The crisp autumn air makes it a good time to travel!
This is not a business trip in Dayi, Chengdu. I have one day left after finishing my work. My senior sister who lives in Chengdu took me to experience a "one-day tour around Chengdu" and I will share it now. I hope it will be helpful to you.

There are forests of pines and cypresses in the scenic area, and there are many places of interest and scenic spots. The scenery for mountain climbing and sightseeing is very good.
Recommended food in Chengdu: 1. Husband and wife’s lung slices.
Using the best beef tongue, beef heart, beef tendon, and beef scalp for seasoning, the lung slices they make have a unique taste and are very refreshing to eat and go well with rice!
In Chengdu, as long as there are guests, most families will buy beef lung slices to entertain them, which is also a "frequent customer" on the Chengdu dining table.
2. Dandan noodles.
Dandan noodles are one of the must-eat delicacies for Chengdu people in the morning. They first became popular when a young man from Zigong carried a burden and sold them along the street.
The young man separated the middle of the pot for cooking noodles, just like the mandarin duck pot we saw today. He stewed the chicken and pig's trotters while cooking the noodles. After the noodles were cooked, he poured the delicious soup over it and served with it.
Ingredients, delicious taste.
If you come to Chengdu and have a bowl of dandan noodles in the morning, your life will be like a fairy!
Must-visit food streets: Jianshe Lane, Kuixinglou Street, Xiangxiang Lane, Paulownia Tree Street, Xinhua Park back entrance, North Academy Street, Kehua Road, Xianghe Lane.
Travel Tips 1. It is best not to order hot pot that is extremely spicy, otherwise it will make you doubt your life.
2. Don’t buy souvenirs easily in the city, as it will cost you money.
