Live Your Best Lives
It is true that "it is necessary to enter Shu". Chengdu is not actually a place that wears away people's willpower, on the contrary, it makes you feel alive. The only reason to sink is that you can't resist the wild imagination of the city. Its beauty lies in innocence, and the men, women, and children living here have a fatal and charming sense of relaxation, they never doubt the meaning of life, they are doers, they want to play mahjong, and if they like to eat millet spicy, they eat millet spicy. Sichuan people have a spirit, they are quiet and fearless, and they are neither humble nor arrogant to live their beloved little days. I don't like Chengdu as I like Chengdu's fireworks.
DAY·1 - Wuhou Temple - IFS
Morning flight, the weather is very good, take the subway to the hotel first to put your luggage. The hotel is located near Tianfu Square with convenient transportation, Taikoo Li is also nearby, the business district is prosperous, and there are many foods. But in fact, the Chengdu subway is very convenient, and you can arrange it according to the attractions you want to visit, just be close to the subway. At this time, there was still half an afternoon left, so I took a short rest and set off to the Wuhou Temple.
As a famous scenic spot related to the history of the Three Kingdoms in China, Wuhou Temple is divided into two parts: cultural relics area and garden area. As far as the play experience is concerned, it is a little disappointing, as a person who likes to visit museums, I was originally looking forward to seeing cultural relics related to the history of the Three Kingdoms, but in fact, the cultural relics area is mainly a temple, which is the statue of Liu Bei and others (you know the kind of statue in the temple), as well as some inscriptions. Huiling is a small hill surrounded by a small brick wall, and there are only plants on the hill, and we can only walk along the wall. The most crowded place is a section of the red wall aisle, with tall bamboo forests on both sides, where everyone is taking
pictures
After walking around and feeling that if you are not a fan of the Three Kingdoms, it doesn't matter if you don't come to this attraction. Jinli is next to the Wuhou Temple, the name is very good, it is the kind of alley that every city with some Internet celebrity attributes has, Tianzifang in Shanghai, Qinghefang in Hangzhou. Later, I heard that half of the unpalatable things in Chengdu are in Jinli and half in Kuanzhai Alleys (laughs). If you go to that area, you can stop by to feel the feeling, as a warm-up for the trip, if you happen to be hungry, it is not impossible to buy one or two snacks~
After eating near Huichunxi Road, my teammates proposed to go to IFS to see the Internet celebrity giant panda check-in point... When I arrived, I found out that I made a giant panda climbing the stairs on the outer wall of a commercial building, but the idea was... Very good... You can see the panda's big butt downstairs, and you can see the front face on the platform upstairs. When I went upstairs, I saw that other activities were being held on the platform, a performance stage was set up to sing Jay's old songs, and there were many catteries doing activities. There is also a special queuing channel in front of the giant panda, and there are really Internet celebrity ladies queuing up to take pictures! Passers-by took pictures and checked in from other angles next to them, which was quite cute.
I chose Xiaolongkan for dinner, and there are three near an intersection on this side of Chunxi Road... I found a house with less queues... In fact, Xiaolongkan also has it in Hangzhou, but I have never eaten it... Everyone has heard of the legend of "Chengdu slightly spicy".
As a spicy star, I wanted to boldly operate a... Medium spicy! (Medium spiciness is only extra spicy...) Extra spicy... It's a little cowardly, isn't it... My teammates thought it was better to be cautious, so they ordered a little spicy.For me, it is just delicious and spicy, because the spiciness will accumulate, and it is still a little spicy at the end, but it is spicy with a fresh aroma, enjoyable, especially tripe and duck intestines, which are crispy and crispy in the mouth for 15 seconds, so delicious~
DAY·2 - Giant Panda Breeding Base - Sanxingdui - Tianfu Square
Giant pandas and Sanxingdui can be arranged for one day, but if you are a Sanxingdui fan, you can arrange a whole day if you want to see the ruins in addition to the Sanxingdui Museum. You can buy a through train to the scenic spot (including two tickets) on WeChat, and depart from Chunxi Road to the giant panda base in the morning, with three trains at 7:10, 8:10 and 9:10. Giant pandas are afraid of heat, so it is better to arrange in the morning and depart from the panda base to Sanxingdui at noon. There is a point that is not very convenient, if you buy a round-trip ticket, the drop-off point on the way back is not Chunxi Road, only Wuhou Temple, but if you buy a one-way ticket back from Sanxingdui, it can be sent to Chunxi Road, which is very strange.
Originally, the panda base was not in my plan at the beginning, because I felt that I had seen too much in documentaries and nature magazines, and I felt that there was no need to watch live giant pandas. But my friend was very interested in the soft panda dumplings, so he joined the travel plan. It turns out that the essence of human beings is true fragrance!
Before going
after
From the time I saw the first giant panda, my inner monologue: the cuteness of a living giant panda is doubled! It's great that I didn't skip this attraction~ However, my teammates shouted from the side: "Why!" Shouldn't pandas be black and white? Why is it so dirty and dirty! I was deceived! Damn it! orz" (laughs) Finally, I saw a total of 26 pandas! The pandas all have their own names, two of which are impressive, one is called Yuanrun and the other is called Jixiao ......
Thepanda base as a whole is a hill, in addition to giant pandas and red pandas. There are tour buses, but there is a queue. The overall area is not particularly large, and we walked around for about three hours. There is no place to eat near Sanxingdui, so you need to prepare your own food or set aside time for lunch in the shop in front of the panda base.
Sanxingdui
Sanxingdui in Chengdu, Mawangdui in Changsha, and the humanistic town players in a region are probably like this. The Sanxingdui Museum is not a separate building, but a park, and the cultural relics are mainly placed in the comprehensive hall and bronze hall in the park. Finally, you can see these unique ancient Shu artifacts with your own eyes (so why didn't you want to see pandas with your own eyes before!).
If you like "Tomb Robbery Notes", why don't you take a look at the prototype of the bronze tree in the Qinling Sacred Tree!

