What is Chengdu like?

Chengdu is very comfortable. Walking birds, drinking tea and chatting in heming Teahouse; Have a cup of coffee in Fang's bookstore and read books all afternoon; Eat skewers and drink the Arctic Ocean by the roadside; On the 29th floor, BB turned off the lights and watched the bright lights and the take-off and landing of the plane. This is a comfortable Chengdu.

Chengdu is very lively Wake up at four o'clock in the morning, open the curtains and look at the world outside the window on the 29th floor. I can't say that the light is on, but one third of it is on. In the stairwell of Yemao Building, I met my little sister who just joined the company. She wiped her tears and called a customer. There is no difference between Chengdu subway and Guangzhou subway in the morning. This is a busy Chengdu.

Chengdu is a place that you will never get tired of when you come. There are the best food in China, the most comfortable pace of life in China, the most precious round in China, Taikooli, which is at the forefront of the trend, and Guanyin Pavilion, which still lives in the 1980s. There is always a moment that reminds you of Chengdu, and you miss it again and again.

If you have more time, you can try to go around, such as Leshan. The beef and cold pot skewers that are popular all over the country come from Leshan. Besides, Leshan is simply a gourmet capital, and you can't eat enough for three days and three nights. Many people in Chengdu will drive for two hours on weekends, especially to Leshan for half a day, and then go back.

Zhenjiang Buddha, where the three rivers meet, must also be visited. After half a year's restoration, the skin of the giant Buddha is like the skin of a beauty camera, which recedes the moss of history and is contaminated with some secular fireworks. Maybe you haven't seen the situation of dominating the world in those days, but you must have heard the story that mountains are buddhas and buddhas are mountains.

Meitu preview

Day 1 Leshan gourmet tour

Itinerary: Haihuiyuan Old Roast Shop-Yebobo Chicken-Yilaosan Beef-Travel Notes Pork Intestines-Leshan Giant Buddha

After staying in Leshan for two nights, the hotel gave me a food map, which is a food shop where locals and tourists have to punch in. So, according to the food store on the map, I selected several special foods to punch in.

There is a market in Leshan early in the morning. Leshan was not recorded in the morning because I was hungry. I can only describe it in words. On my way to find food, I will pass by two ordering markets, one large and one small. The vegetable market is the place that best reflects local life.

Hai hui yuan Lao steamed dumplings

Per capita: 10 yuan

A la carte: steamed dumplings, kelp chicken soup, steamed dumplings with pot stickers.

Address: No.0/20, East Street, Shizhong District.

Age: 10 years old. According to the innkeeper, this shop has been open in Leshan for a long time, and many old Leshan people like to go to their home to eat and sell. Because it was a working day, I got up late. When I went to the store, it was past the breakfast rush hour, but seeing the bags and goods sold in the store and the inventory, it was definitely not bad compared with the business at noon and evening. Three aunts wrapped it together. In less than a minute, they sold it in a cage, watched me take pictures, and joked with me about whether it looked like Snow Lotus.

Steamed dumplings with pickled peppers are delicious. The fresh flavor of roasted pepper is forced by pepper, and it is full of fresh flavor after the entrance. With a bowl of warm chicken soup, I ate beef and mutton in Gansu for more than ten days, but I couldn't drink the soup and immediately came to life. Or the soup breeder in the south ~ ~ The chicken flavor of seaweed soup is not particularly strong, but it is precisely because of this that it highlights the sweetness of kelp and is worth recommending. I saw the uncle at the next table asking for a cage of fried dumplings, which looked good. I specially packed a cage of fried dumplings before going to Chengdu in the evening. It's delicious, but the disadvantage is that you have to eat it in a cage. One person may not be able to finish it.

Who would have thought that such a breakfast would be less than 10 yuan. It's a conscience to admire the price of Leshan from breakfast.

Good bags are sold like this, neatly stacked in drawers, waiting for the pot to steam. The same orderly assembly line is also one of the reasons why old stores retain old customers. Everything is transparent. You are what you eat.

Ye Yuyan's Begging Chicken

Per capita: 35 yuan

Must order: rattan or pepper pot, chicken soup and rice, glutinous rice balls.

Address: No.41Leshan Gang East Street, Shanghe Street

Tip: Ye Jia has a restaurant and packaged food, which is next door. The canteen environment is great, air-conditioned, and the storefront is particularly clean and hygienic.

Eat skewers in Leshan and Chengdu, don't throw them around. You depend on them when you leave. You count each string by a few cents, thinking that you will sign them one by one when you check out. As a result, when people weigh them, they immediately calculate the price. It's really amazing.

What I want is a fragrant pot. As a native of Guangxi, this pot is not spicy at all, because it may be cold and tastes super good. When taking food, my little brother always says, take as much as you want, and don't have eyes bigger than your mouth ~ because a person is very restrained in eating and only takes what he particularly likes.

Looking at a big pot of rattan pepper in the next seat, I was embarrassed to ask if I could take a picture to cheat, hahaha, so I took the next one. Rattan pepper looks good, too, but there are many peppers.

Chicken soup is a bit like instant rice cooked overnight at home. Warm stomach, the feeling of home, with a little chicken, delicious and light, especially with cold pot skewers, it is still boring.

