With the help of Justin, I recently visited an incredible new place in Chengdu for the first time: the Sanbodhi Tibetan Cultural Center. Located on Wuhou Dajie above an unassuming street-level entrance, this is a massive tea house and custom jewelry shop. When you step inside of this place, you will forget that you’re in China. Every detail of the place is perfectly attended to from the clean walls, hundreds of lit candles, and lofty ceilings to authentic artwork throughout.

Here are some photos from when I visited on Saturday just before dusk:
