Among the cornerstones of Chengdu's night-time economy, museums, foods, B&Bs, Sichuan Opera shows, cultural performances and cruising on Jinjiang River at night became highlights during the holiday.

My National Holiday Trip with Local Friends

We were able to have a rest thanks to Chinese National Day, which is celebrated on October 1 to commemorate the founding of the People’s Republic of China. On that day, lots of large-scale activities are held nationwide. Obviously, we were not going to miss the opportunity to travel, so we visited two well-known places in Sichuan: Bipenggou Mountain and the Leshan Giant Buddha.
