With the development of the western part of the country, Chengdu is changing rapidly, and many high-rise buildings are more impressive than those in Beijing. But I feel that the flavor of Chengdu is getting less and less.
When going to Chengdu, the most important experience is snacks. I can tell you responsibly that most of the famous restaurants and snacks in famous travel guides can be ignored. For example, Jinli is only visited by foreign tourists and not by locals. It feels like Wangfujing Snack Street in Beijing, and the experience is very poor.
When you go to Chengdu to eat snacks, you must ask an experienced Chengdu person to introduce you. When I was very disappointed in Chengdu, a friend from Chengdu took me to several places to eat snacks. I regained my desire for Chengdu because the locals know where the food is delicious. I bought it at the market, had the hot pot at Li Xue's (be sure to order it slightly spicy, it's already very spicy), and there are a few other places I can't remember. But there is one place that left a particularly deep impression on me: Youxuewang in Anren Ancient Town, Dayi County. It’s so delicious! ! ! ! ! I love those dishes so much. There are also some roadside jelly noodles, which are also super delicious.
When traveling in Chengdu, you should take a day to visit Anren Ancient Town. In addition to delicious food, there is also the largest museum complex in China, the "Jianchuan Museum", which was established by fan Jianchuan, a private citizen. There are dozens of museums inside, not only for the Communist Party, but also for the Kuomintang’s Anti-Japanese War museum. This is not easy. In addition, there are Prisoners of War Museum, Three-Inch Golden Lotus Museum, Chairman Mao Badge Museum, etc. There are many folk stories hidden inside, which are well worth seeing. The museum is very large and loses a lot of money. Everyone should support it. In addition, Zhu Jianqiang, who was born in the Wenchuan earthquake, is also here. He would go out for a walk at around 3 o'clock every afternoon. Now he is not even fat anymore. .
There is another place that is particularly unforgettable, that is Sanxingdui. The unearthed cultural relics are really amazing, and the various shapes look like aliens. It's incredible that such complex bronze craftsmanship could have existed thousands of years ago. I think this is one of the must-visit attractions.
In addition, two-day tours can be arranged in Ya'an, Wangyu Ancient Town, and Shangli Ancient Town. The night I slept in Shangli Ancient Town, I felt that I had a very good sleep and the environment was very good. In addition, Langzhong is now more commercialized and more people go there, so it depends on personal circumstances, but the place is still very good.
In Chengdu, I personally don’t like to go to the Kuanzhai Alley. It’s quite interesting to go to some old teahouses and vegetable markets. There are still many hidden folk snacks. I went to the restaurant of the Homeland Hotel with my friends before, and the food was delicious.
Picture part:
There are only so many delicious breakfasts in Chengdu
Anren Ancient Town is full of blood, I My favorite, still unforgettable
The delicacies of Xuewang are unparalleled when eaten with rice
The Prisoner of War Museum in Jianchuan Museum, It's quite depressing to go in and take a look. .
The pigs were strong during the earthquake, but now they are all dead
The magical Sanxingdui, Highly recommended. .
(This answer is entirely based on travel experience)
Humming Zhao Lei’s "Chengdu", "The only thing Chengdu can’t take away is you, come with me for a walk on the streets of Chengdu . "It reminded me of the days when I was traveling in Chengdu. It can be said that it is a city that you don’t want to leave when you come here, a city suitable for relaxing, and a beautiful mountain city.
It is no exaggeration to say that Chengdu is a kingdom of gourmet food. Sichuan cuisine, as one of the eight major cuisines in my country, occupies a very important position in the history of Chinese cooking, with varied seasonings and spicy food. Fresh and fragrant, everything you need. Chunxi Road, Jinli, Kuanzhai Alley, Wenshuyuan Food Street, there are a dazzling array of local snacks in the streets and alleys.
For example, Huangcheng Laoma on Second Ring Road in Houwu District. Although it is not eye-catching, a row of bamboo trees at the entrance blocks the main store, but it looks particularly quiet. There is a large relief on the right side of the main entrance, accompanied by the sound of running water, and a plain Chinese decoration. The waiter leads you into the dining room for the lunch buffet, which has a slight combination of Chinese and Western decoration styles. The buffet dishes adopt the Japanese twist method to facilitate diners. Extract dishes.
