Chengdu. I stumbled on this when searching for pandas, and found it to be a bleak, intimate look at scenes in the remote Sichuan province of south central China, adjacent to Tibet and away from the booming eastern districts that manufacture everything in your house. Yes, I found the pandas, but the other stuff was more compelling.
Lovely post, Roly. Teh pandas are teh squeeeeeeee!
And the other photos are very interesting and give a great feel for the country.
Amazing how beautiful the scenery is and yet how ugly the human enviornment.

The hostel is nice, and the roof decorations are fantastic.
Some amazing photos there. Interesting post, thanks rolypolyman.
I saw a panda in Guangzhou zoo. It was a zoo pretty much like those of us with big stupid eyes like cows had about 40 years ago.
Bonus -- also included drugged animals so you could pat them!
