, a city that can't leave once it comes.

The song Zhao Lei's Chengdu sings full of memories and longing for Chengdu

, and the

only thing that can't take away is you and me walking on the streets of Chengdu...

Walk to the end of the Yulin road and sit at the door of the tavern

.................................

In December, the golden ginkgo biloba leaves covered the entire street

In that beautiful small city I never forgot that the first time you

came, you fell in love with Chengdu, a "gentle" city. In this city, there is a kind of leisure and ease all the time, and the life of urban people is unhurried, relaxed and fun, and they like this slow and very humane and life-like feeling.

Stroll through Chengdu Street Park

In December, Chengdu is full of gold, walking on the streets is full of the thick but just right ginkgo yellow, the warm sun shines on the ground, reflecting on us, saying that it is winter but more like autumn, bidding farewell to Chongqing The short cold cold, the little niece is also very happy.

After lunch, we walked all the way to People's Park, and the places we passed were all eye-catching golden, and the winter here was like a belated autumn, all over the world yellow, It creates a sense of casualness.

People's Park is a must-visit place in Chengdu, no matter what season it is, it has its unique taste, and it is a good place to drink tea, daze, and chat! Enjoy the lotus flowers in spring and summer, and enjoy the ginkgo maple leaves leisurely in autumn and winter.

It is a historical park in the center of the city, and compared with the antique streets of Jinli and Kuanzhai Alley, you can feel the slow life of the local Chengdu people (there are also many tourists) when you come here. Chengdu People's Park, formerly known as Shaocheng Park, was founded in 1911. The origin of Shaocheng Park is directly related to the naming of the city of the old Chengdu, and the original division of the city base of Chengdu was divided into a large city and a small city, as early as 311 BC during the reign of King Hui of Qin, Chengdu had Taicheng (also known as Dacheng) and Shaocheng (also known as Xiaocheng).

Heming Tea House is the best-preserved and largest tea house in the People's Park, which retains the original old Chengdu tea culture, records the changes and history of the tea house, and is also one of the teahouses with the most "ancient flavor of western Sichuan folk customs". Here you can taste the traditional leisure life of Chengdu such as gaiwan tea, playing mahjong, and ear picking, and enjoy the comfortable life of Chengdu people. There are also snacks such as bell dumplings and egg baked cakes.

There

are also a lot of outsiders who come here to check in, and I wanted to sit inside, but found that there was no empty seat, and it was already full of guests, young and old, and it was very lively inside.

Although there are a lot of people here, it does not affect everyone to take pictures, if you want to see ginkgo, it is also a good choice to come here, the ginkgo trees are big and many, but it is recommended that you come in the morning, at this time the ginkgo leaves are sprinkled all over the ground, and the ginkgo leaves are swept away in the afternoon, and there are few people in the morning.

On the side of the tea house is a rippling artificial lake. The lake is clear and plain, the lake cruise ship is rippling, the lakeside hills are lush, and the willows are swaying. Here

you can sit on a bamboo chair all day, basking in the rare sun in Chengdu, while taking a sip of flower tea, suddenly feeling full of lingering fragrance, squinting your eyes to "spend a lot of time".

Coming out of the People's Park, you can walk a few steps to the wide and narrow alley.

Eastern Suburbs Memory/Music Park?

Banbianqiao Street Xindongdamen Rockery Square can be reached by bus No. 4, 30, 57, 98, 43 and 81.

Located at No. 4 Jianjiao South Branch Road, East Ring Road, Chenghua District, Chengdu City, Sichuan Province, was originally the Chengdu East District Music Park, which is a multicultural park that integrates music, art, drama, photography and other cultural forms, an industrial site theme tourist destination, an art and cultural exhibition and performance settlement, a literary and artistic creation exchange park, and a highland of cultural and creative industries in Chengdu.

