RE: drinkable water, what sort of information do you have that Chengdu tap water isn’t safe to drink?
Aside from all Chinese people saying “Do not drink the tap water”, I’ve received several text messages from China Unicom saying things like “Due to a chemical plant nearby, you shouldn’t drink the water”. There are news reports about it online, like this: Water Supply Resumes After Pollution Removed in Chengdu.
“Tap water supply to parts of Chengdu was turned off for hours after Songmu River, which is a source of the city’s drinking water, was found polluted by garbage Friday noon.”
