Live Your Best Lives

In Chengdu in May, there is already a trace of summer in the spring breeze that has not yet dissipated. Different from the previous crowds, Rongcheng, which has not fully returned to normal due to the epidemic, is also full of people's enthusiasm for wanting to see the city.
I went to school and worked outside for five years, and during the May Day holiday, I still wanted to go back to Chengdu and walk around the familiar and unfamiliar streets. (Actually, I miss the food in Chengdu too much...... Every time I read about Chengdu on the Internet, I want to buy a plane ticket and rush back! But, hey, reality...... However, this May Day holiday for five days, the epidemic situation has improved slightly, and finally there is no need to continue to suppress the urgency, you can come back and enjoy the taste of life!
Alright, without further ado, let's turn on the play mode!
Tips: Old Chengdu Well Life, Food, Teahouse
Drink gaiwan tea, set up a dragon gate array, bask in the sun, rub mahjong, catch a scene, eat tofu pudding rice, and feel the leisurely life of Chengdu people Just come here.
In fact, this is a newly completed attraction, mainly based on Republic of China-style buildings, and I was also surprised by the first time I came.
Metro Line 7 is direct, as if you are on a time shuttle, and you have traveled back to the streets of old Chengdu in minutes. Walking on the bluestone road, I can't help but feel the fun of "leisure" in "stealing half a day's leisure".
stilt buildings and oil paper umbrellas, the embellishment of neon lights when night falls, and then wearing a cheongsam or Hanfu, the moment the camera freezes, it seems that I don't know what world it is.
If you want to avoid the crowds and spend an afternoon in a leisurely and comfortable place, come to Dongmen Market, where in addition to snacks, damba tea, and taking beautiful photos, There is also Li Jieren's former residence, you can also go in and feel it.
Needless to say, Taikoo Li is a gathering place for hipsters, "don't go to Taikoo Li if you don't tide". Here, young people dressed in strange clothes and photographers with "spears and cannons" can be seen everywhere. In fact, this also shows that Chengdu is a very trendy and inclusive city.
The cute giant panda is a landmark here~
There are many international first-line luxury goods here, and there are also many small shops worth visiting. Eat, drink, play, buy, buy, buy, buy one-stop, you don't have to worry here.
There are still many places worth exploring~
Knock on the point: go at night!!
Jinli is an attraction that I have to go to when I arrive in Chengdu, although it is getting hotter and hotter now, but I still want to go shopping after I come back, mainly to eat.
As a delicious eater who has lived in Sichuan for 20 years, I can tell you very responsibly that you can eat roadside snacks with confidence and boldness on the streets of Chengdu, and you don't have to worry about stepping on thunder at all, even if it is a popular tourist destination, you don't have to worry about being pitted. The hearts of the people of Chengdu are still generally very warm, sincere and kind
It is very suitable for going at night, one is not so stuffy, and the other is that it feels more comfortable to take pictures after the lights are on.
I went when it wasnot completely dark, and the lights were already on.
There are also many traditional small items here, and it is also worth bringing one back as a souvenir for first-time tourists.
Jinli, known as the "First Street of Xishu", condenses the essence of life in Chengdu and is worth a visit.
Let's take a look at the legendary Nine Eyes Bridge.
To experience the nightlife of Chengdu's indigenous youth, come here.
Jiuyanqiao Bar Street is similar to the bar street in the ancient city of Lijiang, Yunnan, and is very friendly to literary and artistic young people who like folk songs, and has a strong cultural atmosphere. Order a cocktail, eat skewers of braised meat, listen to music, and a beautiful night begins.
Beijing Hutong, Shanghai Lane, Chengdu Alley.
During the May Day period, the wide and narrow alleys are limited to 7,500 people, compared with the usual crowded crowds, it is more leisurely to shop, and there is no need to rush like a tourist check-in. And as calm and elegant as a pot of tea.
Kuanzhai Alley is composed of three parallel old-fashioned streets and courtyard groups: Kuanxiali, Narrow Alley and Jingxiangzi. The wide one is called Kuan Alley, which is the old Chengdu life experience area; the narrow one is called the narrow alley, which is the exquisite living area of the petty bourgeoisie and literary youth; The one with a well is called the well alley, which is a creative market activity area.