As a land of abundance, Chengdu is rich in products. Shu Brocade, one of the "Four Famous Brocades in China", and Shu Embroidery, one of the "Four Famous Embroideries in China" are both good choices for you; porcelain bamboo weaving is eye-opening; silver silk handicrafts are magnificent; Qingcheng silk rugs are exquisite. Tapestries and rugs are yours to choose from. Friends who love delicious food, don’t forget to bring some authentic Pixian bean paste. Chengdu’s shopping streets are concentrated in the Chunxi Road, Zongfu Road, and Luomashi areas, with everything from large department stores and supermarkets to vendors and tourist souvenirs.
Chengdu, the city of Chengdu, has been known as the "Land of Abundance" since ancient times. Chengdu has quite a few unique tourist attractions, and they are also worth traveling to. Let me give you an example:
1. Dujiangyan Historical Site
2. Kuanzhai Alley
3. Jinli
4. Qingcheng Mountain
5. Huanglongxi Ancient Town
6. Du Fu Thatched Cottage
7. Xiling Snow Mountain
8. Wenshu Monastery
9. Jinsha Ruins
10. Shixiang Lake
11. Jiulonggou
12. Pingle Ancient Town
13. Chengdu People’s Park
I really hate the crowds at popular tourist attractions. I have been to Chengdu several times to explore relatively niche tourist attractions. A local friend in Chengdu couldn’t help but sigh that I, a Chongqing native, know Chengdu better than he, a Chengdu native, hhhhhhhhhhhh!
I would like to recommend 7 unpopular attractions in Chengdu to everyone. If locals have never been there, go quickly. When foreign tourists come to Chengdu, please don’t go to Kuanzhai Alley, Jinli and the like immediately, okay? Is it comfortable to be crowded? The scenic spots I mentioned below will help you experience a more beautiful Chengdu!
My friend from Chengdu took me to Wangcong Temple. He saw that I was not in a good mood those days, so he took me directly to this quiet place. There are really few people. Compared with In the bustling center of Chengdu, this place seems to be isolated from the rest of the world. When I came here, my impetuous mind seemed to settle down. It allowed me to think more and not be disturbed by external factors. This kind of experience is unique in the city. You can't feel it.
In addition, this place is very artistic, and students who like photography can try it. The reason why it is called Wangcong Temple is because this is a place to commemorate Emperor Wang and Emperor Cong. Interested students can learn about the history of the Three Kingdoms period before coming~
This school is probably one of the few in junior colleges. The environment is considered so beautiful that it is considered a tourist attraction, but although it is a vocational college, it is the only exclusive academic education institution established in China.
You all know Harry Potter, right? The respondent stayed up all night watching this series in elementary school. He still remembers that he was full of expectations for the opposite-described Hogwarts school. He didn't expect that when he grew up, he would actually see this style of school!
The decoration style with blue and gray tones is very nice. I like this minimalist style, so I booked it immediately when I saw it, without hesitation! Friends who like this style can try it. The photos are taken in real life, so don’t worry about them not being consistent with the real thing~
The location is also very convenient, with Wangfujing Department Store and Chunxi Road nearby, so you can reach it right away. It is very convenient to go wherever you want to go by subway. The room has two bedrooms and one living room, so you are not afraid if there are many people. It is also very suitable for a family to travel!
The white-based decoration style is also a style I like very much, not only in decoration, but also in clothing. . I like the simple and comfortable feeling.
This store has a bit of an industrial feel, the bed is from IKEA, and the sleeping experience is great. The oversized floor-to-ceiling windows are super cool, and oh, by the way, there is also a projector, which is very comfortable to watch a movie at night~
The listings are all from an app called Zhuduoduo, I want to see them Friends with different styles can download and choose by themselves~
Compared to the memories of the eastern suburbs, this place seems like a forgotten corner of Chengdu. The style is that of the 1960s and 1970s. Whether it is a dilapidated and old factory or a mottled red wall brick, you can take a fashion blockbuster just by standing there and taking a casual photo.
Students who like to go for a literary and artistic style must not miss this place. Some locals who want to take wedding photos, artistic photos, etc. will choose to come here.
