Remark 2 of Chengdu trip: Tea House and Bamboo

Chengdu is the capital of Sichuan and now is crowned as Capital of leisure (休闲之都）。In ancient time, there was a chinese saying "Sichuan is not for youth (少不入川）"，which really means that life in Sichuan is too easy and too relaxing, which makes youth lose spirit of hard-working. This sounds like a paradise for retirees.
In sunny days, people here like sitting in the tea-house, playing majiang and chatting each other. Bamboo chairs here are kind of unique. A bamboo chair, a cup of tea and a shade of huangjiao tree just give you a real piece of peace. It is absolutely stress-free.

Remark 1 of Chengdu trip: City life

I have never seen so many people before I visited Chengdu. This character fits the capital of most densely populated province of the most populated nation in the world. People people everywhere.
But how to find your own peace in such a Mahattan-like city. Find your own central park. There are a lot of city parks around. A nice thing I have to mention is that, unlike Texas, trees here are huge so you get cool shade everywhere.

People morning-exercise in the park. Looks like they are well-trained.
