This year, because of the epidemic, I was forced to stay at home for half a year, and I can't wait to go out on a trip every day. Accidentally swiped a photo of the Wuchazi Bridge of Chengdu Internet celebrity bridge, so I immediately booked a ticket and went on a trip.

The last time I came to Chengdu was five years ago, and when I did a look at the guide, I found that Chengdu has already undergone earth-shaking changes, and the new business district and new Internet celebrity photo spots made me can't help but go and see them. This time I stayed in Chengdu for four days, in order to facilitate the trip, I simply rented a Haval Big Dog for a self-driving tour and checked in a lot of new photo spots. If you also want to take some different photos, you might as well read on!

Chengdu self-driving vlog:

1. Wuchazi Bridge - Realistic version of Mobius Ring

This is going to Chengdu, and one of the most anticipated attractions is the Wuchazi Bridge, which immediately became the hottest check-in place after its completion this year.

Although the name of the bridge seems to be very down-to-earth, after the bridge is lit up at night, the unique lighting design and the "streamlined" beauty of the bridge are instantly presented, full of science fiction futurism. At that time, the designer was inspired by the Mobius ring, which was an infinite symbol ∞ shape if there was a drone overhead shot.

This is a pedestrian bridge, so vehicles cannot pass through, and it is very suitable for hanging out here after dinner to enjoy the night view. The bridge is a bit far from the city, and it took us about 40 minutes to drive the big dog from Chunxi Road. Maybe it's too hot, it's crowded at eight o'clock, and there are many stalls on the bridge, and it's hard to take pictures of no one. If you have enough time, it is recommended to go around 12 o'clock in the evening, there will be fewer people, and the lights will always be on. The alternating yellow and white lights come with a ten-level beauty effect, and the original film is also very cool.

several classic photo angles to share with you:
First, on the west pier, you can take pictures of most of the bridge, which is full of fantasy.
Second, the upper bridge leads to the entrance to the ground floor, and you can also take pictures of buildings in the distance.
Third, there is a staircase in the middle of the bridge, but this is a popular check-in area, and you need to take a seat as soon as possible.

?? Dressing recommendation:
The bridge is full of futurism, it is recommended that you can wear some functional style clothes or solid black and white colors, it is easy to make a blockbuster.

?? How to get there:
Just search for Wuchazi Bridge, it is not convenient to go by subway and bus, it is recommended that you still drive or take a taxi, there is a free parking lot under the bridge.

2. Construction Road and Bridge Cave - Walking into the Time Tunnel

It is already 12 o'clock after visiting the Wuchazi Bridge, and the road is already empty, and it is particularly enjoyable to drive. After thinking about it, on the way back, I decided to take advantage of the lack of people to check in the bridge hole of the space-time tunnel.

Netizens call this place a time tunnel, which is actually just an inconspicuous bridge hole, but against the backdrop of the lights, it is indeed like walking into a tunnel through the capital. It's a light and shadow blockbuster!

As more people check in, it has become more and more popular, and many people often come to take pictures and check in. If you want to take a photo of no one, it is recommended that you can easily take a photo of no one after 23:00 in the evening. By the way, there are two bridge holes, if someone on one side can go to the opposite side to take a look.

The tunnel is a warm yellow light, everyone pays attention to finding the position of light and shadow, aligning the lens, so that the contours of the face and body are best presented in the lens, and you can shoot a perfect blockbuster.

?? Outfit recommendation: It is recommended to wear black or white clothes, or cooler clothes, the light will reflect on the clothes will be very felt.
?? Address: The bridge in front of the Welfare Pharmacy on Jianshe Road, the pedestrian tunnel under the bridge, and tunnels at both ends of the bridge.

3. Memories of the eastern suburbs - make a set of industrial-style blockbusters

I have always been interested in industrial-style buildings, and I happened to find a memory of the nearby eastern suburbs in the hotel, so I immediately drove over to take a look. This is the former site of the former Chengdu state-owned red optical tube factory. Speaking of the older generation of red optical tube factories, it is estimated that few young people have heard of it. China's first black and white picture tube and the first projection picture tube were created here, which was also an object of great historical significance at that time. It has now been transformed into the current music park.

Walking

in the park is full of office buildings, red brick factories, locomotives and railroad tracks aided by the former Soviet Union, full of nostalgia, It's an industrial-style blockbuster.

Old buildings and graffiti can be seen everywhere in the park, turning it into an Internet celebrity check-in point. Walking on the road, you can often see Internet celebrity live singers and Hanfu photography enthusiasts taking pictures here.

Memory Corridor is also a good photo check-in point, if you want to find the imprint of the old industrial era and feel the atmosphere of the old era, you must not miss this place. The panda image full of design in the creative street showcase is super cute!

There are also various cultural and creative trendy shops on both sides, making cool blockbusters at will.

