Chengdu is the birthplace of ancient Shu civilization, one of the top ten ancient capitals in China, and a city with profound cultural heritage. There are many scenic spots and cultural landscapes in all corners of Chengdu, both new and old, from the wide and narrow alleys of the Qing Kangxi to the modern memories of the eastern suburbs, etc., oh yes, and our national treasure giant panda. These cultural roots that carry the ages are the soul of a city, and if you want to truly understand a city and fall in love with a city, you must first understand its history and culture.
Kuanzhai AlleyKuanzhai Alley is located near Changshun Street, Qingyang District, Chengdu City, Sichuan Province, consisting of wide alleys, narrow alleys, and well alleys arranged in parallel, all of which are antique courtyards of green and dai bricks and tiles.
In the 57th year of Kangxi, after quelling the Dzunger Rebellion, more than 1,000 soldiers were selected to garrison Chengdu, and the city was built on the basis of the young city of that year. After the fall of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Mancheng was no longer a forbidden area, and the people could come and go freely. A unique pattern was formed in which the descendants of the bannermen, dignitaries, and peddlers and pawns lived all over the city. At this time, the wide alley was called Xingren Hutong, the narrow alley was called Taiping Hutong, and the well alley was called Ruyi Hutong.
After the Xinhai Revolution, Zhao Erfeng, the governor of the Qing Dynasty, then handed over power, demolished the city wall of Shaocheng, and some dignitaries came here to build mansions and private houses, Yu Youren, Tian Songyao, Li Jiayu, Yang Sen, Liu Wenhui and others settled here, and Chiang Kai-shek also came, so that these ancient buildings could be preserved. In the early years of the Republic of China, the city manager at that time changed the hutong to an alley.
The wide alley is a leisure living area and a reproduction of the life of old Chengdu. There is an old Chengdu life experience hall in the wide alley, where the terroir and old Chengdu folk customs are located.
In Chengdu there is a profession called ear picking, that is, ear picking. They can be seen in many famous streets and alleys, and the wide and narrow alleys are no exception. There are three major pleasures among the people: picking ears, pinching feet, and bathing. Ear picking is the use of various ear picking tools to stimulate the inside and outside of the ear piercing, so that people can enjoy and relax after itching and tension! In addition to cleaning ear piercings, it can also play a stress-relieving and hedonic role.
There are many buildings in the narrow alleys from the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, including some Western-style buildings left by churches. The narrow alley is a slow living area, showing the courtyard culture of old Chengdu, most of these courtyards are occupied by stylish bars and restaurants, tourists and literary youths huddle in the alleys, spending the whole afternoon idly, feeling the pause of time.
well alley There are fewer people, close to the south of the narrow alley, the shops here are not as prosperous as the business in the wide and narrow alleys, the biggest attraction is the outer wall of the alley, There is a 500-meter-long brick cultural wall and a 500-meter-long folk photo wall.
Giant panda breeding base
Chengdu Giant Panda Breeding Base is located in Chengdu Axe Mountain, more than 10 kilometers away from the city, there is a wide panda avenue connected to the city, and it takes more than 40 minutes to get there by car. It has now become one of the main bases for ex situ protection of rare and endangered wild animals such as giant pandas in China. Giant pandas, red pandas, black-necked cranes, white storks, white swans, black swans, geese, mandarin ducks and peacocks are raised all year round. Of course, coming to Chengdu must be mainly to see our national treasure giant panda.
When you go to the breeding base to see the giant pandas, you must go early, there will be a period of feeding at noon, the giant pandas will doze off after lunch, and they will hardly have much energy in the afternoon, so it is best to go in the morning. The base area is large and there are many divisions, and many paths are winding and easy to get lost, but there are many domestic and foreign teams visiting the panda base, and it is right to follow behind, and by the way, you can also listen to the explanation for free.
I arrived at the panda base at around 10 o'clock in the morning, and some red pandas had begun to doze off, crawling motionless on the ground.
Red pandas are generally shy, hiding in tree holes and refusing to come out by so many people, and sticking their heads out from time to time to satisfy people's curiosity.
In contrast, the giant panda has seen a lot in the world, I eat mine, you take a picture of yours, one from the front, one from the side, you are happy. It looks like an idol star.
But to be honest, the upper limbs of giant pandas are really dexterous, and the posture of grabbing bamboo shoots is particularly skillful, taking one after eating, coupled with a round figure, it is also a complete foodie. Don't look at it cute and cute, but it never swallows dates for food, picks up the bamboo shoots, peels off the outer part layer by layer with its teeth, and only eats the shoots inside, which is also a tasteful foodie, is it?
Giant pandas belong to the order Carnivores, Bear family, subfamily of giant pandas, and the only mammals of the genus Giant Pandas. That's right, it's a carnivore, in fact, 90% of people don't know, in fact, giant pandas originally ate meat, after evolution, 99% of the food is bamboo, but the teeth and digestive tract are still intact, so they are still classified as carnivores.
Juvenile red pandas, like children, like to play and chase each other. They have round cheeks, big dark circles, chubby bodies, the iconic inner horoscope walking, and sharp claws like scalpels.
