Monkeys!!! Real, wild, mischievous monkeys! We saw them close up, only a couple of meters away! Of course, none of the (Chinese) tourists gave a damn about the "do not feed" signs, and some of the monkeys got very pissed at a fat boy trying to tease them by throwing stuff at them (we were quite tempted to throw the fat kid himself). 
And that's all there is exciting to say about Xichang.
It's next to Qionghai Lake (a night train ride south of Chengdu), which could be nice if it wasn't entirely gentrified and over-crowded with tourists and kitschy boats. The first time we had trouble finding a hotel - everything nice seemed booked out. 
Glad to get out of here and on to Yunnan, even if it means another 8 hour bus ride.
