Chengdu, referred to as "Rong", also known as Rongcheng and Jincheng, is the capital of Sichuan Province, a sub-provincial city, a megacity, and the core city of the Chengdu-Chongqing Twin Cities Economic Circle.

Chengdu is located in southwest China, the western part of the Sichuan Basin, and the hinterland of the Chengdu Plain, with flat terrain, river network, rich products, and developed agriculture. King Tai of Zhou named Chengdu after "one year of gathering, two years of Yi, and three years of Chengdu" ; Shu Han, Cheng Han, Former Shu, Later Shu and other regimes successively built their capitals here; It has always been the seat of the state and county seats of various dynasties; Han is one of the five major metropolises in the country; Tang is one of the most developed industrial and commercial cities in China, known in history as "Yang Yi Yi Er"; The Northern Song Dynasty was the second largest metropolis outside Bianjing, inventing the world's first paper money Jiaozi. It has scenic spots such as Dujiangyan, Wuhou Temple, and Du Fu Thatched Cottage, and is the best tourist city in China.

The first step to Chengdu is to book a hotel, and the editor recommends Jinjiang Star, which has a simple style and is economical. Definitely make you feel at home. And it's close to all the attractions.

Chengdu, a city that doesn't want to leave when you come, a "leisure capital" that slows down time.

Chengdu's culture can be summed up in eight words, "advance and retreat freely, rise and fall at ease".

There are many teahouses in Chengdu's parks, and Chengdu people like to drink tea and play mahjong in a natural environment. The prevalence of some opera teahouses allows tourists to see authentic Sichuan opera performances while drinking tea.

Sunshine, mahjong, and teahouses are the best things Chengdu people want in life.

The city has all the elements that make people love, food, beautiful scenery, beauty, especially every corner of the city, all of which render its leisurely, optimistic, quiet, prosperous and free and easy unique characteristics. Maybe when you are about to leave, you will find that Chengdu's tourism slogan - "a city that you don't want to leave when you come" is by no means a narcissistic boast.

On the first day of arriving in Chengdu, you must go to the Wuhou Temple in the morning.

Wuhou Temple: National AAAA-level tourist attraction, national first-class museum

is located in Wuhou Temple Street, South Gate of Chengdu, Sichuan Province. It is an ancestral hall commemorating Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of Shu Han during the Three Kingdoms period of China. It is the only temple in China where monarchs and ministers are worshipped together, the most prestigious memorial site for Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei and the heroes of Shu Han, and it is also the most influential museum of the Three Kingdoms in the world.

After feeling the influence of the culture of the Three Kingdoms, we went out and took a taxi for ten minutes to reach our second stop in Chengdu: Kuanzhai Alley

Kuanzhai Alley is a commercial pedestrian street with Chinese characteristics and a famous historical and cultural street in Sichuan Province

Kuanzhai Alley is located near Changshun Street, Qingyang District, Chengdu, Sichuan Province, consisting of wide alleys, narrow alleys, well alleys parallel arrangement and residential houses between streets, all of which are antique courtyards of green bricks and tiles.The area where Kuanzhai Alley is located was the place where the Eight Banners lived during the Qing Dynasty, and there are currently a variety of cultural, catering and leisure shops operating here. The leisure of old Chengdu and the fashion of new Chengdu are all in the alleys.

Believe me, you must come out with a big belly, after all, this is a foodie's paradise.

There are too many things to eat in the wide and narrow areas, rabbit head, bell dumplings, dan dan noodles, dragon chao hands, sweet water noodles... After leaving the wide and narrow alleys, you can check in the giant panda breeding research base.

The giant panda breeding research base simulates the wild ecological environment of giant pandas by gardening, and now covers an area of 1,000 acres, with a green coverage rate of 96%, and has built an ecological environment suitable for the habitat and reproduction of giant pandas and a variety of rare wild animals. More than 80 giant pandas and rare animals such as red pandas, black-necked cranes, and white cranes are kept in captivity all year round.

The next day, you can take a leisurely stroll around Chunxi Road in the morning, Chunxi Road and Taikoo Li, which is one of the most dynamic business districts in Chengdu, although it is not as folk as Jinli or Kuanzhai Alley, nor is it as cute and round as the giant panda base, but there is no doubt that Chunxi Road and Taikoo Li are one of the fashion synonyms of Chengdu. Chunxi Road and Taikoo Li are the most concentrated gathering of handsome guys and beauties, Internet celebrity stores and popular food in Chengdu.

Walking on the street of Chunxi Road, if you see someone looking up and taking pictures of something, it must be the panda climbing the wall on the top floor of IFS. This Internet celebrity wall climbing panda is named: I Am Here. Unlike ordinary round rolls, this panda is made of reinforced concrete and designed by American designer Lawrence Argent. You can use this pose to look at its panda buttocks on Chunxi Road, or you can go up to the roof of IFS to see the face of I Am Here, believe me, you will fall in love with it.

Of course, I have to go to People's Park in the afternoon, which is full of flowers and beautiful in spring.

Enjoy the flowers, invite three or five friends to drink baba tea and rub mahjong. Enjoy a leisure time exclusive to Chengdu people.

Watch time pass in front of your eyes, yes, this is the daily life of the people of Chengdu.

When it's time for dinner, grab your relatives and friends and go to Jianshe Road Snack Street! Enjoy the satisfaction of various delicacies exploding in your mouth

>It's not that I'm proud of the people of Chengdu, the snacks in it are basically lined up in a long queue, that's the people's recognition of them! Wolf tooth potatoes, overlord pork ribs, bowl chicken, roasted brain flowers, chicken wings wrapped in fat sausages... There is basically no way to survive on this street with mine craters, so you can rest assured to queue up and buy with confidence.

Traveling, it should be eating, drinking and having fun, I believe I will come to Chengdu! After all, there are so many things I haven't introduced, Happy Valley - pursuing the stimulation of young people, Dujiangyan - worshiping the wisdom and greatness of the ancients, Qingcheng Mountain - singing the white lady enjoying the magnificence of natural landscapes, and so on.
