Um. I don’t know much about Chongqing, I only know that the night scene is very beautiful.

In Chengdu, I would like to say that the one upstairs is not recommended but I recommend it. The Sands Museum is really worth a visit. Of course, if you are interested, tickets are still relatively expensive after all. Speaking of which, there are really too many attractions in Chengdu. Wuhou Temple and Du Fu Thatched Cottage are all well-known cultural attractions. Jinli and Wenshufang are famous folk streets. The Giant Panda Breeding Base is a famous national treasure viewing spot. Chunxi Road and Tianfu Square are the facades representing the modern development of Chengdu. Of course, my main recommendation now is definitely Kuanzhai Alley. This is the first tourism project launched by Chengdu after the 512 earthquake. It is known as the most tourist attraction in Chengdu. It is renovated on the basis of retaining the original courtyard houses and other old buildings in Chengdu. It is absolutely On this street, you can not only experience the leisure of old Chengdu people, but also experience the life of new and new people. The third Starbucks flagship store in the country is opened here. Therefore, Kuanzhai Alley is definitely a must-see attraction in Chengdu.

But in the past, the management of this emotion was quite confusing. There would be some paid attractions made by merchants or companies. Everyone must pay attention when visiting. Don't listen to some road stooges in the surrounding area to take you to these paid attractions. In addition, there are actually free attractions in Baiyangdian, Anxin County. Baiyangdian is the largest freshwater lake in North China. Its attractions only account for a small part of it. In fact, if you go to Baiyangdian, you can rent a boat from a nearby farmhouse.
