Open side of the double sided sign. The cedar fence board is from my own fence - we recycled the whole thing by cutting down the boards to make a shorter fence, and the left over pieces for signs and other crafts.

I’ll be starting a series of spring day trips around Chengdu. The first of these is here to the ancient town of Huanglongxi (on Monday, March 7, 2016). Most sites I’ve seen say that the city is 1700 years old. Travel China Guide, however, says its history is “more than 1700 years” and immediately says “Huanglongxi can be dated back to the Western Han (206 BC – 24 AD).” Now, I may not be a genius, but if math serves correctly, 206 + 2016 is close to five centuries older than the 1700 that is advertised. (Travel China Guide also says Huanglongxi is 30 km from Chengdu; Wikipedia says 50 km/30 miles. My personal feeling is that Wikipedia is right, based on the fact that it took over an hour to get to it and only partially through congested city traffic.) So, I took a bus ride down to Shuangliu district southeast of town to spend a few hours wandering around and shooting.

 

It was a pretty cloudy day, which tampered the shooting a bit, but it was still an enjoyable four hours. I could have stayed longer, and thought a few times that this would be a good place to spend a night sometime, just to shoot in the evening.

 

I still may do that someday as it’s so accessible. The buses from Chengdu leave starting around seven in the morning (from Xinnanmen) and the last bus back to town is around six in the evening. Day trips are incredibly easy to do, and I think there are a few options for places to stay in the town, so that’s easy to do.

 

At the town, there are lots of lanes and alleys that turn every which way. There is also a main square (Longtan Square), some water wheels, and a few temples (Gulong Temple, Zhenjiang Temple, Chaoyin Temple) on the main street, along with wharves, two main gates (east and west), and countless shops and restaurants.

 

I’m glad to say that Huanglongxi is a very pleasant diversion from Chengdu and gives great variety to the options of things we have to do here.

 

If you have any questions or comments regarding any images you see, please feel free to leave them and I’ll try to answer as soon as I can.

Can anyone recall what the judge's comments were (as I was unable to be there!). But in any case, any comments and advice would be appreciated... I converted this from colour, and thought it improved it... I will provide the original tomorrow.

Cada imagen refleja la intensidad del tatami, la concentración antes del combate, la energía del público y la superación personal de cada atleta. Más que un campeonato, este evento representa una comunidad unida por los valores de disciplina, constancia y crecimiento continuo.

 

Gracias a todos los competidores, entrenadores, árbitros y familias que hicieron posible esta edición 2026. Nos vemos en el próximo tatami.