Maybe some people in Chengdu have never paid attention to this place. The alley is only 300 meters long, but it is full of the flavor of the Republic of China. There are old Nordic Western-style buildings at the entrance of the alley, and there are some retail stores on the roadside. The scattered shops, antique shops, small department stores, etc. have a very market atmosphere.
I really like things that have a sense of the times, whether they are scenery or objects. Probably because I am a nostalgic person.
The European-style streets can also be truly felt in China. When you are tired from playing in the city center of Chengdu, it might be a good choice to take a walk here after dinner. Of course, if you come during the day, you can take photos full of European style.
The real thing is more beautiful than the photo~ It’s really like wandering in a small European town!
Highly recommend here! ! I have a hobby of visiting stores, and I was shocked when I found this little store! Would such a weird store still exist in this day and age? The things on sale really opened my eyes. When I saw something, I couldn't help but want to touch it. I picked it up and looked at it carefully.
And the books on the first floor are also very weird. There will be a talk show on the second floor. If you like it, you can have a cup of tea and listen to it all afternoon. There is a terrace when you go up to the third floor, and the desserts such as cakes and coffee that can be ordered are also very strange. . Remember to make a reservation in advance before going.
Come here, whether you want to work or exercise, whether you want to eat or do art, we can perfectly meet your needs. It is very versatile and diversified, so you can prepare for a day here, which is enough for you to enjoy yourself.
Compared to Kuanzhai Alley and Jinli, why not choose to come here? You don’t have to run around and endure crowded scenes, the one-stop service will make you feel happy ~
The location is next to Kuanzhai Alley. The place is not big, just a courtyard. Although the place is not big, the decoration and layout are exquisite, with water and a pond. Sometimes there will be an exhibition here, so I can go see paintings, exhibitions and the like, which is really pleasant.
If you go to Kuanzhai Alley, you can stop by this place.
We happen to be passing by Paulownia Road, wouldn't it be more wonderful to play together?
The reason why I recommend this is because there are so many delicious things in this alley! ! Thai food, hotpot, pub, barbecue and more are all on this street! Dazzling you!
When I saw this street, my first emotion was, I must eat all the food in this street! It's a pity that I left before I finished eating. I will continue to eat next time I come to Chengdu!
This is another foodie street, with a total length of no more than 500 meters, but there are twenty or thirty restaurants. The key point is that if you don’t wait in line for these dozens of businesses, you won’t be able to eat at any of them!
Friends who don’t like spicy food are the best place to eat here. As a Chongqing native who can eat spicy food, I became addicted to it in Chengdu! I don’t recommend any merchants. Anyway, everyone’s products are delicious, so just choose one for yourself!
It’s worth going to scenic spots with reasonable prices, and it’s not much more expensive than food in non-scenic spots. It’s recommended to eat Shu Daxia hotpot. Locals and tourists like it, but you have to queue up in advance. It’s recommended that if you want to eat at night, you can do it at 4 o’clock. The queuing service is very good and delicious
The attractions are not far from Dujiangyan and Qingcheng Mountain. There is Du Fu Thatched Cottage Panda Base in the city, Jinli Wuhou Temple, Kuanzhai Alley
Here are a few more pictures haha
I traveled to Chengdu for about two or three days. Hotpot is a must. As for tourist attractions, I only visited the city. We went to Jinli, Wuhou Temple, Kuanzhai Alley, Taikoo Li, and the Giant Panda Base. Giant pandas are very cute
Chengdu is a city with rich tourism resources. There are many places to play, such as Wuhou Temple, Dujiangyan, Du Fu Thatched Cottage, Huanglong River, Qingcheng Mountain, Jinli, Kuanzhai Alley, etc., as long as Time permitting, it’s okay to play for a few more days.
However, the attractions I want to recommend to everyone are Jinli and Kuanzhai Alleys. Perhaps these two places are the most popular in Chengdu.
Jinli, located next to Wuhou Temple, is a pedestrian street with a strong urban atmosphere. Chengdu people love to visit Jinli, and tourists from out of town also like to take a break in Jinli after leaving Wuhou Temple. Jinli is so crowded every day. Tourists traveling from south to north are the most prosperous reason for Jinli.
Jinli is known as the "No. 1 Street in Xishu". It is said that during the Three Kingdoms period, this was the place where brocade craftsmen gathered, hence the name Jinli. Today's Jinli Pedestrian Street was newly built based on Wuhou Temple. Together with its extension, Shui'an Jinli, it forms an authentic commercial pedestrian street in the city.
I once wrote an article titled "Chengdu Jinli, the Spicy Smell in the Air". As long as you walk in the streets and alleys of Jinli, the air is filled with a strong spicy aroma, stimulating your taste buds. Foodies love Jinli the most. Going around Jinli and tasting Chengdu’s special delicacies should be a great enjoyment during the trip.
When I went to Kuanzhai Alley in Chengdu, I was shocked by a relief painting on the wall there. The picture shows a middle-aged man riding a tricycle, wearing a raincoat, walking through the narrow streets. There are potatoes and cabbage on the bicycle. The man turned his head inadvertently, expressing all the warmth and coldness in the world. This is the Kuanzhai Alley in Chengdu.
Kuanzhai Alley is composed of three parallel streets, namely Kuan Alley, Narrow Alley and Jing Alley. Chengdu people like to call them Kuanzhai Alley. It is a relatively large-scale ancient street from the Qing Dynasty left over from the history of Chengdu. Together with two other places in Chengdu, Daci Temple and Wenshu Monastery, it is known as the three historical and cultural business cards of Chengdu.
The wide alley is not too wide, and the narrow alley is not too narrow, but along these alleys, the rows of buildings are mostly in the northern courtyard architectural style. It is said that this place used to be a gathering place for the children of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty, and the entire Kuanzhai Alley is full of the play style left over from those dandy children. Drinking tea, painting eyebrows, playing with Peking Opera tickets, gambling, fighting crickets, flying kites, playing musical instruments, all kinds of food, drink and fun things that can be done in the world can be performed in Kuanzhai Alley.
Although Kuanzhai Alley today is very different from the past, its cultural context has still been passed down, and it also reflects the unique "slow life" attitude of Chengdu people. There is a joke on the Internet that during the earthquake, Chengdu people were still playing mahjong in a leisurely manner. Perhaps this is a true reflection of their leisurely life.
After visiting these two places, you can generally understand the history, culture and real life of Chengdu. I wish my friends a happy trip!
I just came back from traveling in Chengdu. Let me introduce my itinerary: I took the high-speed train from Xi'an and arrived in Hanzhong first. Then in order: Fengxian, Guangyuan, Jianmenguan, Mianyang, Deyang, Chengdu, Dujiangyan, Wenchuan, Dayi, ***28 days. In Chengdu, we visited the Giant Panda Breeding Base, Kuanzhai Alley, Chengdu Museum, Sichuan Science and Technology Museum, Du Fu Thatched Cottage, Wuhou Temple, Jinli, and Qingyang Palace. Overall, I felt that Chengdu was really good. You can taste various local snacks in Kuanzhai Alley and Jinli (both of which are famous pedestrian streets in China). Chengdu has convenient transportation, food, accommodation, transportation, and sightseeing. The price is considered to be lower than average among provincial capital cities in the country. Chengdu is worth a visit
As a poor traveler who has just returned from a poor trip, let me share my plan. 1. Train: Go: K5 on July 30 (13:20--05:07) Return: 8 k870 on August 6th (14:41--08:04)
2. Time in Chengdu: August 1st (starting at 5:00) August 2nd (all day) October 3rd ( All day) August 4th (all day) August 5th (all day) August 6th (ends at 14:41)
None of them taste good (other brands are even worse), Their noodles look delicious. Long Chao Shou and Zhong Dumplings are actually wontons and dumplings, but they taste great. It is recommended to take the subway to Tianfu Square from Wenshu Monastery instead of walking. Tianfu Square has a lot of delicious food. After eating, you can walk to Kuanzhai Alley or take Metro Line 2 and take Exit D3. Next, take a rest and stroll around the Kuanzhai Alley.
4. Wuhou Temple has WeChat explanations and WiFi is available. 5. Jinli is close to Wuhou Temple and there is no big difference between Kuanzhai and Kuanzhai. I don’t find it interesting.