Spiritual Light is infinite
This bronze snake is the most impressive to me except for a few famous cultural relics, probably shaped like a python or python. From the ancient time of rhinos living in southern China, it can be known that the temperature in the south used to be relatively high, and the ancient Shu Kingdom may also have tropical rainforests to make such lifelike bronzes.

There are cultural and creative stores in the park, Sanxingdui figures and so on are quite interesting, when I went, there were few types of postcards and quite expensive, There is nothing in particular that I like. I didn't ask about the official seal, but it should look like this from the pattern on the counter, which is quite good-looking.
Go back There happened to be a Taolin restaurant near the drop-off point, and I went there when I saw that the reviews were good, and the taste was very good. The pot-side buns are interesting, part of the dough is scraped off when baking, so it is soft and crispy at the same time, and the taste is sweet. The fat sausage is fried, and it is fried just right, so it doesn't feel very oily.
Just after 8 o'clock after eating, it was not yet dark in Chengdu. The weather was just cool, and it felt very comfortable to ride for about ten minutes. When I arrived at Tianfu Square, night had fallen, and the blue night sky was very beautiful
DAY·3 - Sichuan Provincial Museum - Du Fu Thatched Cottage - Shujin Museum - Taikoo Li
The provincial expo is decent, the nearby environment is very good, the building looks quite imposing from the outside, and the internal facilities are generally old-fashioned. Each floor has several themed small exhibition halls, all of which are independent, such as calligraphy and painting exhibitions, Han Dynasty pottery and stone, folk costumes, Tibetan Buddhism, etc. A lot of content in it is available in the city museum, if you are interested in Buddhism, it is recommended to go there.
There is a Chen Mapo tofu across the street from the museum, which is said to be the most authentic mapo tofu here, of course you have to give it a try. It's not very spicy but it's really super numb, my teammates took a bite of K.O., I ate three pieces and raised the white flag, my tongue seemed to be slightly shocked... The popular dish "taste on the tip of the tongue", the beef tongue full of Sichuan peppercorns, still tastes very good. Be sure to order the almond tofu here, take a bite when you can't stand the numbness, and your tongue will instantly be calmed down by the sweet and cold feeling.
Walking all the way from the Huanhuaxi Park next to it, there is Du Fu thatched cottage, and the scenery is very good all the way. Du Fu Thatched Cottage has been maintained and expanded by several dynasties, and is currently a garden, the scenery inside is very good, and there is also a bamboo forest red wall, the ticket is the same as the Wuhou Temple, if it is just to take photos of the red wall bamboo forest, it is more suitable to come here.
Welcome to my 300 acres of thatched cottage
The real Caotang site feels like a hundred square meters, plus the yard, modern people are greedy and crying. It started to rain when I was walking in the garden, and I happened to pass by a stele in the courtyard that read "Good rain knows the season". Then go to the café to drink a cup of grass hall coffee and rest, and prepare to go to the Shujin Museum.

