Chengdu Citywalk | One-Day Travel Guide! hidden gem of a hotel near Chengdu Taikoo Li, which is super convenient! One-stop guide to unlocking Chengdu's fun!
📍【Stay】I really recommend staying at a hotel near Chengdu Taikoo Li.
It's close to everything. We, as "special forces" travelers, started our day from Taikoo Li, and everything was convenient.
✅Wangping Street is right downstairs, and you can walk to Taikoo Li and Chunxi Road. It's also super convenient to get to Kuanzhai Alley and Chengdu Museum. The main idea is to "spend time on eating and shopping, not on the road"~
✅The room experience is fantastic! The bedding is soft, and a night's sleep recharges you completely. There are so many snack stalls and trendy shops around that you'll be spoiled for choice. Get up early, head downstairs for a bowl of sweet water noodles and dumplings to start an energetic day!
✅Hidden perk: You get free ice cream 🍦 when you check in! And there's also an ice cream wall nearby for photos, which is super cute! I took so many pictures.
Plus, there are face masks! Afternoon tea ☕️ and a gym! It's really comfortable, and the 6th floor is also great for photos!!!
🗺️【Play】Citywalk Route (with photo spots)
Ben Hotel → Wangping Binhe Road (check out artistic shops along the river, take photos of the atmospheric streets) → Taikoo Li (shop for trendy brands, take photos with the naked-eye 3D screen) → Chunxi Road (see the IFS Panda, look up from the square for a super impressive shot)
Kuanzhai Alley (wear Hanfu and stroll through the ancient streets, take photos of the grey tiles and white walls, and sugar painting stalls, experience the old Chengdu vibe) → Chengdu Museum (Free! See millennium-old artifacts, the light and shadow exhibition on the basement floor is super photogenic, photos look like movie posters)
Chengdu Museum also features Sanxingdui culture. The museum has five floors and is great to explore! But be sure to book in advance, as it gets very crowded!
📝【Travel TIPS】
✅Transportation: Take a taxi or shared bike in the city. Attractions are concentrated, and for distant ones, just take the subway. The Tianfu Tong APP makes scanning super convenient.
✅Food: Wangping Street hides many amazing small eateries! Just close your eyes and devour the skewers, "maocai" (boiled dishes), and ice jelly. Don't miss the egg pancakes and "San Da Pao" in Kuanzhai Alley.
This trip was great thanks to staying at Ben Hotel near Taikoo Li, which saved time and was comfortable, perfectly capturing Chengdu's trendiness, history, and flavors! Friends coming to Chengdu, follow this guide to easily take amazing photos~
