Testimonial: During the National Day in 2023, I had nothing to do, and occasionally flipped through the photos of my trip to Sichuan during my marriage vacation in 2017-----。

On December 2, 2017, after 20 years, he accompanied his wife to revisit his hometown in Chengdu.

1. Stationed in Chengdu

On the evening of December 2, the flight from Zhengzhou to Chengdu landed steadily at Shuangliu Airport, looking at the brilliant lights in the distance, I took a deep breath: Chengdu, we are here again!

This tour accommodation was selected near Wuhou Temple in Jinli, Chengdu, adjacent to Wuhou Temple and Jinli Old Street, mainly considering convenient transportation, good online reviews, relatively clean, service software is also good, and I stayed here for 5 nights during the trip.

2. Play in Chengdu, December 3-4, arrange two days.

Overall feeling: The most impressive thing in the city is that you can see ginkgo trees everywhere and feel the teahouse, food, and leisure culture. The golden ginkgo leaves hang on the branches, float in the air, and stick to the ground, shining dazzling between heaven and earth; OFO bicycles, fast taxis, convenient subways, cross-use, leisure; brew a pot of tea, listen to others set up the dragon gate, taste tea in the world, rest and watch the scenery, comfortable and natural; Order special beef, choose chilled goose intestines, taste spicy hot pot, and the fresh aroma collides between the taste buds, lingering.

1. Du Fu Thatched Cottage Museum. Located in Qingyang District, Chengdu, it is the former residence of Du Fu, a great poet of the Tang Dynasty in China, when he lived in Chengdu, and poems such as "Thatched Cottage is Thing", "Spring Night Joyful Rain", "The Song of the Thatched House Broken by the Autumn Wind" were created here, covering an area of about 300 acres after expansion. Personally, I feel that the biggest feature of Du Fu's thatched cottage is its quietness. Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, the sun, streams, green grass, green bamboo, fragrant pines, lotus flowers..., between movement and stillness, it is like a paradise, which is refreshing.

Scratch and ponder the details.

2. Chunxi Road. Located in Jinjiang District, Chengdu, it is a lively and prosperous commercial district in the city center, in stark contrast to Du Fu's thatched cottage. The biggest feature of "Everyone is bustling, like a spring platform", is that it brings together various specialty stores, malls, and local famous foods of many brands. We mainly visit boutique stores, enjoy handsome guys and beautiful women, and taste the rest of food culture.

Xiaolongkan Old Hot Pot (Chunxi Road Store), classical style layout, spicy and fragrant taste, 2 o'clock in the afternoon, there are still many diners.

3. Kuanzhai Alley Old Street. Located in Qingyang District, Chengdu, it is composed of wide alleys, narrow alleys, and well alleys arranged in parallel. Among them, the wide alley is a "leisure living area", which mostly reproduces the life of old Chengdu people such as ear picking, juggling, and traditional performances; The narrow alley is a "slow living area", which is mainly based on exquisite life tastes such as fast catering, art and leisure, and characteristic theme stores.

Old objects and old photos inherit the memory of an era.

Locals are exercising and recreation near the wide alley.

The

old and new local cultures intersect, and the prescription of details shows the level.

4. It is part of the Wuhou Temple Museum, located in Wuhou District, Chengdu, is an ancient commercial street that embodies the culture of the Three Kingdoms and the famous customs of Chengdu, integrating tourism, shopping, leisure and entertainment, and can be called the Sichuan version of the Qingming River Map. Looking at the big red lanterns hanging high, the black tea of Wuhou is set up at the dragon gate.

Traditional culture display, always conscientious.

Expression Emperor, where do your deep eyes go?

clear sound is long and airy, and I play and sing as I feel at ease

A cup of tea and a breath, lingering between heaven and earth.

5. People's Park. Located in Qingyang District, Chengdu, it is a good place for locals to drink tea and chat and play mahjong. As part of the itinerary plan, the two rode bicycles together to experience the streetscape garden culture, drink Maofeng's large bowl of tea, and watch the ginkgo biloba leaves in the sky.

Quietly know the fun of the world in the size, and hear the truth of the world.

Cult of personality or enjoying the view?

