More China

Hongyadong is a touristy area on the river. We found an Irish pub there owned by a couple of American guys and spent and spent several interesting nights there eating dinner. This was during their annual Halloween party.

A couple of the cruise ships on the Jailing River near where it meets the Yangtze River, which flows through Chongqing then all the way to the East China Sea.




Hongyadong from the river level. Chongqing is a hilly city. Hongyadong is built into the side of a hill, you enter at the river level, it's 10 stories tall and you can exit the top floor onto a street at the top of the hill.

One weekend we took the high speed train from Chongqing to Chengdu to visit the Panda breeding and research center. It was basically a zoo just for Pandas.


Twin cubs named MengDa and XingXio (no, I couldn't tell them apart). They were about 2 months old and slept the whole time we were there.




This is actually a Panda, it's called a Red Panda.