Giant pandas have lived on the earth for at least 8 million years and are known as "living fossils" and "Chinese national treasures", and when traveling to Chengdu, you must come here to check in and see these cutest animals in the world up close.
Eastern Suburbs Memory
Located at No. 4 Jianjian South Branch Road, outside the east side of the second ring road in Chenghua District, Chengdu City, the Eastern Suburbs Memory is the original Chengdu East District Music Park, which gathers music, art, drama, photography and many other cultural forms, and is a diversified cultural park.
It combines the industrial aesthetics of the planned economy era with the functions of modern commercial buildings, and is compatible with the office buildings built by the Soviet Union in the 50s of the 20th century, office buildings in the early 21st century, multi-storey factories and chimney pipes with a sense of industry, creating an artistic atmosphere of nostalgia and fashion in the memory of the eastern suburbs.
The unique eucalyptus trees and sycamore trees of the original Chengdu Hongguang Tube Factory are retained, and the previously waste machine tools, glass shell semi-finished products, waste tanks, and pipes are also used to transform them into artistic sketches, creating an artistic atmosphere with both nostalgic and fashionable memories in the eastern suburbs. Tourists can feel the charm of industrial sites in an all-round way, experience the changes in urban development, and reminisce about the memories of the past years in the Eastern Suburbs Memory Park.
[Western Sichuan Chapter]
Aba County, located at the junction of Gansu, Qinghai and Sichuan provinces, has a unique geographical location that has given birth to a distinctive national culture and beautiful scenery.
According to the "Chronicle of the Sacred Mountains of Nianbo Yese", the "Lotus Treasure Leaf" sacred mountain located in the south of the holy land of Amdo in Eastern Tibet is one of the top ten sacred mountains in Tibet. When the rising sacred mountain enters the eleventh place, it is the time when the sacred mountain enters the kingdom of heaven, and the sacred "Lotus Treasure Leaf" sacred mountain is very honored, and with the mercy and protection of the Buddha, it has risen to the eighth place, ranking first among the sacred mountains in the Amdo region.
The destination of this trip is Lianbao Yeze in Aba County, western Sichuan, and it takes ten hours from Chengdu to reach Aba County.
Lianbao Yeze/Stone Mountain
The "Lotus Leaf" sacred mountain is located in the southwest of Aba County, and it takes about 60 minutes by car. According to the "Chronicle of the Sacred Mountain of Lianbao Yeze", the area of Lianbao Yeze is the ancient battlefield of King Gesar's conquest, and many stories of King Gesar are still passed down. The lotus treasure leaf is not only a world full of fantasy and unpredictable strange peaks and rocks, but also a masterpiece of nature full of infinite reverie.
Haizi is the local name for the inland lakes in Qinghai, Tibet, and the lakes in the Lianbaoye Scenic Area are dotted and can be seen everywhere, and the first landscape Haizi is called Taizang Gecuo, which means crystal clear lake. When the light and shadow are just right, the surrounding peaks are reflected in the lake, clearly visible, the mountains and rivers are integrated, and they are beautiful.
In front of Taizang Gecuo is Qudengtuo, also called Baita Lake. The white pagoda next to the lake is majestic and upright, reflecting the lake, and the lake and mountains are full of poetry. It is a great place for photography.
Lotus Treasure Leaf means "dignified jade peak" in Tibetan, with a majestic and majestic mountain, and a variety of strange stones.
For example, this boulder is reclining like a tiger on a grassy hillside. How did it appear here? This boulder is called the "flying stone". There is also a legend that it was kicked down from the stone mountain by King Gesar, which is very interesting.
There is also the combination of trees and stones, which grow in stones and still thrive, which is truly a wonderful thing.
There are more vivid natural stone landscapes behind, such as General Rock, Bajie Enlightenment, Camel Peak, Eagle Strike in the Sky, Kiss for a Thousand Years, etc., each of which is vivid, step by step, is a masterpiece of nature's magic.
The last and most amazing is "Zagarcuo". "Zhagar" means white rock, "white" represents holiness and auspiciousness in Tibetan culture, and "Cuo" means lake. "Zagaercuo" is the lake of holiness. "Zhagar" covers an area of about 3 square kilometers and is a typical glacial glacial erosion basin formed by water accumulation. Every summer, "Zhagarcuo" is crystal clear, and the mountains reflect in the lake, and the rigidity and softness are like a dream; Every winter, the lake freezes, like a huge mirror, shining on the sun, moon, mountains and rivers, which is picturesque.
"Zhagarcuo" is a sacred lake in the hearts of Tibetans. According to legend, "Zagarcuo" is a drop of holy water thrown by Guanyin Bodhisattva when illuminating sentient beings, the holy water absorbs the essence of heaven and earth, gathers the spirit of the snow-capped mountains, and gradually converges into a lake that penetrates the soul, continuously delivering holy nectar to the downstream mountains, villages, and living beings, nourishing the growth of all things and purifying the ordinary soul.
