Was in the Chengdu and Dujiangyan area for a few days recently. Lovely place, the scenery was stunning, especially the lakes at Jiuzhaigou. That water colour is unreal. I was snapping photos while listening to audio guide on my phone and of course my battery died halfway through. Had no idea how to rent a shared power bank but luckily some young local helped me grab one from a small shop nearby. Honestly bring a power bank in China. It's essential.

The one thing that caught me off guard was the blue tears at Dujiangyan. I'd gone in expecting natural glowing blue water, turns out it's just artificial lighting. Pretty, just not that. Apparently Fujian's coast has the real deal, naturally occurring bioluminescent blue tears. Think that'll be my excuse for a next trip.
