Our friend Lyncy hooked us up with a free tour with Chengdu Daily, a local newspaper. On this excursion we went to a park that was about an hour bus ride from the area where we live. A bus was chartered, tour guides were provided, and free tickets for everything were given to us. They also provided lunch. We met people from all over the world, Brussels, Sweden, New Zealand, Australia, Belgium, America, and South Africa. Supposedly, Chengdu Daily likes to advertise and write about all the foreign people in Chengdu. They took lots of pictures and ask us lots of questions. Now, we're on their mailing list so we'll probably get opportunities to travel with them again. It's a win, win, because we get treated nicely and they get to advertise us and the sites in Chengdu.
