On saturday 9th of june, I went to the zoo of Beauval to live the day at the rate of the town of Chengdu. Capital of the province of Sichuan, Chengdu is located in the south west of China.
Chengdu, between tradition and modernity, is the only town which did'nt change of name since 2000 years. The Times of february 2007 gave it the name of " China of China"
During this day, I had the opportunity to see an exhibition of photos, artistic shows ( dances, songs, theatre, acrobatics, shows of masks) with a great pleasure. it was a first approach in the heart of the Sichuan province which also is the natural habitat of the giant panda. I brought you some photos and films that I let you discover below.
