Photos from different parts of Cheng Du and surrounding sites, including temples and what not. I just put them in one big pile. Actually, it's more about the people as opposed to city scape.
My thoughts: Very glad to see really ancient temples that survived the cultural revolution, but sad to see the rapid growth of the city wiping out traditional lifestyles. Even the preserved old streets are highly commercialized with high end restaurants and star bucks.