It is said that as long as a devout person circles around the holy lake, his heart will be purified and he will receive happy blessings, which is very effective. People who are particularly destined can also see the figures of gods and their souls in the mountains and in the water when the weather is clear or the clouds are drifting.
Pure Land Brahma/Gomo Temple
The next morning, we set off for Gemo Monastery, which is one of the three major Gelug monasteries of Tibetan Buddhism, and one of the branches of Labrang Monastery, also known as Huiyuan Monastery.
Walking into the monastery, the distinctive Gelug Tibetan style building is majestic and solemn. There are five halls in the courtyard, the highest one in the middle, entering the main hall, photography is not allowed inside, there are special tour route instructions, and loud noise is not allowed. There are many incense table candlesticks in the hall, surrounded by thangkas and magic instruments, which are indescribably quiet and peaceful.
Although photography is not allowed inside the hall, it is okay outside, these Gelug buildings, vermilion is particularly conspicuous, and the check-in and taking photos are particularly artistic against the backdrop of light and shadow.
wetland grassland/Manze Pond
Leave Gemo Temple and head to Manzetang Wetland. Along the road are infinitely beautiful Tibetan scenery, green shade like wilderness, herds of cattle and sheep, plus the good weather of thousands of miles of clear sky, as if walking in a painting. The driver was driving while playing cheerful music, the road behind was not very smooth, even so, it did not stop the good mood of galloping, the car was like a wild horse that had run away from the endless grassland.
The Manzetang Wetland includes grasslands in Melma, Jialuo Township, Jiake Ranch and other places, with an average altitude of about 3,400 meters. There is a vast and boundless grassland in the scenic area, where the green grass and the flowers and seagrass carpets are very beautiful, which is an excellent pasture in the northern Tibetan area of western Sichuan, and it is also a plateau wetland at the source of the Yellow River system. The winding river stretches across the wetland grassland, like a flying ribbon, reflecting the colors of the blue sky and white clouds, which is beautiful as far as the eye can see.
Spread out a mat, set up a tent, and have a lunch with such a beautiful view.Food beauty, free air, and happy mood are happening in Manzetang Wetland, and the most surprising and comfortable trip is nothing more than this.
The sky is vast and boundless, and the wind blows the grass to see cattle and sheep. The beautiful Manzetang wetland grassland, the blue sky and white clouds as the quilt, the earth pasture as the bed, countless yaks and wild animals, freely inhabit this ultimate scenery, this is also the place where Tibetans live, it is home and paradise.
paradise/divine seat village
takes 2 hours to travel from Manzetang Wetland to the next destination, Shenzuo Village, and I set off at 3 p.m. and took a beautiful nap in the car. Shenzuo Village is an original natural scenic spot, with both forestry, animal husbandry and agriculture, quiet and peaceful, especially suitable for people to live and live, and is an original ecological "paradise". The first time I heard the name of Shenza Village, I thought it was very fairy, and I thought that this name was taken by later people, in fact, it has been called Shenza since ancient times, just like the kindness and simplicity of Shenza Village from ancient times to the present, this village has only 73 households, backed by alpine grasslands, and across the river from the endless primeval forest.
There is an observation deck on the high ground of the village, which has the reputation of being the most beautiful viewing platform in Sichuan, overlooking the panoramic view of the entire village and its surroundings. Climbing up along the plank road built in the village, because of the altitude, it will be very tiring to climb up, but the beautiful scenery does not live up to our expectations. The mountain on which the observation deck is located is Goddess Mountain. This sacred mountain has a very beautiful legend. The divine seat is known for the goddess Gabanam and the divine seat girl, and the beauty of the god seat girl has become a legend in the Amdo Tibetan area, and the god seat is brought by a beautiful female mountain god. Opposite the Goddess Mountain is the male god mountain, and the two sacred mountains face each other across the river, jointly guarding the village of the god.
Shenza Village is a sea of flowers, whether in the village or on the hillside, all kinds of alpine flowers bloom, like a large natural garden, beautiful and unforgettable.
scenery/Tongyang Peak
arrived at Tongyang Peak at five o'clock in the afternoon, which is a very high hillside, and the origin of the name is probably because of this, the top of the mountain that is very close to the sun. There is a wooden plank road from the parking lot to the observation deck, and at the end of the plank road is a restaurant on one side, and on the other side are two connected viewing platforms, with a wide view of the platform, with chairs for resting, surrounded by endless green fields, and the smoke rising from the homes of resident herdsmen.
There is a bigger surprise hidden behind the restaurant, at the end of the wooden plank road, there is a shocking scenery, under the blue sky and white clouds, overlooking the majestic Langyi Temple, lying quietly on the green hill, The shadows of the clouds floated over the colorful roof, flashing golden light from time to time.
The restaurants in Tongyangding offer a variety of flavors, Western, Chinese, Tibetan, etc., and when you come to Aba, you must of course taste the local specialties of Tibetan cuisine. Yak meat, milk tea, Tibetan hot pot, pepper and hemp chicken, homemade yogurt, beef shumai...... Authentic Tibetan flavor, traditional Tibetan way of eating, this is the most memorable taste of traveling in western Sichuan.
