Despite the havoc caused by the quake we were unaffected. The overnight train ride was fun - snacks in one of the compartments then we got a pretty good night's sleep. We saw the Big Wild Goose Pagoda (where the monk who brought Buddhism to China from India transcribed the scriptures) and then took a bike ride on top of the city walls.
