Off to Chongqing

After a weekend of relatively unscheduled time in Chengdu, on July 4 the group will take a bus to the city Chongqing  (see video here ), a distance of about 340 kilometers. We hope the bus is air-conditioned, as it is hot in the area right now! Chongquing is at the confluence of the Jialing and Yangtze rivers.
 On their way, they will be able to stop and tour the Dazu Rock Carvings, a UNESCO Heritage site with caves and cliffs elaborately carved and painted.



After dinner, the group will go to Eling Park for a night view of the megalopolis. Videographer David Goorney has a series of spectacular HD videos from all over Asia, and his night-time photograph of Chonqing is spectacular:
