Silk Weaving Museum and Six Dynasties Museum - No Specific Location

      23.11.2024 - 24.11.2024

      This weekend, I was still feeling unwell and had an upset stomach, so I only visited a couple of rather dull museums. One featured a major exhibition on the Qipao, the famous Chinese dress that you likely know about. The Six Dynasties Museum appeared to be privately owned, as its artifacts and overall design were of much higher quality than any other museums I've encountered lately.

China In-Depth: Huanglongxi - Emerging Adventurers

One thing that surprised me about Chengdu was how similar it felt to Beijing and other major Chinese cities we had explored. While we experienced some interesting nightlife spots, the city overall seemed quite generic. I initially thought this might be due to my limited Western viewpoint, but Mei Ling concurred that Chengdu didn't truly embody Sichuanese culture. We resolved to venture beyond the city borders during our remaining days in Chengdu.

Guanyin Grotto and Purple Mountain Observatory - No Specific Address

Along the Yangtze River, there are several caves featuring Guanyin, but since most of them are inaccessible, I simply walked along the cliff.

A few visits to Hangzhou - No Permanent Location

A few weeks back, I visited Hangzhou for a job fair. Although I didn't secure a job, I met a Chinese guy named Min Jie. We spent some time together in the West Lake area, which was enjoyable, but I doubt we'll be traveling together again anytime soon.

Chongqing during the Chinese New Year - No Permanent Residence

I was initially planning to stay in Nanjing and gain some weight, but I figured I should take advantage of my five days off. Since no one would help me transport my belongings to my new school until after the holiday, I decided to book a train to Chongqing. Then, in a stroke of brilliance, I thought I should probably arrange my return train to Nanjing. The management wants to send my things on February 5, but can you believe every train is fully booked for that day? So, I ended up booking a train for February 7, arriving in Nanjing on February 8. If they have an issue with it, they can just deal with it, I suppose. This meant I had to hurry and pack everything since I had no idea what the cleaning crew would do on February 5. I informed my boss that the bags were packed in my room, except for some laundry I did on the day I left (another mistake). I still haven't heard back from her about that.
