Later, we experience traditional Sichuan Opera, including the famous face-changing performances.
We also get dressed up for the experience, before heading out in the evening for dinner and some shopping — where Holly picks up some Jellycats and Sonny Angels.
This was a really fun day experiencing both traditional culture and modern Chengdu.
Stay tuned for more daily vlogs from our China Adventure.