Yilaoba qiaojiao beef

Per capita: 30 yuan

Point: Foot-lifting beef, foot-lifting series, steamed pork intestines with powder, steamed pork intestines with powder.

Address: Jiaochangba Street 100

Tip: As a person, I am afraid that every dish is too big. As soon as I came in and saw the dishes on other tables, I was relieved. The share is not too big, but it is actually very big. As soon as the boss saw that I was a tourist, he came up to introduce me, but he didn't look at the menu, so he asked me whether I wanted beef or fat sausage, and recommended two dishes, both of which were the specialty of this store, and the weight was just right. Besides, I may go to Leshan several times for this crooked toe beef ~

The origin of foot beef: Legend has it that there is an old Chinese doctor in Leshan, Sichuan. After seeing some large families throw their internal organs into the river, he felt embarrassed, so he picked them up, washed them and put them in a soup pot with Chinese herbal medicines. This soup is delicious. Because it tastes delicious, it also has the effect of preventing and treating diseases. So people who come to drink are in an endless stream, and they are all full. In the meantime, some people without seats are standing, some are squatting, and some are sitting cross-legged on the doorstep, eating fast food with bowls. Over time, diners came up with another name for "tiptoe" beef, which has been passed down to this day.

Steamed pork intestines are slightly spicy, with spices such as pepper, but the taste is really unique. Fat intestines need to be treated, and they won't bite. Soft and waxy taste can hardly hold chopsticks.

After checking out, I found that all the beef was burnt after ordering. No wonder it's so refreshing and smooth.

Swimming pork intestines

Per capita: 40 yuan

Must order: crispy pork intestines, pork intestines powder, pork intestines soup.

Address:No. Xiangxiang Street 16 1, Shizhong District, Leshan City, Sichuan Province

Known as a century-old shop that originated in Xianfeng period of Qing Dynasty! Because the environment has been decorated, a fly restaurant that doesn't get in the way. As the name implies, the fat sausage shop specializes in eating fat sausages. There are many kinds of fat sausages here. I looked at the menu, and there was a special small box, which was perfect for a customer like me who wanted to try everything. The waiter also recommended Wang Xue, which is a must-eat food when I came to Sichuan, so I ate Wang Xue and tasted all the delicious food in the small box. Pork intestines are delicious. There are two flavors of fat sausage, namely crispy fat sausage and fat sausage glutinous rice roll. Taste and taste are different, but each has its own taste. For fat sausage lovers, I think it is an essential food. No wonder the innkeeper recommended that you must come here to eat first ~

The snack box is also served with Leshan's famous little sweet-skinned duck. There are two specialty stores near the oil flying factory. There are many people waiting in line every time they pass by. Just try it and see what's the difference between it and the roast duck in Guangdong and Guangxi. In fact, the taste is almost the same, except that the sweet-skinned duck tastes sweeter and is not as heavy as the brine in Guangdong and Guangxi.

Chicken feet are really delicious, but they are also really spicy. I feel nothing when I eat them. My lips are hot and numb after eating them. . .

In Leshan, except for eating, I slept all the time, bragged with the innkeeper and watched the Buddha. Why don't you climb the Buddha? Because you are lazy. . . Before going to Leshan, I just finished a 15 day trip to Gansu. I am full and tired. I came to Leshan to rest and relax, so I naturally canceled all physical activities such as climbing mountains, but how can I come to Leshan without seeing the giant Buddha? In fact, there are many ways to see Leshan Giant Buddha.

The first way is to climb the Buddha in the most primitive way and feel the shock of the Buddha at close range. Ticket 80 yuan, as a world-class scenic spot, is actually very conscientious.

The second way is to visit the Buddha by boat. This process only takes 30 minutes, and there is no need to enter the scenic spot. There are boat tickets for 50 yuan, and there are boats at two docks. In fact, it's not far from my inn, but it's not within my consideration;

Third, opposite the Leshan government, you can take two ferries to Zhou Zi, just opposite the Leshan Giant Buddha, where you can see the Giant Buddha and many farmhouses. The ferry fare seems to be 3 yuan. There are basically no tourists to go, because this news is the most authentic play strategy provided by the onlookers who attracted me to fly the plane to the local people;

The fourth way is the way I use it. On the shore, find a quiet and unobstructed corner and put the drone in. I studied it before I went to Leshan. I thought Leshan should not let drones fly. As a result, when I looked at the map, the whole Leshan was either forbidden or restricted, so I boldly flew in Leshan for two days and several times. It is said that the Giant Buddha has collected many drones in recent years. After all, the airflow on the river where the three rivers meet is not very stable, so be especially careful when you first fly. After the first experience, later flights became more and more open.

I chose a great inn in Leshan, which is on the top floor of the yellow building in the above picture and has a good view. You can see the Leshan Giant Buddha on the side, and many local photographers will come to the rooftop of the inn. When the drone flies, you can see the color difference at the intersection of the three rivers.

The Leshan Giant Buddha in the distance is embedded in a rocky mountain. It can be said that the mountain is a Buddha and the Buddha is a mountain.