Taken from the classic shooting location of Dujiangyan
, Shu Brocade Embroidery Museum. Summary after returning: Take the subway from People’s Park to Qingyang Palace, and then just walk to the other three places.
Drinking tea in Chengdu is not expensive. . . .
I am very happy to come back to this question. Because I have relatives in Chengdu, I take my parents to Chengdu to visit relatives almost every year. I am very familiar with Chengdu. Let me share with you my experience of traveling to Chengdu. !
Chengdu is indeed a place you don’t want to leave once you’ve arrived, because of its long history, culture, urban beauty, and Sichuan cuisine on the tip of your tongue! Historical and cultural attractions
Chengdu is an ancient city with a long history. It has rarely experienced the ravages of war and has preserved rich historical and cultural attractions.
1. Dujiangyan
Yu Qiushui said in "Cultural Journey" that "the most exciting project in Chinese history is not the Great Wall, but Dujiangyan." This view is well-founded. , the social function of the Great Wall has long been depleted, but Dujiangyan is still delivering clear water to countless people. With it, the Sichuan Plain, where droughts and floods are permanent, has become the Land of Abundance. Whenever there is a major disaster for our nation, the Kingdom of Abundance always calmly provides shelter and nourishment. Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that it has permanently irrigated the Chinese nation.
Panoramic view of Dujiangyan at sunset
Tickets: 90 yuan for adults, 45 yuan for discounted tickets with student vouchers; half ticket for seniors in Sichuan Province and other provinces with vouchers; those over 70 years old (including 70 1 year old) and the elderly are free of charge (all senior citizens’ certificates during the Golden Week need to buy half the ticket); the guide is 10 yuan (additional fee). Scenic spot sightseeing bus tickets are 15 yuan for a round trip and 10 yuan for one way.
Transportation:
EMU: Take the EMU from Chengdu Xipu to Dujiangyan Railway Station. The journey takes about 30 minutes and the fare is 10 yuan/person.
Private collection Easter egg: I recommend you not to enter through the main entrance, but to buy tickets from the higher Qinyan Tower. People in their 90s don’t know that walking this way can avoid turning back, cleverly avoid the flow of people, and it saves much energy when walking from top to bottom.
2. Leshan Giant Buddha
The Leshan Giant Buddha is one of the exquisite works of art among the Moyan statues of the Tang Dynasty. The Buddha sits upright with his hands on his knees. The shape is solemn, the drainage facilities are hidden, and the design is ingenious. . The Buddha statue was excavated in the early years of the founding of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty (AD 713). It was initiated by monk Haitong to reduce the power of the water and save all living beings. He recruited manpower and material resources to build it. After Haitong's death, Haitong's disciples took over the construction. It was not completed until the 19th year of Zhenyuan (803 AD) of Emperor Dezong of the Tang Dynasty, which lasted 90 years. It is praised by poets as "the mountain is a Buddha, and the Buddha is a mountain." The lush forests and bamboos on the mountain are green all year round, and the three rivers converge at the foot of the mountain. It enjoys the reputation of being the best landscape in the southwest and has been praised by literati of all ages.
Looking up at the Leshan Giant Buddha
The Leshan Giant Buddha scenic area includes the Leshan Giant Buddha, Lingbao Pagoda, Lingyun Temple, Haishi Cave, Jiuqu-Lingyun Plank Road, Giant Sleeping Buddha, Oriental Buddha Capital, and Buddha Country Paradise, Mahao Cliff Tomb, Wuyou Mountain, etc.

80 yuan/person (including Leshan Giant Buddha, Wuyou Temple, Mahao Cliff Tomb)

Others: It also includes Mount Emei, Mount Qingcheng and other historical and cultural attractions. I will not elaborate here one by one. These attractions all reflect Chengdu’s long history and the integration of Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism and other cultures. Features. Urban beauty
Chengdu is also a modern and civilized international metropolis, and the urban area is filled with Chengdu's unique life and culture.
1. Kuanzhai Alley
No matter how you dislike its crowds or lament its commercialization, as long as you come to Chengdu, Kuanzhai Alley is a place that cannot be bypassed in Chengdu. .
