I don’t have to go so urgently now (as I just got so many different requests of help from my interviewees that I wish to stay here more solidly first to help address these needs), so this trip can be done at the end of August.
Plus, I also checked flight prices. Sept 1 Kanding to Chengdu – prices are reduced to around RMB 750 compared to almost RMB 1000 summer prices.
Proposed route: on way to – ChengDu to Ya An by bus on ideally a weekday morning. Overnight in Ya An and sight seeing a bit the next morning. Then bus from Ya An to Kanding around noon time. Arrive before Sunset. Returned from Kanding to Chengdu by plane.
Thanks for reading this update,