The

memory of the eastern suburbs is a bit special in the scenic spots of Chengdu, there is neither a dazzling array of food, nor is there a characteristic scenery of Chengdu, but its unique atmosphere has attracted groups of literary and artistic young people to check in, which is mainly a locomotive square, the eastern suburbs memory museum, the starlight wall, the China Mobile wireless music base, the Chengdu stage, and the Jinsong Oriental Art Exhibition Center are integrated into an art and music theme area.

The

predecessor of Dongjiao Memory was actually an old industrial park, which was later abandoned due to relocation and transformation, and a few years ago it was creatively transformed, retaining the former abandoned industry, integrating music, and creating a super distinctive music-themed Internet celebrity attraction, which not only retains the original factory characteristics, but also gives it a new look, the dialogue and collision between the old and the new, the tradition and fashion, the past and the future, so that the memory of the eastern suburbs becomes vivid and vivid.

The

entire park is relatively large, divided into many theme areas, and the visual impact of each element is strong and nostalgic.

There

are also many art exhibitions and music performances, such as animation cones, music festivals, musicals, international conventions and exhibitions, happy twist stage plays...

There

is also a starlight wall in the memory of the eastern suburbs, where stars such as Leehom Wang, Li Chen, Yu Quan, Zhang Liangying and other stars have left handprints, and the cafes, bookstores, bars, etc. in the park are also worth visiting, and there are many music taverns, but they are not noisy at all, but very quiet.

It combines the industrial aesthetics of the planned economy era and the functions of modern commercial buildings, office buildings, multi-storey factories and chimney pipes full of industrial sense at the beginning of the 21st century, creating an artistic atmosphere of nostalgia and fashion in the memory of the eastern suburbs.

CRRC Sharing City/Locomotive Park

A place that none of the locals know about, CRRC Sharing City. It was once a legendary place of China Heavy Industry, inheriting the memory of Chengdu's industry for 68 years; When history and modernity collide with new vitality, it has become the latest check-in holy place at the east gate of Chengdu, so don't miss it when you come!

In April this year, it was officially announced to the public, the factory building became a garden, the train car was transformed into a graffiti paradise, and all the transformations focused on implanting artistic processing into the original architectural structure!

It is divided into several large areas, like a large old factory area, with broken red brick exterior walls and steel structure columns revealing the true beauty of industry! Now this area is still undergoing rework, standing in the factory with a sense of space, the entire factory will become your home.

Locomotive theme park, this is the most childlike place in the park, retaining the original railway tracks, the waste train carriage under the cool graffiti art processing, has become the highlight here, the locomotive and graffiti carriage, can interact with graffiti, and the renovated arrow seesaw, concrete rain drain transformed into a drilling device can take childlike photos.

Four Seasons Garden, after entering the gate of CRRC Sharing City Park, behind a red brick wall similar to the Ruins of St. Paul's is the Four Seasons Garden. The terrazzo on the ground and a red brick wall are retained, and the roof and enclosure walls are removed, clearly showing the steel frame structure of the factory.

Sky corridor, there is an air sightseeing corridor about a kilometer, connecting the Four Seasons Garden and the train square, the overall steel frame structure is the mainstay, full of industrial sense, and very suitable for taking pictures!

Transportation: Metro Line 7 Erxianqiao Station, walk for ten minutes after getting off the station.

Taikoo Li's autumn is

the favorite to walk on the streets of Taikoo Li, which is not as beautiful as winter, and there are colors scattered everywhere, Zhang Yimou once said, Chengdu It's "a city that doesn't want to leave when it comes", and I think he makes a lot of sense.

Chengdu has been known as the "Land of Abundance" since ancient times. "Nine days open a Chengdu, thousands of households and thousands of doors into the map", on the vast historical map of China, Chengdu is the only city whose site and name have not changed since its founding.

Taikoo Li, the fashion center of Chengdu, with its intertwined alleys and open plazas, in order to present different urban pulses, at the same time introduce the concepts of fast and slow, and set up a trend model of an international metropolis. The fun of life, the leisure of the metropolis, the fine dining and the unique atmosphere of history, culture and commerce make it a good time in the heart of a busy city.