3. Leshan and Emei Mountain two-day tour with the group, December 5-6.

1. This time I accompanied my wife to Leshan and climb Emei, making up for the regrets of 20 years ago. On the morning of the 5th, in the mist, our group of 11 tourists + tour guide Xiao Tang took a spacious bus and started the trip. On the way, the fog gradually increased, and sometimes even encountered fog with visibility of 50 meters. Fortunately, the highway was not closed, and the Leshan cruise ship could drive normally, without delaying the trip. Take a boat trip, watch the panoramic view of the Leshan Giant Buddha, and take the confluence of the Jialing River, Minjiang River and Dadu River. The young director Tang kept introducing the destination and the allusions along the way, and his witty and mischievous words aroused everyone's happy laughter from time to time, shortening the distance between each other. Lunch tastes Leshan snacks, the main dish is the local intangible cultural heritage beef, which is actually stewed beef offal soup, which is delicious and delicious, and I can't help but drink two more bowls of soup, with fragrant lips and teeth, and endless aftertaste.

2. Mount Emei, located in Emei City, Leshan City, Sichuan Province, is one of the "four Buddhist" famous mountains in China, known as "Emei World Show". On the afternoon of December 5, visit Wannian Temple and Qingyin Pavilion in Emei Mountain Scenic Area. Surrounded by mountains and waters, the terrain is steep and the scenery is beautiful.

Farmhouse free-range chickens, strong, meaty! The ancients prepared chicken and millet and invited me to the farmer's house; Looking for land and asking for housing, yellow chickens and white wine, fishermen and woodcutters.

3. In the evening, the Emei Elephant City Grand Theater watched the theatrical performance of "Holy Elephant Emei", the scene was magnificent and shocking, "changing faces" and "close around, sketch programs and audience interaction, northern Sichuan big puppets, acrobatics, Emei martial arts, rolling lanterns and long-billed copper pot kung fu tea and other programs, so that everyone can carefully taste the unique folk customs of Sichuan in the appreciation of the skill performance with strong local characteristics!

4. Climb the Golden Peak of Emei. On the first night, the tour guide Xiao Tang reminded everyone to wear all the clothes they could, and it would be very cold to climb the Golden Peak of Emei on the 6th. Despite the precautions, it was actually unexpected. As the essence of Emei, the golden top is well-deserved. Regardless of the world's largest metal complex, only the sea of clouds that permeates the mountains all year round and the rime wrapped around the branches make Mount Emei graceful and extraordinarily enchanting. Coinciding with the first melt of snow a few days ago, we put on spikes, stepped on the ice road, watched the sea of clouds, and toured the golden peak, although we were not lucky enough to encounter the colorful Buddha light of the golden dome, but in the fog, there is also a unique artistic conception, which can only be felt by personal experience. The only regret is that I have not encountered macaques in Emei, probably because it is cold.

4. Qingcheng Mountain two-day free travel. Qingcheng Mountain is located in Dujiangyan City, Chengdu, one of the four famous mountains of China's four major churches, surrounded by undulating peaks, lush and green, known as "Qingcheng Tianxia You". Because of the tight time and having visited Dujiangyan before, we decided to choose to play in Qingcheng Mountain for two more days.

1. On the morning of December 7, take the subway to Chengdu Xipu Station and take the high-speed rail to Qingchengshan Station. The owner of Qingcheng Mountain Fulin Inn, who booked the overnight stay, was very enthusiastic, and after receiving the consultation call, he personally drove to the station, and then sent us to Qingcheng Qianshan Scenic Area. Qingcheng Qianshan Scenic Area is the main part of the scenic area, with many Taoist temples and cultural relics; The Houshan Scenic Area integrates mountains, water, caves, corridors and forests, and the natural scenery is outstanding. Personally, I feel that if you are just playing, it is more suitable for the back mountain: few tourists, good scenery, and high cost performance. Xu is tired of climbing in the past two consecutive days, and the trip to Qingcheng is mainly based on tea tasting, viewing, and moderate hiking and leisure.

2. On the morning of December 8, the chartered car went directly to the back mountain scenic area to play, and at 13:50 in the afternoon, took the high-speed rail back to Chengdu.

While sitting idly drinking tea, the puppy kept lying next to him basking in the sun, feeling that someone was watching, looking up, and his little eyes were very bored

5. Return.

At about 7 o'clock in the morning on December 9, facing the rising sun, I took the first bus to Shuangliu Airport. At 10:40, I boarded the flight to the east, and with a reluctant mood, I left Rongcheng and returned to Yuxin.

Postscript: On this trip to Chengdu, although I stayed opposite the Wuhou Temple most of the time, I did not go in once because of the limited vacation time and the itinerary was not arranged. Together with many other good places in Chengdu and its surroundings that have not been visited and can be played, as a regret, leave it for the next time you revisit to fulfill your wish-----。
