chengdu but this signage seems truly out of place!



Who would have ever guessed, ear irrigating would be such a popular activity at these major tourist sites such as Jinli Street or The Narrow and Wide Alleys.


Bridal pictures in one of the Narrow Alleys.  Beautiful Chinese couple dressed in traditional clothing.  








Local Sugar Figure Craftsman - a tiny sucker becomes an intricate, delicate, glass-like creation.

Look no stool.  He squatted for hours as he sketched his models.


If you enjoy people watching then this is quite a feast for your eyes! The Carriers and I joined in the dancing and enjoyed the huge variety of Senior Citizen talent venues.  The stage areas were side by and side and the competition for attention was overwhelming.  The Chinese people are very welcoming and inviting and enjoyed our loud applause.


Singing, dancing, harmonica playing, choirs, 
marching bands and orchestras.