Unlike traditional indoor shopping malls, IFS Taikoo Li Chengdu has a unique architectural design. Retaining the old streets and historical buildings, and then integrating into the 2-3 storey single-family buildings, the western Sichuan-style green tile slope roof and grille with a large area of floor-to-ceiling glass curtain walls, Sino-Ocean Taikoo Li Chengdu is both traditional and modern, creating an open and free urban space.

There was also a Great Mercy Temple in ancient times, a paradise in the world. Taikoo Li Daci Temple, hidden in the hustle and bustle of meditation and purity. The Daci Temple (also known as the Ancient Da Shengci Temple) adjacent to Taikoo Li is located in a section of Dongfeng Road in Chengdu City and was built between the 3rd and 4th centuries AD.

This simple, quiet and particularly eye-catching Daci Temple has entered the world from outside the world, and in the business district full of modern atmosphere, it has sent a piece of tranquility to the complex world.

Fangsuo Bookstore/Life in Literature and Art

Chengdu Fangsuo is the first Fangsuo bookstore I checked in, close to Daci Temple, a huge bookstore of 4,000 square meters, hidden in the basement of Taikoo Li, like a magical space independent of the world. The design concept is full of Buddhist wisdom, but the interior of the building reflects the heavy industrial style, such as a dilapidated, heavy concrete, abandoned loft factory building that is not completed and the lighting is dim and dim; Or it makes people feel like they are in Noah's Ark, giving people the touch of entering time and space through a mysterious tunnel, and people at this time are like a drop in the ocean.

"Fangsuo" is a cultural complex based on a bookstore that also covers aesthetic life, plants, clothing, exhibition space, cultural lectures and coffee. It is said that the design of Chengdu Fangsuo is inspired by the concept of the Sutra Pavilion, so you will feel a sense of vastness as the sea when you walk in.

Find a book you like, find a free place to sit down, flip through it slowly, take a look, and have a cup of coffee, even if it is Taikoo Li, the most lively and noisy in Chengdu, is still a mountain and water in its heart.

Ye Si once said: "I hope to return to the era of more poetry reading: 'The lyricism hidden in the chorus with the wind needs to be listened to separately.'" This sentence well summarizes the direction of Fangsuo Bookstore - humanities, art, design, architecture, with 40,000 kinds of Hong Kong and Taiwan books and periodicals, nearly 10,000 kinds of foreign books, and some mainland publications. If you have time, it is recommended to come to see

the address: Shop M68-70, Sino-Ocean Taikoo Li, Chengdu, No. 8, Zhongshamao Street, Jinjiang District, Chengdu, on the first floor, facing the elevator on the left side of Daci Temple.

Business hours: 10:00-22:00.

Transportation: The transportation is very convenient, you can take the subway (Line 2 or 3) to Chunxi Road Metro Station, and then walk for a few minutes.

Eat in Chengdu|Jiyu Thai Seafood Hot Pot

, Jiyu Thai Seafood Hot Pot, yes, yes, It's the super Internet celebrity hot pot restaurant in Chengdu that is full of queues every day and can't eat, you must not miss it when you come to Chengdu, even if you queue up, it is worth it.

Chengdu Internet celebrity food must check in, Jiyu focuses on Thai seafood hot pot, in the hot pot is a combination of appearance and deliciousness, as long as you search on the Internet, you can see that it is ranked first in the hot pot, such a super popularity, the taste quality must not be mentioned! Before I came, I read various reviews saying that there were dozens of tables queuing up every day, with an average queue time of 2-3 hours, and sure enough, I saw that the front of the Jiyu store was full of diners from a distance.

I especially like the INS-style Internet celebrity decoration inside, the green vegetation is all over the inside and outside of the store, reflecting in the fresh color atmosphere, and the breath of the tropical rainforest is coming. At the same time, it is like being in Southeast Asia, which is super suitable for girlfriends and friends to take photos and show off the circle of friends! It's not bad to come here to be an Internet celebrity~

First of all, the soup base of this hot pot restaurant is different from the general spicy hot pot, it is based on the Thai tom yum gong taste, sour and spicy and refreshing, the signature tom yum soup is a must-order, this time we tried the mandarin duck pot, it looks very good, super rich base, with fresh coconut juice to add clear soup is mellow and delicious, this season to drink it to warm the stomach and nourish the skin.

