Chengdu trip 2nd day( 6/12/09)

After watching the beautiful scenery in Juizaigou, we left the place by plane and headed back to Chengdu. We met up with our next tour guide, xiao ling. She is quite pretty, with very big eyes and curly hair. We proceeded to the Tianzhu museum, where they show-case some exotic tianzhu which is believed to bless the person wearing with luck and wealth. Well, i jus look see look see, didnt buy anything as i do not believe in such things.

After lunch, we bused to the hakka old town. 85% of the people here are hakkas. But, im not, im a teochew. It's pretty interesting to visit this town to see their culture. The town looks quite old but it is refurbish not too long ago. We walked and stroll along the streets, bought some interesting goodies. I bought some deep-fried yellow fish with sichuan peppercorns. OMG, the chilli oil were gosh! It was oily but was tastyyyyyyy! THE DEEP-fried fish were mixed with sichuan chilli oil & peppercorns, producing a numbness to my tongue and lips... (my lips almost resemble a hotdog). Besides deep-fried fish, they also sell prawns, small little crabs and cocoons! I didnt dare to try the cocoons, despite it having high protein content.
Tonight's hotel: Meishan hotel.

I didnt like the breakfast spread. They have quite a variety but i only like the stewed pumpkin and the beancurd shred. The rest were either too spicy or reek of strong vinegar. Well, i managed to try a little of other stuff. The chinese here love the congee and mantou.
