10/6 合川 钓鱼村🎣
It was lashing today. So we didn't spring up quite so early. We tried to get to the docks码头 to try and go on a trip to the 3 gorges 三峡 but as it was late, and there weren't really any day trips, to anywhere really apart from a river cruise 河游轮 (in the river which would suck) I quickly looked something up and we decided to go to a nearby fishing village called 合川 hechuan at the station （ticket wasn't even 20) we befriended Chinese children which gave us fruits and sweets as we got pics for their mothers. Upon arriving we discovered it had stopped raining and hopped on a bus part of the way before getting off and walking, finding a random bison 牛生物/野牛 tied grazing by the side of the road (as you do) very rural. Reminded me of thailand a bit. Was super chilled and quiet 镇静。there was barely anyone around we entered the entrance for the road into the village, strolling leisurely along the river path. 
we entered the actual area, it was like a small forest, we some weird (and as I discovered not very edible fruit - tasted like perfume) we didn't go too high up as you had to pay in, and it was going to get dark soon.. but it was nice and chilled.
We strolled back towards the center of the town. Finding a market with a hell lot of fresh chillies 辣椒🌶️ when you think of Sichuan you think chili and pandas haha.
We eventually hopped in a bus and got tickets for our return. Karin buying some local speciality snacks and chatting to the locals who told us foreigners rarely venture there. On the platform 火车台 we befriended another local who invited us to meet him tomorrow night before we leave for a tour of some of the local places. When we got near our hostel, we exited differently and upon our way back we came across a very small kitten alone in a doorframe. I picked him up, he was so tiny, heart strings pulled, we decided we must save him. Stopping at the shop, grabbing a box and some sausage we took him back to the hostel much to the surprise of the owners. 保护小动物,救助小猫。