If you come, I don't know how to order the right one, I recommend his set meal, there are two meals, three meals, five people set meals, we ordered a three-person meal, which includes shrimp, golden shellfish, luncheon meat, wild red clams, bamboo shoots studded shrimp, live abalone, squid rings, sabah fish, large oysters, sea crabs, shrimp slides, fat beef + vegetable platter, according to the number of people, the amount of seafood is also different, it is also worth mentioning that his family has a waiter who pushes a cart to fill up with snacks and desserts at any time, And it's free and unlimited supply.

The signature seafood here is crab, prawns, abalone, oysters...... It's really a top fresh and fat, and it's the kind that moves when it's brought to the table, of course, if you don't have enough to eat, you can order seafood a la carte.

With six seasonings, it can meet the tastes of different guests, recommending lemon mint and spicy seafood, the spicy seafood tastes not spicy at all, and the seafood ingredients are super fragrant. When it comes to service, the service of Jiyu is really great, and it will take the initiative to help cook seafood, as well as peel shrimp, etc., for people like me who don't eat shrimp without peeling shrimp, it is a very necessary service hahaha.

In addition to the set meal, there are many delicious dishes such as curry shrimp, grilled scallops, pineapple fried rice, bursting cake, etc., especially the bursting cake, you must try it, the bursting cake is not only delicious and beautiful, but also explosive, remove the protective film outside is a bursting molten rock, take a bite and the feeling of pearls beating, remember a point

hot pot is more common in Chengdu, but it is the first time I have eaten fish hot pot with pebbles, and the fish husband fish pebble fish hot pot is the best in the hot pot, why do you say that? You will understand when you come to eat.

The

fisherman and fish boy located on Zhimin Road seem ordinary, but the inside is very ancient, mainly in the traditional fisherman's style, simple and solemn, with old wooden doors and windows and some farmers' hats and raincoats as decorations, which makes people feel like traveling back to the scene of the fisherman's house in ancient times, antique and full of charm.

At the entrance, there is a row of fish tanks containing different species of fish, mullet, silver carp, river group, naked spot and other varieties of fish, choose the fish you like to eat, and then kill it now, so that it perfectly ensures the freshness of the fish, and finally slice it on a wooden plate, which is exquisite and beautiful.

Interestingly, there is also a small turntable designed on the wooden dining table, which I think is used to place snack side dishes, which is a very thoughtful design and very useful.

There

are three flavors of the bottom of the pot, classic red pot, ancient sauerkraut pot, and lemon ginger pot (if you don't like spicy food, you can choose lemon ginger pot). The waiter brings a pebble iron pot burned to more than 300 degrees Celsius, puts in the cut fresh fish fillets, pours in the broth, covers for a few minutes and enjoys. The fish fillets cooked from pebbles, paired with special fish and butterfly ingredients, are tender and smooth, and extremely delicious.

In addition to fish, the store also has a variety of snacks and side dishes that are also highly recommended, such as honey cherry tomatoes, orange steamed buns, purple rice dumplings, fried river shrimp, etc., If there are a lot of people, you can try it, especially the purple rice dumplings are soft and glutinous, which is super delicious.

Special recommendation This dish, with seven kinds of ingredients, red dragon fruit, raisins, papaya are all available, the portion is full, you can choose the ingredients according to your own preferences, of course, you can also add them all, so that it is more delicious.

The roadside is spicy hot, the old taste, the most Chengdu. "If you want to get rich, build roads first, have fewer children and many trees" Low tables, blue stools, cement floor age wall paintings and slogans, painted full of memories of the 80s, very down-to-earth. The whole nostalgic style seems to really take you back to the streets of the 80s of the last century, taking you to taste the most marketable taste on the side of the road.
