December 21st - Chengdu to Mianyang - Travel to Friends & Hot Springs!
The 21st would mostly be a travel day.
A friend had invited us to their home city of Mianyang, where we would spend the night and before heading to the hot sprints.
We packed our things and prepared to say goodbye to Chengdu.
And so - we got our Taxi. It was a Chinese electric car, which felt very similar in shape and interior to the Jettas we had been riding in.
Once at the train station, you can't help but be a little impressed by the size of these pillars that reach into the ceilings.
Getting our tickets was a little confusing, but we eventually found the right lines. I didn't take a picture, but it looked like the kiosks ran on Windows 98 or 2000. :)
We left Chengdu and headed to Miayang on a bullet train.
We arrived and met our friend - Meyo. On the way to meet her in the parking lot, I spotted this:
That night we would have dinner, hotpot, together with Meyo's family, which was nice.
One surprise for us was that Meyo and her husband had paid for our hotel, which was not cheap.
