China, 1 Apr 2007 --

My current guesthouse has free internet….but no heat.  I managed to upload a bunch of pictures today, at the cost of numb fingers.  Enjoy.

 Zhongdian, cool mountain town atmosphere:

The Yubeng Trek near Dequin that I raved about in my last post:

Tiger Leaping Gorge:

Lijiang-touristy, yet pleasantly photogenic:

By popular demand:  pandas!  Amazing to think that one of these guys caused so much commotion at the Washington, DC zoo and I saw 14 panda cubs in one place:

 

The Leshan Buddha, it’s quite large:

A few last shots of Chengdu:
