Live Your Best Lives
8 days, per capita cost: 3,000 yuan. Travel time: early June Departure point: Hohhot, Inner Mongolia
For Chengdu, my biggest feeling is leisure, therefore, the best way to travel in Chengdu is to wander as you like, Chengdu subway is developed, which can fully meet the needs of going wherever you want, if you are tired of shopping, find a park, ask for a bowl of tea, look at the green trees around you, Ba is very comfortable. Parks in Chengdu can be seen everywhere, almost every street, every intersection has parks of different sizes, and there are teahouses in every park, and the prices are close to the people. Compared with Chengdu, Chongqing gives people a lively overall feeling, hotter than Chengdu, and more people. Chengdu is imperial, and Chongqing is market. Traveling is not about visiting all the famous attractions, but about going your own way and having fun. (Also: Due to the theft of the mobile phone, some travel photos were found, but they were relatively blurry, please understand.)
1. Recommended for this itinerary:
1. Attractions: Sichuan: (1) Du Fu thatched cottage, Huanhuaxi Park, feel the poetry of the poem and the country. (2) Red walls (Du Fu thatched cottage, Wuhou Temple, Wenshu Monastery, wearing black, white or small flowers, all very good-looking, beautiful photos). (3) Dujiangyan, feel the wisdom of the ancients. (4) Leshan Giant Buddha, sacred and shocking.
Chongqing: The first promotion of "Watson Garden Golden Cake Kingdom", suitable for girls and children to visit attractions, rent a princess dress, take beautiful photos, can satisfy girls' princess dreams. The night view of Hongya Cave is beautiful, you must go; Zhongshuge, Sichuan Mei Graffiti Wall, Li Ziba, look at my personal like, the attractions in Chongqing are very beautiful to look at other people's photos, I also came to see it, and it was good to take pictures, but the direct visual experience is very ordinary.
2. Food: Chengdu: (1) Dad's stir-fried steak old hot pot (rich and fresh dishes, desserts are amazing) (2) Dongzikou Zhang Lao Er jelly powder (sweet water surface is delicious) (3) Palace pastry shop (pastries are rich and delicious, cheap
)Leshan: (1) Fangfang stomp beef (the soup is really delicious) (2) Chuanmei ice powder (the best ice powder in the whole trip) (3) King duck sweet duck (his family is authentic, Locals basically buy his house) (4) Li Laosan fried skewers (oily but not greasy, with egg fried rice, delicious and unstoppable, beef, corn kernels, palm treasure favorites).
Chongqing: (1) Dayang Department Store (this is a shopping mall, the reason why it is recommended here is because, it is very popular in the night market, there is a long list of snacks in line, almost all of them are sold here, and the attractions are generally transferred here, so don't rush to go, if you happen to be hungry, you must come here to eat some snacks, a yogurt cow recommends the "Fruit Duoduo" series, all kinds of copies in Wu Chaoshou are delicious, the dried tofu here is very large, you can pick up all kinds of things) (2) Zhen Ji black and white meat and tofu pudding (the pot is clear soup.) , There are all kinds of dipping sauces, the dipping sauce is spicy, you can dip or not, it is very friendly to people who can't eat spicy, the taste is light, I like it more) (3) Hu Ji Hoof Flower Soup (delicious) (4) Shancheng Laotangkou (Sichuan cuisine, I don't know if it's authentic, anyway, I think it's delicious) In fact, it doesn't matter whether it's authentic or not, and there is no need to look for the kind of small restaurant recommended by the locals, how to be authentic, and how to be a remote restaurant, because as a foreigner, you may not be used to eating, and the road in Chongqing, You may really be able to walk around for an hour or two and still can't find a place, and there is no need to say that you regret not eating the most authentic one, in fact, if you like this place, you can come again next time.
3. Accommodation recommendation: Chengdu: Near Caotang (Jinjiang Star Caotang store is the best among all Jinjiang Stars I have stayed in, from the environment to the location) Leshan: Near Jiaxiang Road, a food street. Chongqing: Near the Jiefang Monument, it is convenient to travel and eat.
4. If you want to visit the attractions, it is recommended to buy tickets from China-TravelNote one day in advance, so that you can enter the scenic spot by swiping your ID card the next day, eliminating the trouble of queuing up to buy tickets.
5. The main way to travel in Chengdu is subway and shared bicycles, Chongqing relies on walking, if you really can't find it, call Didi, don't rent.
2. Itinerary
day1 6.6
In themorning, take a plane to Chengdu at 10 a.m., and then take the subway to the hotel, stay at Jinjiang Inn (Chengdu Du Fu Thatched Cottage Store), this store is strongly recommended, although there is also a certain distance from Du Fu Thatched Cottage, but it is very close to the subway line, convenient to travel; There are fruit shops around, as well as Chengdu's supermarket chain Hongqi convenience store, which is also very convenient to buy things; The hotel is located in a compound in a secluded alley, very quiet, with good environment and clean hygiene.
