Day 05 – Friends Arrival at Chengdu and Sichuan Opera
Woke up at 6am cold and hungry. I walked around until I found my kind of food. It cost 6.5RMB for 9 steamed dumplings. Chinese likes to take Xifan (porridge) with some small dishes for breakfast but it is a bit bland for my taste.
The Chengdu map provided by Sim’s Cozy was very informative and banks within its vicinity were listed. I went to a ICBC ATM machine with Mastercard and Visa logos and managed to withdraw money from my Standard Chartered debit card without any issues.
At 9am, I took bus 99 to Mingjiang Bingguan at Ren Min Nan Lu where I intend to switch to bus 303 to the airport. I followed a lady carrying a luggage across the road where the bus station was located. I paid 10 RMB and the bus left at 950am.
