A Trip to Chengdu
A brief getaway after starting my working life, documenting Chengdu's streets and alleys, food, and Mount Qingcheng.
A Trip After Starting My Working Life—Chengdu Travel Diary—1 As far as I can remember, I don't think I've gone away to unwind since I started working. Honestly, after graduating and moving to Beijing, life has felt really fast-paced. Most days it's just back and forth between home and work. I really miss the sky at school, which looked different every day. Standing by the river, it was just so beautiful! Of course, the school pond (it wasn't very big, but let's call it that for now) had plenty of fish too. Speaking of 🐟, I could still… 
A First Look at Chengdu—Chengdu Travelogue—2 After arriving in Chengdu, for various reasons I ended up wandering around Jinli by myself that afternoon. It felt a bit on the commercial side to me.

Our Chengdu trip had reached its last day, and we headed to Mount Qingcheng as planned—the one from “Bai Suzhen at the foot of Mount Qingcheng.” But if we actually ran into “Bai Suzhen,” we'd still be a little scar… 
Chengdu Travel Journal—5 (Final Installment) I stayed up late last night watching 2023 Apple WWDC. Maybe I was just too sleepy, but the iOS, iPadOS, and macOS updates at the start didn't feel as hardcore as last year's. To me, they seemed more focused on UI interactions. Plus, I hadn't seen the M3 chip I'd been hoping for, so halfway through I just…