At noon, I had a meal at "Daddy Fried Steak Old Hot Pot (Caotang Store)" (an authentic Sichuan hot pot led by local classmates), I personally think this is the best hot pot restaurant in the whole trip, the dishes are very complete, especially the desserts are amazing, the point is that there is no queue!
(Dad's fried dessert: iced glutinous rice balls, it's delicious)
After eating, walk to "Du Fu Thatched Cottage", the ticket is 50 yuan.The thatched cottage is a scenic spot with both natural and cultural scenery, especially the red wall of the thatched cottage, which is beautiful, unlike the red wall of other places, the red wall of the thatched cottage is relatively short, echoing the lush forest and bamboo in the back, which is refreshing. The red wall of the thatched cottage is in the "flower path", a little off, if you can't find it, ask the staff, you can't miss it!
(Scenery in the thatched cottage)
(Du Fu Thousand Poems Stele).
(restoration of ancient books).
(Photo of the red wall of the grass hall)
Come out of the grass hall to Huanhuaxi Park, Huanhuaxi Park is next to Du Fu's thatched cottage, among which there are many attractions, the first is the "Poetry Avenue", which is not to be missed by those who learn Chinese.
(Gaiwan tea in Huanhuaxi Park).
Go to the "Kuanzhai Alley" for dinner at night, I personally think that Kuanzhai Alley is not worth going, the snacks sold in it are the same all over the country, the price is high, the taste is poor, especially the ice powder, it is simply difficult to swallow, so if the itinerary is tight, you can not go, Jinli is also an old street in Chengdu, whether it is in terms of goods, food or scenery is much better than Kuanzhai Alley.
(taking pictures in wide and narrow alleys)
day2 6.7
Breakfast at a nearby noodle restaurant in the morning, Chengdu's chopsticks, chicken offal noodles, covered noodles, etc. are all delicious, and any small shop does a good job.
Then take the high-speed rail to Dujiangyan (the high-speed rail has to buy a ticket for "Lidui Park Station", the station is very close to the scenic spot, walking, bus, and shared bicycles can go to the scenic spot, don't take a black car, very close. Qingcheng Mountain and Dujiangyan are together, friends who like to climb the mountain suggest a day of playing, my husband and I don't like to climb the mountain, so we went directly to Dujiangyan, Dujiangyan is recommended to ask a tour guide, otherwise after walking for a long time, I don't know where the fish mouth is and where the fish tail is. There are sightseeing cars in the scenic area, if the weather is not hot, it is recommended to walk to visit, the scenic spot is not large, the environment is excellent, the bamboo forest is dense, it is the best choice for taking pictures.
(Dujiangyan Scenic Area)
In the afternoon, I took the high-speed train back to Chengdu and went to the "Taoty Forest" restaurant for dinner. On the whole, the dishes are heavy oil and spicy, and friends with light tastes will not be able to stand it.
(饕林仔 ginger fried frog)
Go to Taikoo Li at night, which mainly deals in luxury goods, and also has some delicacies. Chengdu is an Internet celebrity incubation base, and Taikoo Li can be said to be the main position of the base, I personally have no feeling about it, so I don't think Taikoo Li is very interesting.
day3 6.8
Early in the morning, I went to the "Chengdu Giant Panda Breeding Research Base", the ticket was bought from China-TravelNote in advance, and after booking the ticket, I directly swiped my ID card to enter the park, and I didn't need to pick up the ticket. The scenic spot opens at 7:30, but be sure to go early! Be sure to go early! Be sure to go early! Also, pay attention to the weather, rainy days, or too high temperatures, panda cubs will not be released, so coming here also depends on the opportunity. If you go to queue up to enter the scenic spot, because if you go late, the giant panda cubs will be put away, even if they are not put away, there are people in front of you, almost nothing can be seen, and from ten o'clock to ten o'clock, the giant pandas are sleeping and motionless. There are many attractions in the scenic area, the moon delivery room is the most interesting, there will be some giant panda cubs in it, the cubs are usually released at eight o'clock, so friends who go early will wait around the moon delivery room, if you are lucky, you can see panda cubs fighting, climbing trees, eating bamboo, very interesting. There are also red pandas in the garden, both free-range and captive, and you can interact with them.
(moon delivery room).
