Chengdu, a city that doesn't want to leave when you come, I don't know if everyone likes Chengdu, but at least, the friends around me are captured by its scenery, its culture, its food, and those who have been there want to revisit the old place; If you don't go, you always think about it.
When you come to Chengdu, Kuanzhai Alley is always the most talked about place to experience the life of old Chengdu. However, there is another place not to be missed to experience old Chengdu: Fuqin Community!
This is a treasure food area that I stumbled upon at the hotel I stayed at this time! Now I will provide you with my play guide,
[Fuqin Community]
Fuqin Community can be described as a food area of the hidden dragon and crouching tiger. It is not a community, but a large area, collectively known as Fuqin Community, with a lot of delicious food hidden in the streets and alleys. This should be the place that most resembles old Chengdu, and there will also be open-air old tea gardens, where you can drink tea quietly and watch the flow of people, making you marvel at "slower life is life".
There is also Yulin District, which is often talked about in Chengdu, but unlike Yulin now, there are few new forms of things in Fuqin over the years, but those skewers of hot pot that have been open for more than ten or twenty years are still energetic and vivid, and there is no trace of twilight.
impressed me here was Yuan Laosi's hot pot restaurant, with tables set up along the street, and no one could resist the dim atmosphere of the old-fashioned street lights. This side gives people a feeling of traveling through time, as if they are not on the streets of Chengdu in 2020, but in the 90s.
The hot pot here is spicy and hot, the signature dishes are fresh tripe and spicy beef, if you are not a friend who can eat spicy, it is recommended to still be an original dish, It is not unbearably spicy, and it tastes more refreshing than oil dishes. My friend called it spicy and delicious next to me.
[Accommodation Recommendation]
Let's talk about accommodation! Living here, when you crave the excitement, you can walk around the corner to get into the crowd, and when you need tranquility, you can quickly withdraw back to the quiet streets to get along with yourself.
Hotel: Chengdu Qiyashang International Hotel
Address: No. 18 Jinyu Street, Jinniu District , Chengdu [ Shawan Convention and Exhibition Center/Southwest Jiaotong University ]
Environment:
The exterior of Qiyashang is a building on the side of the street, which looks very impressive. Walking into the gate of Qi Yashang, you will find that this building that seems to only have the word "magnificent" is unique: it is full of national cultural characteristics.
Entering the gate of Qi Ya Shang is like entering the door of a museum, with many paintings and ornaments worth appreciating. According to reports, its design is different from the conventional Tibetan style, and it is an architectural style with a variety of cultures, like Sichuan cuisine, which is its own school. It is highly recommended that friends who like national culture come here to stay and experience, where you can not only feel the exquisite national culture and art, but also have the opportunity to appreciate the famous paintings of calligraphers and painters.
This time we stayed in a twin room, sitting by the window, you can have a panoramic view of the street, Then I fell headlong into a dream on the soft bed, which was very comfortable. The room also has a separate bathtub, which is suitable for quietly relaxing while meditating.
Catering:
About the pursuit of food, Throughout the whole day of Qi Yashang.
Therich breakfast in the morning wakes up you sleepy, and even breakfast is a choice of Chinese and Western styles, so you can enjoy a rare leisure and let the food heal.
The special dishes of the meal are made of beef and mutton from Tibetan areas, using the cooking method of new Sichuan cuisine, and the fragrant and spicy flavors of all the seasonings penetrate into it, and when you bite into it, the deliciousness ripples between the lips and teeth, which is indescribably satisfying. We were still thinking about losing weight, but we all started a liquidation operation here.
Of course, how can you come to Chengdu without hot pot! You don't have to go around to do food guides, Qiya Shang Restaurant can satisfy most of your tastes, come here, you can't miss the natural hot pot or something.
But what surprised me the most was the home-cooked food series that our group ate, just like the design style of the hotel, a variety of ethnic cultures blended, our restaurant has Tibetan scenery and ornaments, as well as a European-style fireplace, all kinds of cultures are just right, whether it is architecture or food.
The feeling of colliding multiple ethnic cultures in your mouth is really wonderful. I have to admire Qi Yashang's design ingenuity.
Service:
From the welcome boy to the front desk lady, they are very enthusiastic. It should be said that every service staff you meet is very enthusiastic, and will patiently explain to you the source of the paintings and totems you are curious about.
friend studied architectural design, and she quietly told me later that she loved this hotel too much. I feel that I can learn a lot just from its architectural design and space design.
This trip is mainly to experience the leisure and comfort of Chengdu, so we still went to Chunxi Road and Kuanzhai Alley, which are places where you can experience Chengdu life the most.
【Chunxi Road】
It takes about 20 minutes by taxi from the hotel side to Chunxi Road, and I remember hearing such an evaluation of Chunxi Road before:
Chunxi Road is a street that is both literary and artistic, with fly restaurants and literary shops mixed in, like different notes on the staff, interpreting Chengdu's unique minor tune.
This is also a shopping paradise, on Chunxi Road Street, there are a dazzling array of shops, it is simply the best place to shop, and whether it is a luxury brand store or a people-friendly brand, all grades can be seen. Casually shop here to meet your various shopping needs. Then it is very close to IFS and Taikoo Li, forming a Chunxi Road business district, which can be visited together. The "giant panda" that climbs the stairs at IFS is really super cute. A lot of people are looking up and patting it here.
[Kuanzhai Alley]
When I came to Kuanzhai Alley, in fact, what I was most fascinated by was ear picking! Ear picking is a unique folk craft in old Chengdu, and people who have tried it say that they are happy like a fairy. There are many in Kuanzhai Alley, you must try it when you come, experience how ecstatic it is, after all, it is not easy to experience this kind of folk stunt in other places, and my friends and I really tried it once and fell in love!
In addition, there is a panda post office here, which sells all kinds of panda-related souvenirs. You can also send a postcard from the Panda Post Office, which will be stamped with the cute Panda postmark! My friends and I have chosen several postcards here.
[People's Park]
The most noteworthy thing about People's Park is the "Heming Tea House". In the past hundred years, the style has not changed, and the standard equipment is bamboo chairs, low tables, and gaiwan tea, and the best tea is "fragrant slices".
can spend an afternoon just drinking tea and chatting with friends.
When night fell, our trip was over. To be honest, as soon as I got home, I started looking forward to my next trip to Chengdu. Next time, I would like to come to Qiyashang Hotel for a delicious meal and experience the charm of a wave of national culture and art hotels.
