Went to a few touristic places while I am at Chengdu. The travelling time in China is really long. Unlike South East Asia, travelling in one province in China is like travelling the whole of Vietnam. Went to see the Leshan Buddha and a few other places. Tourists abound. However, my focus is not in Chengdu. My final destination is in Tibet, the sacred lands. I have heard so much about it that I want to take a look. Went to check out about the train tickets but there was a long queue and the people there have been queuing for one night already. Further checking demoralised me as I found out that the train to Lhasa, Tibet is one of the hardest ticket to buy and that there are a lot of people profiting from the sales so they are buying many tickets at one go and reselling them at a higher price. Having no choice, I went to the locals and asked for a black market ticket going at 20% more than the normal price and finally got myself a place in the train to Tibet.
