DAY1: Chongqing: Jiefang Monument Pedestrian Street - Bayi Delicious Street

Board at 13:35 pm Shanghai Pudong Airport T2 Terminal, arrive at Chongqing Jiangbei Airport at 16:25 pm, then take the subway to the hotel to check in, and go to Hongya Cave Jiefang Monument, Chongqing is not very big, taking the subway, or taking a taxi can basically solve the traffic problem before the attraction.

Jiefangbei Pedestrian Street - Bayi Delicious Street

Take the subway to Jiefangbei Pedestrian Street, there are many people here doing live broadcasts, there are a lot of people, we took two photos casually, and then went all the way to Bayi Delicious Street, here is extremely lively, all kinds of food, a wide variety, the people watching are dazzled, when I just entered the square, I really didn't know where to start, I felt that I wanted to taste it, because it was full of people, we finally waited for an empty seat, put down the luggage, and I sat down with my baby and started to eat some snacks I had just bought. My husband continued to go deep into the square and circle around, when he encountered delicious food, he bought some and sent them over, many of them were spicy, the children couldn't eat it, so they ate a boiled copy, the following are the ones I have tasted once, only the mung bean soup is good, the rest is average, Chongqing Chengdu's pig brain flower has always been the light in my heart, spicy and tender, come here must taste it, the result is disappointing, it is estimated that it was not sold, and then it has been baked, so the pig brain flower tastes very old, not as good as the pig brain flower in Shanghai, I want to eat delicious , not recommended here.

After shopping at Bayi Delicious Street, I walked to Hongya Cave, which is brightly lit at night, known as the real version of Spirited Away, Coming to Chongqing must be to experience it firsthand. The scene of the result is like this...... I couldn't go there at all, and in the end I had to take the subway back to the hotel.

DAY2: Chongqing: Huashengyuan Dream Kingdom - Guanyinqiao Pedestrian Street - Liziba - Second Factory Cultural and Creative Park

Watson Garden Dream Kingdom

After experiencing the congestion the day before, the next day we decisively chose the Watson Garden Dream Kingdom with a small flow of people, which my husband temporarily found on the Internet, saying that it was very suitable for taking pictures, we called an online car-hailing from the hotel near Chongqing North Railway Station, about 50 yuan fare, along the way, looking at the scenery crossed outside the car window, feeling the unique natural architectural scenery of Chongqing.

Guanyinqiao Pedestrian Street

After taking pictures in the dream kingdom of Watson Garden, it was lunch time, so we took a taxi to Guanyinqiao Pedestrian Street to arrange a meal of Chongqing's must-eat Chongqing hot pot, saying that Chongqing's authentic hot pot is in the alley, so we followed the navigation and groped over, the hot pot restaurant is very simple, cement floor, cement wall, no decoration, if you want a good environment, it is not recommended to alley hot pot, but the taste of hot pot is still good, the ingredients are very fresh and delicious, we basically didn't order vegetables, what we ordered was Chongqing's must-order meat ingredients, My husband thought it was too spicy, I couldn't stand it, dipped in two cans of oil, I ate it too much, I ate it directly, and drank drinks while eating, which was barely acceptable.

Liziba

After lunch, I need to digest it, so I just strolled along Guanyin Street, and then took the light rail to the next station, Liziba, the scenery of the Jialing River outside the light rail is also very beautiful, to Liziba Station, we went shopping, the exit is about 5 floors, each floor has a lot of small shops, there are food, play, and a lot of souvenirs, very exquisite and good-looking.

Second Factory Cultural and Creative Park

Then continue to navigate and walk to the Second Factory Cultural and Creative Park, my husband said that the map shows that it is only about 200 meters to walk here, 5 minutes to get there, the result can be imagined, Chongqing is a mountain city, the navigation is not credible, the left one is 5 minutes, the right one is 5 minutes, we walked for about 30 minutes to the Second Factory Cultural and Creative Park.

DAY3: Huanglong

The night before we took the evening 18 from Chongqing North Railway Station : 30 high-speed rail to Chengdu East Railway Station, about 1 hour and a quarter of an hour, we arrived at Chengdu East Railway Station before eight o'clock, our hotel was set next to the train station, because the next day we had to go to Huanglong Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area with the group, and there would be a special car to pick up and drop off the tourist bus in the morning.

Speaking of joining the group, this experience makes me really uncomfortable, if conditions permit, I advise you to travel freely, and along the way you will be PUA by the tour guide, all kinds of news and stories will brainwash you and tell you to shop, which is really annoying. Because of the inconvenience of transportation in Jiuzhaigou to Huanglong, we can only choose to join the group, but Jiuzhaigou, the transit station between Huanglong, and the Chuanzhu Temple is building a railway, and it should be more and more convenient to have its own travel in the future.

