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.

I recently had the amazing chance to visit the Great Mosque in Xi'an, China. It was genuinely an unforgettable cultural experience. Situated in the vibrant Muslim Quarter of Xi'an's downtown area, this mosque is among the oldest and largest in the country.
A highly soggy mountain and an extremely busy panda sanctuary.
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.

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