I occasionally go into a teahouse, drink some tea, eat some snacks, and watch Sichuan opera change its face. Nowadays, traditional culture is becoming more and more attractive.
tips; Tickets are free, pick up with your ID card, stop picking up tickets after 19:30, and close on Mondays.
Highlights: Closed on Mondays!! (Don't run empty)
The museum has a total of 7 floors, 6 floors above ground and 1 floor underground. The negative floor is the "Man and Nature" exhibition hall, I have been to the zoo and aquarium many times, but I was also quite shocked as soon as I walked into this exhibition hall. The shape of the animals inside is very realistic and exquisite, coupled with the ambient sound effects, it is really amazing.
The first floor is the temporary exhibition hall, where some temporary exhibitions are displayed, but there were no exhibitions when I went. The 2nd to 4th floors are Chengdu's historical and cultural display - "Hua Zhongjin Guancheng".
The 5th floor is the Chinese shadow puppet exhibition - "Shadow Dance Vientiane Puppet Show".
The top floor is the observation deck and restaurant, and when you are tired of shopping, you can sit down and have a cup of coffee, and the leisure (laziness) of Chengdu people is really vividly reflected.
The best way to get to know a city is to visit the local parks. There are rockery waterfalls, garden vegetation, elderly people playing cards and drinking tea, children playing in the playground, and the monument to the Xinhai Revolutionary Road Protection Movement. Leisure and culture.
I like to sit at Heming Tea House, drinking gaiwan tea while watching passers-by, which is so comfortable. Enjoy the moment completely, and leave all your worries and unhappiness behind.
Tips: 8:30-20:00 Daylight Saving Time, 8:30-18:30 Winter Time, Closed on Mondays.
When I went, the opening time was temporarily adjusted to 9:00-18:00, so everyone should check the time before going!
Tickets are 70 yuan/person (uh, you can't enjoy the half-price discount for students, wait until you are 60 years old and then get free of charge...... ）
This time, I came mainly to experience "sign language explanation"! If you have been to some museums before, there will be physical or online audio guides to explain some of the stories behind the cultural relics. But I have never seen a sign language explanation! Except for a sign language announcer on the news network, there is almost no contact with sign language. Out of curiosity, I came to find out.
On the official WeChat public account of the "Jinsha Site Museum", click "Audio Guide" - "Sign Language Explanation" to watch. And this is not only for hearing and visually impaired tourists, but also for ordinary tourists, and there are sign language pictures, subtitles and narration in the video at the same time, which is really intimate!
Isn't it amazing that there are such plants and animals in the museum! New photo spot check-in. √
Tips: Cave style, three floors in total
There is an Internet celebrity spiral staircase on the first floor, and my personal favorite is the panorama of the stairs taken from the third floor, which is beautiful!
Drinks are sold on the second floor, so you can enjoy a relaxing afternoon while sitting by the window drinking coffee and flipping through a paper book.
There are some handicrafts and small items for sale on the third floor, and if you have enough time, you can also soak here for an afternoon to paint oil paintings and take them home to make decorations.
Don't forget, people are bookstores, we socialist young people still have to read more books~ (It's okay to pose for photos)
Tips: Photo check-in place, industrial style
Known as "China's West London District", the former site of the Chengdu Hongguang Electron Tube Factory was renovated, retaining some of the factory areas with distinctive industrial characteristics, and combining them with cultural and creative industries. A music industry base. A cultural and creative park integrating music, art and photography.
Red brick factories, locomotives, and railroad tracks, full of nostalgia. The graffiti on the wall, the small shop of literature and art, is undoubtedly a holy place for trendy men and women to take pictures.
Nowadays, this kind of cultural and creative park is getting better and better, and Jimei can take pictures of photo tutorials on the Internet to dominate the circle of friends!
I'm really exhausted from playing these days, but eating is the best way to soothe my heart. Anyway, after walking so much, it's not too much to eat a few more bites. Women just have to be kind to themselves! Hahahaha...... Okay, okay, I can't wait to reminisce. Jimei comes with me and swallows through the screen!
How can I come to Chengdu without eating hot pot? Arrange it right away! The first meal in Chengdu must be hot pot, and hot pot is the soul of Sichuan people. Even if it's so spicy that you can't look back on it the next day, you have to eat it quickly!
