@Amazingsichuan Looks like a fairyland 😍

The spectacular Houlong #Mountain in Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture is now blanketed in breathtaking white snow. Viewed from above, the mountain resembles a majestic silver dragon, winding and imposing, silently guarding the peaceful Lugu Lake.

@Amazingsichuan She is so showy 🥰

Let’s watch Hua Hua’s eating show!

@Amazingsichuan So cute 🥰

Red #pandas are cat-like yet with plump and round bodies. They have dense reddish-brown fur on their bodies, white-lined fur around their eyes, cheeks, and mouths, and white whiskers. Red pandas go out for food during dawn and dust and rest in rocky or tree holes in the daytime.

@xuetingni Happy birthday 🎉

Confucius says, 40s is the age when one is no longer confused. At the age of 42, I do feel a little wiser about Life. I have also learned that there is so much more to discover of The Universe and Everything. In Chinese, it's 生命，宇宙以及一切 shēngmìng, yuzhòu yijí yíqiè #scifi

@Amazingsichuan Such an imposing artifact 😊

As one of the #capitals of the ancient Shu Kingdom, the Sanxingdui site holds #various towering Sanxingdui bronze artifacts. Notably, the #bronze sacred tree, depicting the legendary image of Fusang from ancient myths, stands as a remarkable highlight.(photo by:Sonja)

@Amazingsichuan Beautiful 😍

#Shu embroidery is a traditional #Chinese technique that uses #silk thread to embroider patterns on silk or other #fabrics. As one of the Four Famous Embroideries of China, Shu embroidery stands out for# exquisite palettes of bright colors and intricate stitches.(photo by:小菡几)

Nice article @SixthTone on the global journey of Chinese web #novels. Though international users seem mostly younger generations, Chinese writers have been creating on these platforms since the late 1990s, some of whom are part of my new #SFF anthology. sixthtone.com/news/1013786

Nights in #Sichuan also offer a variety of #entertainment: you can stroll through bustling #streets to explore the sleepless city, enjoy a #night cruise on a boat when the #beautiful lights are reflected on the water, and try night hiking under the starry sky.

I currently have two translated and completed Chinese SFF stories, one SF and one fantasy, plus another translated sci-fi near completion. If anyone is interested in publishing these, drop me a DM! #InternationalTranslationDay 9/9

Finally I was able to curate, translate my own anthology of Chinese #scifi. Sinopticon was a milestone in my long-term goal of bringing Chinese #SFF to Anglophone spheres. The ebook's on sale right now until Monday! You can buy it here. #TranslationDay 6/ rebellionpublishing.com/product/sinopt…

Since last year, I've been delighted to curate, translate, edit another anthology @Solarisbooks, bringing you more Chinese #SFF in 2024, including web fiction, this time in the #horror genre, with 14 brilliant contributors 8/ #InternationalTranslationDay rebellionpublishing.com/meet-the-contr…

My sister made it to Shanghai today! First time visiting 🇨🇳, I’m really excited to show her around the city!! (Though I’m not very excited about doing tourist stuff over golden week 😵‍💫😵‍💫)

The wind comes from Hangzhou, allowing us this time to remember Dongpo and look forwards the future. So let’s start our journey to #Meishan, the hometown of Su Dongpo and land of Abundance.

You ask me when I can return, but I don't know It rains in western hills and autumn pools overflow When can we trim by window side the candlelight And talk about the western hills in rainy night 君问归期未有期，巴山夜雨涨秋池。 何当共剪西窗烛，却话巴山夜雨时。

If you haven't read my book Sinopticon: A Celebration of Chinese #sciencefiction, winner of last year's Best Anthology at the #BritishFantasyAwards. Why not give it try. Here's a cool pic of it that came with this book blogger's new review. #books #scifi #anthology
