🌿 Nature's Secret Realm Route: The Double Romance of Waterfalls and Flower Seas
 
- In the morning, head to Qingcheng Back Mountain Waterfall. Wear comfortable shoes and hike along the stream, watching the water break into silver beads, forming a curtain of water. Photos taken in the mist naturally have a soft-focus filter, guaranteeing 100% great shots.
- In the afternoon, move to Tianfu Furong Garden. Ten thousand hibiscus flowers form a pink and white sea of flowers. Wait until evening to watch the petals blush from jade white to deep red. Set up a canopy on the lawn and lie down to sunbathe.
- In the evening, go to Hanggang Road Flower Wall. Let the layers of hibiscus flowers be your background. The blue sky paired with pink flowers makes for wallpaper-worthy photos with a casual snap.
 🚶 Old City Roaming Route: A Full Embrace of Life and Art
 - Get up early, grab a coffee, and stroll along Tangba Street. Check out the niche shops hidden in the old alleys and soak in the atmosphere of the "coolest neighborhood" praised by a British magazine.
- At noon, head to Beishuyuan Street. Find a small, local eatery and feast on Maocai and Chuan Chuan. For about 40 RMB per person, you'll eat until you can barely walk – that's the true taste of old Chengdu.
- In the afternoon, wander to Citang Street. The red brick houses paired with plane trees instantly transport you to a Republican-era drama scene. If you're tired, step into an art space to see an exhibition, seamlessly switching between local life and modernity.
 🍲 Culinary Journey Route: From Morning to Night, Never the Same
 - Breakfast must be Zhu Biqiong's Fatty Intestine Noodles. Add an extra "jiezi" (knotted intestine) to soak up the broth. Who understands the joy of slurping noodles!
- For lunch, lock in Luo Er Hotpot. Although the environment is simple, the hotpot base is so fragrant it'll make you stomp your feet. The tripe and duck intestines, dipped "seven up, eight down," are so crispy they'll bounce off your teeth.
- For afternoon tea, grab a freshly baked Guokui. The crust is so flaky it crumbles, and it's perfectly paired with Fuqi Feipian (sliced beef and offal in chili sauce).
- For a late-night snack, head to Xiaomajia BBQ. The charcoal-grilled aroma of fat goes straight to your head, and it's only complete with an ice-cold beer.
📌 Tip: For the waterfall scenic area, wear non-slip shoes. When admiring flowers, please don't damage the branches! Chengdu Autumn Roaming Guide | 3 Treasure Routes to Live Life Like a Poem