After watching the handsome guys and beautiful women in Taikoo Li, you can go to Yuan Laosi to make a hot pot 77. A hot pot restaurant in a garden with a beautiful and antique environment.
Everyone thinks that the hot pot they make is the most fragrant, and of course, I think so haha. Here, I will present my unique secret seasoning to Jimei. Half a bowl of sesame oil, two tablespoons of vinegar, one spoonful of oyster sauce, three tablespoons of garlic paste, three tablespoons of coriander, two tablespoons of sesame oil, and a little millet pepper, sesame seeds and sugar. It may seem a bit light, because the hot pot ingredients are spicy! My step is to pick up a piece of meat, put it in a seasoning bowl, dip it in a dry dish, and eat it in your mouth.
I'm back, I'm back, I'm definitely going to eat some meat first.
The special duck intestines are super invincible long, and they are said to be 1 meter long, and the longest can reach 2 meters. Spare one circle after another, just shake it in the pot seven or eight times, and the crispy and delicious duck intestines can be enjoyed. Spicy beef, fat beef, tripe, beef louver, brain flower, yellow throat...... These are all indispensable for eating hot pot.
As for snacks, brown sugar glutinous rice cakes are indispensable. The crispy meat is seven points thin and three points fat, and then dipped in cumin and dried chili noodles, the more you chew, the more flavorful it becomes. (Finally understand why female celebrities have to chew 30 bites of food, it turns out that people taste the taste, we just have to eat enough)
The bone broth that has been boiled for eight hours is rich and full of ingredients, and the price is not expensive. It is highly recommended that friends who are not particularly good at spicy food come, Jimei from other places can come to this place to try it first~
Whoever said that eating roast duck is going to Beijing, you can also eat roast duck in Chengdu. With the sign of roast duck, this store is actually an authentic Sichuan restaurant. Located next to the park, it is very popular with old Chengdu people. Look at this battle, it's all a family, suitable for all ages.
I have eaten a lot of Mao dishes such as Mao Brain Flower and Mao Mao Duck Blood before, and this is the first time I have eaten the store's signature Mao Mao Roast Duck. Sichuan cuisine really has a magical charm, and any food becomes unique as long as it is added to the unique methods of Sichuan cuisine.
When served, the butter topping will drizzle right under your nose on the roast duck, sizzling as if a flock of ducks are dancing. The topping is amazing, who sees the food dancing, can it not induce the taste buds. Roast duck is grilled more charred, and I personally think it's just right to grill it to this extent. Overall, it is a little more spicy and less greasy than the traditional roast duck.
Brown sugar glutinous rice cakes cut into squares are really rare, and the fried texture is relatively heavy, like a square oil paste.
Spicy chicken, that is, looking for chicken in chili, this store also has one more distinction between peanuts and chicken, myopia can be careful.
If you want to experience authentic Sichuan flavor, high quality and low price, come here.
Tips: Affordable, Sichuan-style seafood
Where to eat seafood in Chengdu, look for Wang Xiao Oyster. （hhhhh…… <
img src="https://dimg04.c-ctrip.com/images/100m1h000001hve5109A7_R_800_10000_Q90.jpg?proc=autoorient" />Personally, I have a soft spot for seafood, because it is really rare to eat seafood in the inland all year round, and the seafood made in coastal areas is too light. Then this store perfectly meets my needs, fresh and delicious.
Thecold carapace is very refreshing, there is no sand in the carapace, sour and spicy, it is a very good hors d'oeuvre. The spiciness is moderate, and you can open a bottle of beer at this time.
The main dish oysters are here! It is said that they are all transported from Zhanjiang, which is particularly delicious and has a bit of a crunchy texture. Grilled oysters with garlic, plump and juicy, tender meat, garlic and oysters are really a perfect match.
I also ordered another oyster, which is grilled plain, with lemon juice and dipping sauce, which can better reflect the unique deliciousness of the oysters themselves. But I personally prefer garlic~
I want to know where Zhanjiang oysters are wholesaled, it's so delicious!
The boss is also super beautiful! The taste of the shop opened by beautiful people is also delicious~
Xun Xiaohuan Braised Lamb Skewers (Jiuyanqiao Store , Wuhou District)
For 13 years, he relied on a stove to set up a roadside stall to sell lamb skewers, and today Xun Xiaohuan has opened ten stores, I have to say "admiration"! I went to the Jiuyanqiao store.