(red panda)
After visiting the panda base at about half past ten, I returned to the city, because I thought the "dad stir-fry" on the first day was delicious, so I went to eat "Houtang Old Hot Pot" again His family has more pot bases, sauerkraut and tofu pudding pot is good, and it is very friendly to friends who don't eat spicy food, but the dishes and desserts are obviously
much less than "Daddy Stir-fry".
(Hou Tang Old Hot Pot)
In the afternoon, I went to the Wuhou Temple, I was personally not interested in the Three Kingdoms, and I had already been there when I came to Chengdu before. So I didn't go in, there is a long, long red wall outside the Wuhou Temple, haha, I came here to take pictures.
After taking photos, when it gets dark and the lights are on, go to Jinli to experience Chengdu's nightlife.
day4 6.9
It rainedlightly in Chengdu on this day, cool and not cold, go to Wenshu Temple in the morning, there is a commercial street near Wenshu Temple, there is a typical southern street feeling, the trail is clean, and the trees are shady.
(Wenshu Temple Commercial Street).
The hottest snack on the commercial street is "Dongzikou Zhang Lao Er jelly", his "sweet water surface" is delicious, but it varies from person to person, the noodles are a little sweet, friends who don't like sweets may think it is very ordinary. There is also the famous "palace pastry shop" in Chengdu (Wenshu Monastery is the main store), there are many types of high points, and they are also very cheap, you can bring a little to relatives and friends, there are express delivery points nearby, you can mail them directly, I love butterfly crisps and egg yolk pot rice cakes the most.
(sweet water surface)
The red wall of Wenshu Temple is also a must-see place. The red wall of Wenshu Monastery is similar to the red wall of Wuhou Shrine, but the red wall of Wenshu Monastery is more worth coming because of "blessings". If you are not interested in the Three Kingdoms, you can come here directly, and you don't have to go to the Wuhou Temple to check in.
(Red Wall of Manjushri Temple).
In the afternoon, I went to the "Chengdu Shu Brocade Embroidery Museum" (relatively close to where I lived, although I found it by chance while wandering, but I think it is worth it), which will sell some Shu embroidery and Shu brocade, if you like it, you can bring it, the price varies, and there is also a docent, who will explain the weaving and embroidery process of Shu embroidery and Shu brocade.
(Chengdu Shu Brocade Embroidery Museum).
In the afternoon, I took the high-speed rail to Leshan, where there were so many delicacies, and the first meal was arranged with stomp beef. I went to "Fangfang Stomp Beef" (Jiaxiang Road store, there are all kinds of snacks on a street on Jiaxiang Road, Sichuan Sister Ice Powder, Bowl Chicken, there are all here, you can find it along the road, it is recommended to choose accommodation here), his family is more popular on the Internet, but the praise and criticism are mixed, I think it's not bad, the soup is relatively light, but not bland, the meat quality is also good, the blood is average, and the hot pot is not as delicious as freshly cooked. The bowl chicken business is also very hot, but I can't eat spicy, so I didn't try it, "Chuanmei Ice Powder" is the best ice powder I think I have on this trip, especially the "Three Fresh Ice Powder", which looks light but tastes great.
(Stomp Beef)
day5 6.10
In the morning, Didi goes to Leshan Scenic Area, first buy a ferry ticket to see the Big Buddha from a distance, and then enter the scenic spot to visit (the order of the scenic spot tour is generally north in and east, because Buddhism pays attention to not going back, but if you want to go out from the east gate, you also need to buy tickets for another scenic spot in the scenic spot "Oriental Buddha Capital", which has the world's largest reclining Buddha, Guanyin Cave, but it needs to be explained, otherwise it will feel very boring to walk around. It takes about half a day to visit Leshan Scenic Area, which has temples, as well as "Dongpo Building" and "Su Garden" related to Su Shi.
(Dongpo Building, which contains Su Shi's poems).
After coming out of the east gate, I drove Didi back to the hotel, and the Didi driver I met was very enthusiastic and took us to buy the most authentic "sweet duck" in Leshan: "King Duck Sweet Duck", which had a little sweet taste, which was really delicious. After listening to the driver's introduction, I went to eat the "Li Laosan Fried Skewers" that the locals prefer, his house is very popular, and there is a whole street in line during the peak season. (Corn kernels, beef skewers, palm treasures are the best)
(Li Laosan fried skewers).
(King Duck Sweet Duck)
took the high-speed train to Chongqing in the afternoon, and arrived in Chongqing relatively late, living near the Jiefang Monument, which is a commercial street, It is very convenient to eat and drink, and it is relatively close to the subway.
day6 6.11
In themorning, I took the light rail to the famous Zhongshu Pavilion (Harry Potter Bookstore), and there were many people, all of whom came to take pictures.
