Day 9, 08 June 2012 Li Jiang to Xicang

Today total distance travelled 480km

Our initial schedule was to put up a night in the industrial town of Panzhihua but decided to stretch ourselves to reach the Xicang instead. We want to avoid the dirty air of Panzhihua and have a quiet evening in Xicang.

The road to Xicang was great and relatively easy driving. It took us about 04hours to reach Panzhihua and we can see the differences in air quality even about 50km before we reach the town. Panzhihua is a coal town and everything around her is covered with black coal dust.

We heads the national highway of number 5 from Panzhihua to Xicang.

Once we reached Xicang, our guide Mr Yang brought us to a very special Muslim Sichuan restaurant for a hearty dinner.

The sunset view around the Xicang Qionghai lake is calm and peaceful and there are full of tourist where people from nearby city wishes to break away hectic city life in exchange for a quiet weekend in Xicang.
