The house is up for rental, are you interested? Well, if I were to be honest, it's more of a shack, without a proper roof or a main door. Still, the rental should be cheap?

We took this photo when we were visting the pandas - the bamboo forest is really serene and calming.
There's something about macro shots, especially when taking them in a forest. Can't wait to try taking more macro shots like this.
It's amazing to find such traditional paper craft in China - check out the skill, the colours, the wonderful toys that they've created from paper.
On our last day in Sichuan, our group dropped by Chengdu Research Base to see pandas! They're seriously adorable in real life, especially the babies. And there were lots, perhaps 80 pandas in the area?

| Yeah, I sleep hanging. Take that! |

Rocks. I mean, these are just rocks right?
Well, no, not really. They're the famous red stones. Peculiar red micro-organisms grow on these stones, and they're said to survive only in high altitude and colder climates. Thus, even if you try and bring a stone down the mountain, the micro-organisms would die, and you're left with, well, just a stone.
I like that Starbucks made an effort to blend into the neighbourhood at the "Wide and Narrow Street" in Chengdu, China. But I'm not sure if they're doing well, since tea is still much more popular, and that street had a number of tea parlours.
Forget your messy, noisy pubs in most parts of the world, and say hello to old-school chill-out mood at this pub in Moxi Town, Hailuogou. Well, not just this pub - most pubs in Moxi Town had the same feel, with wooden chairs and tables situated outside the pub (I presume for smoking).
And a translation for the Chinese text: "Celebrating our country's 70th anniversary of victory in war, we are offering a store-wide discount. If you're a Chinese man, 10% discount will be offered. If you're a Japanese, enter the store and we'll break your bones".
Clearly, overly patriotic.
Who wouldn't fall in love with a grumpy cat with cute markings? He (I think it's a he anyway) was lazing in the hot sun, enjoying the last few hours of the day. Now, don't mess with him yoz!
We have already shared photos of Jiuzhaigou earlier on, but still, we cannot help but be amazed at the sight of the various lakes in the park. We went in September, which means the weather is mild and comfortable. If you can, try going in early November, when autumn has set in, and the leaves are all turning red and gold.
We've heard that on a good day, the skies would be a gorgeous blue colour. Well, we got a gloomy day, but still, breathtaking beauty at Kang Ding's Mu Ge Luo Park.
Yes, Jiuzhaigou is a living fairytale. We learnt from the guide that people had originally logged from this entire park. So glad that people reported to the government the existence of these stunning pools, and it is now a protected park.
