It was one of awesome trip my life with wonderful peoples and super cool and friendly laoshi. First day of our trip we spend in train and evening on the bridge of Yangtze River, just perfect day.

Day 2, punishment become fun

Rule no.1 by our Laoshi, if you’ll late for bus you have to sing a song. We have visited dazu rock cravings, in 1991 it was listed as world cultural heritage by UNESCO. It's an eight-hundred-year-old art gallery, and the carvings describes the Buddha instructions of behavior in daily life. As I am Hindu, according to Hindu holy books Bhagwan Budh is one of avtar of Bhagwan Vishnu so most of stories and sculpture was quite familiar for me. After a long time, I was feeling like home and in temple, makes me very happy, and can’t explain my happiness in word. Rest of the day we spend in hongyadong, it has very special construction feature which is built on hillside and on riverside, with one side of house resting on rocks while the other sides supported by wooden or bamboo poles. And it was time for Yangtze River cableway, special part was waiting in queue for more than two hrs. Yes more than two hours for five minutes in cable car to see the beautiful scenario of this beautiful blue light city with sky kissing buildings, very enjoyable.

Day 3: In the history of Tongji University

It was really nice to introduce the history of institution, where we really belong, the journey of Tongji University is a full of struggle, sacrifice, the passion for success and determination and supports of all villagers for this institution in such condition when japan attack on China. It set an example of inspiration towards the education for new generation. In Lizhuang middle school we have a great time with students, it was time to recall memory of our school life, the time we spend with students during presentation and game.It was best time of this trip. And for another hippest time on this trip “visiting Lizhuang village”. A village on the bank of river, relax and happy face, life free from rush. I am also a village boy after long time got some time to spend in village and enjoyed a lot.

Day 4: A meeting with sleeping BUDHA

The Leshan Giant buddha is the largest budha in China, towering to 71 m, with 14.7 m head, 24 m Shoulders, ears 6.72 m long. But the story behind the construction of the giant buddha and the sacrifice of buddhist monk Haitong is really heart touching.

Now we are traveling for chengdu city to meet panda, but this evening at first, we went to watch sichuan’s traditional opera, it was very special. Each and every performance was very magnificent.

Day 5: Panda

Today morning everyone was on time, so no more songs, this happens because of the magic of panda, we were so excited to say hello to panda, a cute panda, a lovely panda, a lazy panda. So many names and so much love for dear panda.

The awesome trip end at Dujiang Dam, the dujiagyan Dam 45 km north of Chengdu, is an ancient technological wonder of the country. The dam is also famous for Love Bridge, a lot of couple go there to make a wish.

Next day we all back to shanghai, in our busy life, with a golden of memories. Five days ago we didn’t even know some people in our group but in this five days they all become a part of life.