It consists of three parallel old-fashioned urban streets, Kuan Alley, Narrow Alley and Jing Alley, and the courtyard complex between them. Come here to drink tea, eat hot pot, and experience the leisure, slow and new life of Chengdu. . Here you can order a cup of Mengshan Huangya and chat with the old man next to you, or you can call a "Shu'erlang" and enjoy the comfort of having your ears picked out, or you can face a dazzling array of snacks at the food stall. Have a great time.
The Kuanzhai Alley at night also has a unique charm. Bars such as Dianzui, Baiye and Huli are full of Chengdu’s fashion sense and bloom its charm at night.
Tickets: None
Transportation: Just in the city, taxis and buses are very convenient.
2. Chunxi Road
Chunxi Road is the fashion center of Chengdu. This is the most representative commercial pedestrian street in Chengdu. Shopping and looking at the beautiful beauties is a must-do in Chengdu. one thing. Chunxi Road is not just a street but refers to the east of Beixin Street, the south of Zongfu Road, the west of Hongxing Road, the north of East Street, Nanxin Street, Zhongxin Street and its frontage area. If foreigners come to Chengdu without Visiting Chunxi Road is like going to Beijing without going to Wangfujing, or going to Shanghai without going to Nanjing Road.
At the intersection of the main streets of Chunxi Road is the famous Zhongshan Square, where a bronze statue of Sun Yat-sen stands. At the north entrance, there is also a Chengdu custom relief art wall made of granite, which depicts temple fairs, There are flower festivals, lantern festivals, mulberry picking and other landscapes.
There are many Internet celebrity check-in spots hidden on Chunxi Road, such as Fangsuo and Yanjiyou. They are both new-style bookstores that integrate shopping, leisure and culture. They have a very petty bourgeois atmosphere.
Others: For example, the Jiukong Bridge and its bar street at night, Eastern Suburb Memory and other cultural attractions in the city are all worth visiting. Sichuan delicacies on the tip of your tongue
Chengdu is the center of Sichuan delicacies and has always been famous for its explosion of flavors. You must taste these authentic Sichuan delicacies when you come to Chengdu.
1. Leshan Xianzhi Wei Bobo Chicken
Address: No. 22 Caotang North Road
It is a small fly restaurant in the city, but it is really good tasty! There are two flavors: red oil and pickled pepper, neither of which are special. Sprinkled with sesame seeds, it looks mouth-watering~ When you eat skewers in Chengdu, you pay for each skewer. Here, one stick is 0.6 yuan, vegetarian. Most of them are one stick, and the meaty ones vary from one stick to two, but they are all so cheap! You know, if you eat it in Guangzhou, it starts from 2 yuan per stick...
Recommended for vomiting blood: boneless chicken feet (eat both flavors!), tripe, and hot rice in chicken soup
2. Yi Laoma Hoof Flower Soup
Address: No. 13, Gennan Street, Dongcheng (People’s Park)
In a store near People’s Park, there are rows of hoof flowers all around. This is a shop that calls itself Lao Ma’s Hoof Flower Soup. It’s like a hoof flower soup street. You must keep your eyes peeled. “Yi Lao Ma’s Hoof Flower Soup” is the authentic one and has even been featured on CCTV! Lao Ma's hoof flowers are very fragrant, the soup is white, and the taste is great. It is full of collagen and slippery~ The whole bowl of soup is a little thick, with a few chopped green onions for freshness, it's amazing!
3. Maojiao Hotpot
Address: No. 33, Kuixinglou Street (near Kuanzhai Alley)
Maojiao Hotpot = Maojiaohuo Spicy, as the name suggests, it is extremely spicy. There is no such thing as Yuanyang Hotpot. The spicy and refreshing feeling can make your taste buds explode, but your stomach will suffer the next day.
This very popular hotpot restaurant also has a lot of rabbits, such as hot rabbit waist, Huanhou rabbit waist, spicy rabbit head... there is no shortage of them all. Friends who love to eat Tutu must come early, otherwise they will be sold out~ If you don’t like Tutu’s pearls, you will find that the quail eggs here are extremely delicious! It's very tasty, with a bit of vinegary sourness, and the spiciness is just right.
Well, I can’t say enough about Chengdu’s food. I feel that in addition to having good teeth, you also need a good stomach. Chengdu’s food is not that simple!