Leshan is located at the intersection of the three rivers, and the Minjiang River, Qingyi River and Dadu River meet at the foot of Lingyun Mountain. The water is quite fierce, and the boat series is often subverted. Every summer flood, the river will hit the mountain wall, which often leads to the tragedy of shipwrecks and deaths. Haitong Zen master initiated it to reduce the water potential and benefit all beings, and recruited manpower and material resources to repair it. The giant Buddha was excavated in the first year of Kaiyuan in the Tang Dynasty (7 13) and completed in the 19th year of Zhenyuan (803), which lasted about 90 years. The giant Buddha is a seated statue of Maitreya, with a height of 7 1 m, and it is the largest cliff stone statue in China.

Every day from eight o'clock in the morning, the cruise ship is full of tourists and transports them to the foot of the giant Buddha. The river is also noisy.

From the front of the Buddha, there are not many tourists climbing the mountain to see the Buddha. From the foot of the mountain to the top, there are many people.

Presumably, their perspective is also very good, after all, it is the closest contact with the Buddha.

Originally, I went to Chengdu last year to come to Leshan to punch the Buddha. I still remember being shocked by the majesty of the giant Buddha when I was a child. I've always wanted to have a chance to go to Sichuan instead of Jiuzhaigou. As a result, the giant Buddha was renovated and scaffolding was set up in June last year, so we had to refund the ticket and wait for the opportunity. Fortunately, the Buddha's edge is still there, and in the first half of this year. I didn't go to Mount Emei either, just to see the Buddha.

The scenery overlooking the Buddha is spectacular, especially compared with the tourists who occupy the road, which shows how difficult it was to repair the Buddha in those days.

Unify to open a small stove

This is a little surprise that I accidentally found on this trip. If you are hungry at night, go downstairs and buy coke. I saw a unified cooker in the convenience store near the inn. It is a convenient food that can be eaten immediately without microwave oven, which is convenient and fast.

There are several flavors to choose from when cooking in a small stove. I bought stewed beef brisket with potatoes.

Tear open the outer packaging, which is divided into two layers, including raw rice, dried vegetables and a pack of meat dishes. All ingredients are individually packaged, clean and hygienic.

Put the heating bag at the bottom, add water, put the rice, dried vegetables, potato and beef into the clay box respectively, put it on the heating bag, add water to the rice, cover it, wait 15 minutes, and a steaming potato and beef stew will be ready. It is really convenient!

The key is that the whole cooking process is self-operated, absolutely clean and hygienic. It's much healthier than the take-away food that you don't know about putting waste oil outside, and it's really convenient. Since then, I have been turned into a small stove.

Day2 went shopping all day.

When I moved from Leshan to Chengdu, I made an appointment with my friends to continue my gourmet journey. Because my friend came to Chengdu for the first time, I arranged the Wuhou Temple, which must be punched in, and the A4 Art Museum, a new niche attraction found online. I hope I can be infected by Chengdu's literary atmosphere.

Itinerary: Wuhou Temple-Roadside -A4 Art Museum-Chengdu Diners.

Don't miss the photo spot: bamboo shadow on the red wall

Address: No.231Wuhou Temple Street, Wuhou District, Chengdu

Chengdu Wuhou Temple is the only temple in China where the monarch and ministers worship together, the most famous memorial site for heroes of Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei and Shu Han, and the most influential museum of cultural relics of the Three Kingdoms in the world, with the reputation of "Holy Land of the Three Kingdoms".

At first, I was attracted by the photos of the red-walled bamboo forest in Wuhou Temple. I went there once last winter and I will never forget it. This time, I came to Chengdu again and walked into this place that made me miss it for half a year.

The weather in Chengdu is always cloudy and sunny. Today, I am lucky, even if it is sunny, my mood is bright.

Coming in from the main entrance, the first thing to do is to separate the left and right Ming monuments from the Tang monuments. Monument to the Tang Dynasty is a collection of articles written by Pei Du, a famous calligrapher in the middle Tang Dynasty, calligraphy by Liu Gongzhuo, and sharp knife carving by LuJian, a woodcutter. It is known as the "Three Monuments". Then the Hanzhaodi Temple, then the Wuhou Temple and the Sanyi Temple. According to the tour guide, three places are dedicated to Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang and Guan Yu. On the red wall of the Hanzhaodi Temple, there are two calligraphy carvings, namely Zhuge Liang's "front mold" and "back mold". The article we recited when we were students, "But before he conquered, he was dead, and the heroes cried on their coats", is a lesson from the past.

As soon as I arrived at Wuhou Temple, I went straight to the charming Red Wall Bamboo Road. This road surrounds the whole Wuhou Temple, with an entrance on the left and right. You can come out from the other side and go back to the original point from either side.

The towering red wall sometimes twists and turns, and sometimes extends straight forward. The bamboo behind the red wall grows straight up, much higher than the red wall. The bright sunshine falls on the road and red wall along the bamboo seam, leaving a whirling bamboo shadow. With the opening or closing of the sun, bamboo shadow is like a child playing hide-and-seek, sometimes showing its appearance and sometimes hiding. This is a chase between light and shadow.