I don't like mutton very much, but I like to challenge myself again and again, most of the time I still haven't broken through, but this time I unexpectedly accepted it. I also think it's very delicious!
Lamb is a signature, you must try it. Fat and thin, one bite, first burst the juice, and then chew the texture of the meat. I ate more heavily, the boss did a good job of seasoning, and there was no smell of mutton when I ate it, but the aroma of meat wrapped in seasoning. Fat but not greasy, it is worth savoring.
The method of stewing retains the juice and the meat is tender.When it was first baked, it was still bubbling with oil. It goes well with some of the restaurant's vegetarian dishes and beer, as well as snacks.
In addition to barbecue, there is also a lamb shabu-shabu buffet in the store, this time I am too full, you can wait until winter to try the hot pot version of mutton. Eat mutton on the winter solstice to warm up~ (It seems that the summer is not out of place now)
This is a very suitable place to get together with three or five friends, blow the wind, drink night beer, and chat all night on summer nights.
Tips: High-value, good conscience ice powder
Edison Chen's wife goes to the Internet celebrity ice powder shop to check in, so how can I, an urban celebrity, miss it. The interior decoration of the store is different from the regular Internet celebrity ins style, but the simple retro style that I like. It looks like it complements the surrounding buildings, but with a touch of chic.
Summer is incomplete without ice powder, this ice powder is rubbed by hand, and you can see the small bubbles inside. Paired with glutinous rice and small glutinous rice balls, I really like it so much. The appearance is super high, and this color scheme is also amazing. Fresh and thirst-quenching, the soft glutinous glutinous rice balls are chewy, and the ice powder is smooth and tender, which is simply a summer special. Compared to milk tea, it will not gain weight.
Three fresh ice powder, ingredients include brown sugar, mash, small glutinous rice balls, and purple sweet potato ice glutinous rice balls, which are super generous. Purple sweet potato glutinous rice balls are chewy and non-sticky, cute and lovely. I like to eat iced glutinous rice balls so much, maybe in summer, as long as it is added to the name, it is very attractive.
This handmade ice powder shop, which was very popular in Taikoo Li before, is now open in Kuixing Building, and it is still not inferior to the past!
The most important thing is that the price is also very cheap! The average price is 10 yuan+, I love it~
Tips: Affordable, can be five
I have long heard that the owner of this store opened this store and not long after he opened this store, he drove a Porsche and put on a Rolex. It is said that the business is so good that there are people queuing up in the early morning. I don't believe it, what kind of magic is there in this store, let's find out today.
After seeing their opening time, I stepped on the point at 11 o'clock, and there were not as many people as the legend at this time. (Chengdu people like to go out in the evening.)
After looking at the price, I was stunned, the bottom of the pot was 15 yuan, the vegetarian dishes were free, and my hands were soft. The frog is very large, the meat is firm and tender, the fish is larger than the palm of the hand, and the fat intestines are soft and chewy. Frogs are smaller than bullfrogs, but they are much tastier than bullfrogs! After eating bullfrogs for so many years, the status of bullfrogs in my heart is already unattainable, but I didn't expect the frog to be a higher level, the meat is tender and flavorful, and it is handled very cleanly.
One pot can also be five pieces, which is quite friendly to a delicious mouth like me who wants to taste everything! Eating these cute little animals and drinking a bottle of the Arctic Ocean, there is really no one left in this little day.
The quality of the dishes is very fresh, and the taste is nothing to say, but the spiciness is not enough for a super invincible spicy patient like me. I heard before that the service here is not very good because of the hot business, thanks to my early arrival this time.
This store is really the fighting chicken in the Chengdu Fly Restaurant! Although it is a fly restaurant, I heard that the owner has recently renovated it, and the environment in the store is clean and tidy, and Jimei who has a cleanliness habit can also go!
I hope that Jimei can see Chengdu, go to Chengdu, feel Chengdu, and fall in love with Chengdu through my words and pictures. (Am my expectations too high haha) "Chengdu, a city that you don't want to leave when you come" is not just a casual statement, but also "a city you want to go to".
Love you cute, I wish you fun, eat happily, and not grow meat.
