Pingle

 Pingle, an ancient village 2 hours by bus outside of Chengdu. The kids didn't come with me, they went shopping in Downtown Chengdu. I took the bus by myself.
 The thousand year old Bunyan tree.
 A river runs through it and there are bridges that connect the two banks. There were lots of local visitors milling around.

 These are the fishes that eat your dead skin and supposedly will slough off the dead skin on you legs and feet. I didn't try it but they were everywhere.
 Have you read of the story of a Chinese man who immersed his lower torso into the fishes and one of them swam up his penis? He had to be operated on to get the fish out which by this time was dead.
 Chinese women likes to play dress up for pictures.
Supposedly you buy a red ribbon with your wishes and hang them here so that the wish will come true.
