Welcome to Chongqing

We got off the riverboat from the Yangtze river cruise in Chongqing. We went and visited a local market, that exist on the first floor of almost all the apartment buildings in the city.  

Then we went to the City Zoo where they have an entire Panda Preserve.  That was really something special to see.

From there we went to the airport to fly to Xi’an for the Terracotta soldiers.
