Mike's parents were visiting us for the last time in China, and as this is their third trip, and had not been outside Shanghai, and we were on holidays from school, we decided that we needed a trip away. Top of their list was the Great Wall, but we had just been to Beijing in January with my parents, so we asked the kids what they would like to see in China, and both of them suggested the pandas... Now technically Jie Jie had been to Sichuan before, but she was only 20 months old, so we revisited our first adventure in Shanghai and returned to Chengdu. The pandas were gorgeous, and on our second full day we had a car take us out to see this enormous Buddha. We went out on a speedboat to see the Buddha from the river, and then climbed to the top. This Buddha is 74m tall, and his ear is 9m long. You can get an idea of just how big he is, but looking at the people on his right hand side!
