NEW FRIENDS OF T&C CLUB! Sim and Maki in Chengdu Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan Province, is the nicest city I have visited in China. And Sim’s Cozy Guest House is THE TOPS!!!!! Sim and his wife Maki can provide a home from home for you in China – an excellent first stop, especially for Brits as KLM now fly direct with v. reasonable fares. Sim’s will then organize all further travel for you, book tickets, book cars and guides, arrange for shared trips etc. Sim will advise you on how to do anything you want try out, from a Traditional Chinese doctor to Sichuan Opera. Another delightful place in Chengdu is The Bookworm, a high class bar/restaurant/library where you can sit and read, borrow books, and hear recitals and the occasional lecture in the evening. |
