Chengdu -- pandas, Sichuan opera, fiery cuisine

Flight attendants at Beijing Airport. Chengdu is about a 3-hour flight southwest from Beijing. It's the capital of Sichuan Province, famous for its fiery cuisine, and home to about 100 of China's pandas.
Our first evening in Chengdu we headed straight for the teahouse at Culture Park. Every night there's a performance that includes Sichuan opera, acrobatics, comedy routines, puppets, and face changing ("bian Lian" a much loved part of Sichuan opera). Jasmine tea and snacks are included in the ticket price, ear cleaning costs extra.

Above 2 photos: getting ready for the night's performance.