Shujin Museum is not far from the thatched cottage, but after arriving, I was still quite disappointed, saying that the museum actually has some relevant materials on the basement floor, and the upstairs is the store. If you are not particularly interested, you don't have to go.
Returning to Chunxi Road, I strolled around Taikoo Li, a commercial street complex full of Internet celebrities. In fact, Chengdu has a subtle similarity with Hangzhou in many places, could it be the wonderful sense of commonality between the first and second generation Internet celebrity cities... I mainly went to the place here, and I have been to Guangzhou before, and every time I sigh that the variety of books in this independent bookstore is really amazing. Dinner was a bowl of chicken near Taikoo Li, which was better than the skewers I had eaten in Hangzhou, and the only thing I ate in Hangzhou was red oil, which tasted more delicious.

DAY·4 - Chengdu Museum - Go to Chongqing
In the morning, I left the hotel to go to the city expo, and the museum has luggage storage, which is very convenient. After visiting the city expo, I had a deeper understanding of "everyone only knows Chengdu Province, not Sichuan City" (laughs). The interior of the venue is not only new facilities, but also very rich in collections, and the design is also connected layer by layer, which is very interesting to visit.
Chengdu Museum
The second floor is the stage from the pre-Qin to the Northern and Southern Dynasties, not only the two treasures of the stone rhinoceros and the Jingxue lacquer people, but also the ship coffin burial that has not been seen before. I didn't expect that there were so many lacquerware in Shu, considering that Shu had dealings with Chu, and Mawangdui lacquerware was very famous, I couldn't help but wonder if these lacquerware were brought from Chu through trade or marriage. The third floor is the part from the Sui Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, with the famous hollow gold sachets.

fourth floor is the folklore chapter, including food, clothing, housing and transportation, vivid scenes are arranged, and there are even bronze sculptures and wax figures, as well as spicy eating customs, teahouse culture, snacks, mahjong and bridge, etc.
The fifth floor is the theme of shadow puppets, this one shows the scene of hell and the blessing of heavenly officials, and the hell part can be taken closely, thinking of "The Cold Light of the Ghost Lamp".
The cultural and creative store of the city expo is also very powerful, there are many types of postcards, and the price is good.

Lunch is about ten minutes by bike at the fat rice noodle shop, fat intestine lovers are ecstatic, what part of the fat intestine joints can be spicy and tender, and a small lung is added, soft and occasionally with a crispy texture of the trachea, a bowl is too satisfying. Hot pot can still be eaten in Hangzhou, but fat rice rolls don't seem to be eaten!
"There is an elegant courtyard in the city, and a century-old apricot in the courtyard"
This time I went to Chengdu and booked a courtyard-style hotel, next to Tianfu Square. After choosing China-TravelNote for half a day, I finally jumped to a hotel that matched the temperament of this cultural tourism. From the beginning of entering the hall, the chirping of parrots and the fragrance of white tea filling the air have an atmosphere of birds singing and flowers.
There are many ancient books and the four treasures of the study in the hall, and the elegance of the guzheng is wonderful.
The staff is also very humble and courteous, the whole hotel is antique, in such a bustling place as the city center, it is really hard to imagine such a secluded courtyard, The red walls and green tiles in the courtyard and two century-old apricots are really unique.
This 4-day trip to Chengdu will come to an end, if you have any questions, you can leave a message~