Seeing that it was still early, we temporarily decided to go to the IBOX container base not far away to take a look, looking at the colorful containers in the photos on the Internet, it should work well. I like the 360° panoramic image of the big dog, which is simply a lifesaver for people like me who have difficulty reversing.

4.IBOX-Color Container Base

The two places are very close, to be honest, maybe it's been too long, the container has been a little faded, not as spectacular as when it first came out. IBOX was first released in 2014, it was designed by the original team of BOXPARK in London, England, and was a creative base composed of 22 containers.

However, as six years have passed, the appearance of the colorful containers is not as flashy as it was back then. But fortunately, there are still some shops, but there are almost no tourists, so you can take a few photos slowly.

There

happened to be a pet store in the park, and the owner was walking his dog and couldn't help but play with the dog for a while.

5. Taikoo Li - Trendy Street Photography Mecca

Speaking of the trendiest neighborhoods in Chengdu, Taikoo Li must be indispensable. If you want to look good, you should come here, especially on weekends, there are up-to-date and interesting hipsters dressed up everywhere, such as wearing Hanfu to play skateboarding, boys wearing high heels to go shopping.... Every street photo here is extremely popular, even abroad.

What I like very much about Taikoo Li is that it has achieved a good integration of ancient and modern, both fashion, trend and international brands, as well as the Daci Temple, which is more than 1,600 years old. The two are together but not abrupt, and you can find a teahouse to rest for a while when you are tired of shopping.

The light in Taikoo Li in the evening is beautiful, so take a picture.

6. Bamboo Art Village - a paradise in the sea of bamboo

On the last day in Chengdu, I decided to drive a big dog to the surrounding area, Bamboo Art Village, Daoming Town, Chongzhou City, which is the location of bamboo weaving, China's intangible cultural heritage. As a blocked city, in order to avoid the morning rush hour, we also deliberately got up early and set off early, and watched a beautiful sunrise by the way.

It takes about an hour to drive from Chengdu City, because the time is free, and if you see a beautiful scenery along the way, you will get off the car to take a look. The vegetation coverage around Chengdu is extremely high, and walking on the mountain paths, the air is full of fresh smell. In the afternoon, the forest is full of cicadas, as if you have returned to your childhood.

This road is all mountain roads, fortunately, the overall driving feeling of the big dog is good, in the process of climbing up the hill and when overtaking, the speed is easy, and the body roll is not obvious when cornering continuously. The whole chassis gives a sense of security.

Soon we arrived at the most anticipated Daoming Bamboo Village on this trip, the blue tile roof is ring-shaped, this idea comes from the infinity symbol ∞ of the Taiji Diagram, representing integration and infinity. At that time, I came here for aerial photography, and I found that this place is actually very suitable for a weekend vacation.

It is quite beautiful to park a big dog on a winding road.

TD Bamboo Daily is a restaurant, where you can eat or afternoon tea, generally in the early 100s per capita, According to the staff, it is closed to the public after 5 p.m., so if you want to go, it is best to go during the day, and if you go on weekends, remember to make an appointment in advance.

Entering the lobby, the whole building makes extensive use of logs, bamboo art and floor-to-ceiling glass windows... Even indoors, the beautiful scenery outside the house is unobstructed, and the circular hollow in the middle makes a Chinese landscape.

If you have enough budget, you can consider staying in the Linli B&B behind the restaurant, each room is a small single-family villa, scattered on the back mountain, a true portrayal of "bamboo houses are deep". The design of the room echoes the bamboo culture of the bamboo art village, and the façade is handmade of bamboo, full of texture, and the room price is 2280 yuan/night.

In addition to such a particularly beautiful homestay, you can also see a variety of outdoor pastoral scenery in the village, as well as Ding Zhizhu, Zunsheng Courtyard, Art Museum, Sanjing Academy, etc. can be strolled slowly.

Coming out of the bamboo art village, seeing that it was still early, we decided to drive the big dog to the surroundings. In September, when the rice is ripe, the roadside rice fields are golden, and Jay Chou's "rice fragrance" floats in our minds, and we immediately decided to stop here for a nap.

Living in the city for a long time, seeing the rice fields, with the fragrance of millet in the wind, I feel like I have lived the life I yearn for.

The appearance of the orange metallic paint of the big dog looks very textured, and it has become a good prop for me to pose for photos, haha.

Leaving Zhuyi Village and returning to Chengdu to return the car, my trip to Chengdu has also come to an end, Chengdu is really a city suitable for feeling the slow life and eating and playing, In the past few days, I have driven my new travel companion Haval Big Dog to check in many Internet celebrity attractions in Chengdu, and even had the urge to stay here before leaving.

Next time, if you also want to travel to Chengdu and don't want to be limited by public transportation, you might as well consider choosing to drive like me!
