Says right in the second paragraph:
"These photos were taken near Heishui (黑水) in northwestern Sichuan's Aba prefecture"

For the first video it tells you whose video it is at second 12, the second video tells in the very second second. If you'd read that you'd realize they correspond with the band of the event just under the video.
It's not voodoo.

The Chunxi shop has already been closed, but they might offer the kebab in the Kehua one and eventually another stand at Jiuyanqiao. We'll see.

Forums > Living in Chengdu > 2012 Zebra Music Festival?
Xiongmao/Panda was the only improvement, good tent & sound. Nice jam & good gramaphonetics performance.
Transport situation seems worse than years before as the taxi drivers want to charge 100+ to go from the city (without meter, with meter the fare should be under 60, but they are reluctant to go by meter) and there are VERY few taxis back in the evening. Black taxis want 7/80/100+ kuai. That mobile bread box aka bus 198 and other lines stop operating 8/9 p.m. and are too small to hold more than 20 ppl! No official bike parking only cars. Unofficial "bike guards" only keep an eye on your bike till 8 p.m.
Some more quick observations: Tents are 120 a night up from 15 four years ago. The only beer on sale is budweiser. Security doesn't bother to check your bags. You can't leave the festival and re-enter with your ticket. Fewer (young) people, last act on the big stage like 9.30 p.m. Sky stage was dead most of the time.
Important note: Police there won't interfere AT ALL with any troubles/problems/fights so don't mess too much with the taxi drivers/ ticket mafia unless you don't mind 1:30 mob fights. (And yes there is a police station right there at the festival entrance with tons of police) Being laowai won't save your ass in Xindu.

Chengdu > Ito Yokado
伊藤洋华堂One star for this totally overpriced supermarket with a limited selection. The only good thing I can say about it is that the little baguette they sell is actually pretty edible.

Chengdu > Tutao Cun
土陶村餐厅I'd give it five for the food, ambience & the boss.
It's relatively cheap, good value, some creative dishes, but I hate that's so far away from the action in the south and outside toilet (why?).
Actually it's too good for most out there!

Chengdu > Jinsha Site Museum
金沙遗址博物馆It's ok to get a bit of an idea of what was going on 3000 years ago, however
if you have enough time, try Sanxingdui instead (more impressive, but less educational)

Chengdu > Mini Live
I might be too early to rate this new venue. But it could have the potential to become the new place for live music once the owners get their act together and set up big live shows on a regular basis. It's bigger than the little bar, but the sound so far has been horrible. I hope they work on the issue and bring in some acts to fill the space at least once a week.
