Chuanxi Safari (3) - Rilong now a ghost city?


Mt. Four Girls, with the highest peak at about 6200 meters high, is a popular place for amateur mountaineer to hike. A small town called Rilong is located just near the bottom of the mountain. It was a busy town . Now due to the big earthquake in 2008, the road from Chengdu to Rilong wad damaged and as a result, maybe 90% of the visitors were blocked from reaching Rilong.

The town was such a quite place now that restaurant owner even raised their chicken in the street.。