At
noon, I went to the nearby "Zhen Ji Black and White Meat and Tofu Pudding", asked for the "Pork Rib Pot", the pot is divided into a small pot and a large pot, more than five people need a large pot, and you can also add tofu pudding, vegetables, staple food (these are self-service, each person will charge 6 yuan), the pot is relatively light, friends who can't accept spicy can try, the taste is very good, take the tofu pudding soup and add a little tofu pudding to soak in rice, the taste is super good.
(black and white meat and bean curd)
In the afternoon, I went to Liziba to visit Chongqing's most famous light rail.
(Plum Dam).
Then I went to Dayang Department Store to eat dried tofu, wontons, and a yogurt cow (mixed reviews, I still think it's quite delicious, the key is to get the right thing, the "Signature Purple Rice" series is really average, the best thing in his family should be the "Fruit Duoduo" series, especially the "Passion Pineapple and Pineapple Yogurt", which is delicious after drinking one cup and want to drink a second cup). The dried tofu is also very delicious, very large, and you can add all kinds of things, such as tenderloin bacon and the like, there are many types of "Wu Chao Shou" and the taste is good.
(taro bark).
(one yogurt cow).
Go to Hongya Cave at night, Hongya Cave is a free scenic spot, you can enter by scanning the code, and any charged project is a scam. Walking inside, there is a feeling of "you stand on the bridge and watch the scenery, and the people watching the scenery look at you under the bridge", because the night view of Hongya Cave is to be seen on the road facing the scenic spot, and the scenic spot sells all kinds of snacks (don't buy it, it's hard to eat), as well as restaurants, and also sells some gadgets.
(Hongya Cave)
day7 6.12
In themorning, I had breakfast near the hotel, and then took the subway to the Sichuan Mei Graffiti Wall, which is the most distinctive "Le is the fog" and "I love Chongqing"
(graffiti wall).
At noon, I went to "Hu Ji Hoof Flower Soup" for dinner, his house is very hot, it is best not to rush to dinner, a little early, otherwise the queue will be a long time. A hoof flower soup contains a whole hoof flower, as well as stewed soft and rotten peas, the hoof flower soup is really fresh and delicious, but his rice is difficult to eat, rice can be ordered less, drink more soup.
(hoof flower soup).
In the afternoon, I went to what I think is the most worthwhile attraction in Chongqing, "Watson Garden Golden Cake Kingdom", there are large and small castles here, but whether it is from taking pictures or from my own play experience, I have to rent a princess dress to feel it, just like I really walk in the castle like a princess, I think this is every girl's dream. Enter the scenic spot and walk along the road, about 100 meters away there is a rental of clothes, and it is also the first to rent clothes in the scenic area, remember to rent it at his house, his clothes are clean and there are many types, a body is 50 yuan, regardless of time, there will be matching headdresses, but it does not include makeup, nor does it include photography, so you have to put on your own makeup. Further inside, there are rented clothes + taking pictures, but they are more pitted, and the photos are not good, and as long as they are photographed, whether you want them or not, you will have to charge, so if your companions have good photography skills, you can take pictures with each other.
(Watson Garden Golden Cake Kingdom)
In the evening, go to the "Jiucun Roasted Brain Flower" near the Jiefang Monument to eat barbecue, "burn" to taste (corn kernels, beef, small county liver is good, chicken skin is a little dry) "Roasted Brain Flower" is the signature, heavy oil and spicy, people with heavy mouths will like it, the rest depends on their own preferences, it varies from person to person, this store is a chain store, and it is relatively popular, I personally think the taste is not bad, but there is no amazing feeling, and the price is not low. This store in Jiefang Monument is in the night market area, so it is not recommended to order too much, leave some stomach and try other things, but I didn't buy it, because the Ocean Department Store mentioned before, there are almost all the more famous ones here, and it is not worth waiting in line for so long.
day8 6.13
I wastired from playing the day before, so I slept until I woke up naturally that day, and then went to the "Shancheng Laotangkou" (Jiefang Monument Hongya Cave Store) to eat Sichuan cuisine. His home environment is also very good, clean and elegant, and the price is relatively high in Chongqing, because Chongqing itself is low.After eating, I went around the nearby shopping mall, there are shopping malls everywhere near the Jiefang Monument, and there is a cute pet zoo nearby (the name is a little unclear, but there is the word cute pet), which is for rabbits, all kinds of rabbits, large and small, you can feed them to eat and interact with them.
(Cute Pet Zoo)
Take a flight back to Hohhot in the afternoon, and the trip is over~
After the whole trip, I like Chengdu more, I went to Chengdu, I can really experience the true meaning of "less in Sichuan, no old in Shu", I am really reluctant to leave, from the climate, to the environment, to the cultural atmosphere, to the rhythm of life, Chengdu is a city with thousands of advantages.