There are unhappy people, and there will be happy things on the way, and I met several group members in the group, including from the Northeast, Guangzhou, and Hangzhou, everyone from all over the country, getting along very harmoniously, and a child about the same age as the baby, and the two became friends.

We took a bus from the Chengdu Tourist Bus Distribution Center to Huanglong Scenic Area at about 6:30 in the morning, passed through Wenchuan County and Mao County in Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture on the way, and had lunch in Mao County. At about 14:00 in the afternoon, we arrived at the Huanglong tourist attraction in Songpan County, we took the cable car up and then walked down the mountain.

Huanglong is about 3,500 meters above sea level, take the cable car up to Huanglong, obviously there is tinnitus, chest tightness, fatigue and other altitude sickness, the further you go, the more severe the child's altitude sickness, the little face is pale, the limbs are weak, basically walk two steps and rest two steps, on the way I also bought two cans of oxygen cylinders, 20-25 yuan/bottle, but it didn't have much effect, and finally my husband and children arrived at Huanglong Ancient Temple, the child really couldn't stand it, so he could only go down the mountain first, and I continued to go up, to the colorful pool, Sure enough, the best scenery is on the top of the mountain, the colorful pond is like a fairyland, beautiful, take a lot of photos in Huanglong, all like it very much, here to give you some reference, if you take the cable car to Huanglong, there is no need to stay too long on the road to the colorful pond on foot, the real good scenery is concentrated in the colorful pool, and the walk down the mountain this part of the journey, you can enjoy this beautiful scenery, take beautiful photos, very filmed.

DAY4-5: Jiuzhaigou - Shopping - Chengdu

The altitude of Jiuzhaigou is about 1,000 meters, the weather is sunny on the day of the play, there is no altitude sickness, the whole process feels very smooth and comfortable, you can enjoy embracing the blue water and blue sky, and feel the magic of nature.Girls who like to take beautiful photos can wear beautiful Tibetan clothes here, paint beautiful makeup, and leave their own beauty in this wonderful Jiuzhaigou.

PS: My baby and I rented Tibetan clothes, and all the makeup cost 380 yuan.

DAY6: Panda Paradise - Dujiangyan

Panda Paradise

Because the whole day was shopping, a lot of time was delayed, and it took almost 8 o'clock in the evening to arrive in Chengdu, and when we arrived in Chengdu, we went to pick up the rented car in advance and prepared to drive to Panda Paradise and Dujiangyan the next day. Go to Panda Paradise, purely for children, in my opinion, the pandas everywhere are the same, and there is no difference, so I was a little interested when I went, and after arriving, I found that the pandas in Chengdu and Shanghai Zoo, the pandas in Guangzhou Chimelong Wildlife Park are really different, the pandas' hair here is shiny, the pandas are smart and lively, very spiritual, each panda has its own character, and there is also a unique ability to attract tourists, extremely cute, people say that one side of the water and soil raises the other side, and sure enough, this panda is the same.

Dujiangyan

There are two friends around me who are from Dujiangyan and have been listening to them mention it, so I have a curious and familiar feeling about Dujiangyan, and I want to see what my friend's hometown is like. This time, I finally had the opportunity to come and take a look, and what caught my eye from a distance was the ancient building of Nanqiao, which I don't know how many dynasties have changed, standing alone in the world, making people feel like they have traveled through ancient and modern times. Walking into Dujiangyan and learning more about Dujiangyan, people can't help but sigh at the wisdom of the ancients, who used their ingenuity and perseverance to benefit the people and create the current Dujiangyan.

DAY7: Chengdu

Du Fu Thatched Cottage

Children have been reading ancient poems since they were young, come to Chengdu, Du Fu thatched cottage is naturally an essential stop, originally wanted to rent a tour guide, but we entered this gate did not see the tour guide service, so we could only settle for the second place, so we rented 2 scenic spot interpreters, the content of the interpreter is very official, for children, there is no special attraction, children prefer to listen to the story, interesting, I personally think that some of the content of this attraction and Du Fu have nothing to do with it, I really can't understand, I can't understand, And there are too many people.

Jianshe Lane Food Street - Taikoo Li Pedestrian Street

After visiting Du Fu's thatched cottage, I began to check in Chengdu Jianshe Lane Food Street , one after another, dazzling, Zhou signed potatoes, the potatoes are fried crispy, sweet and spicy, the portion is quite sufficient, I feel a little bitter at the end, I am not used to eating houttuynia grass, I must tell the boss in advance, I have never had any taboos, but I am still blinded by the taste of houttuynia grass, the taste is indescribable, and finally I can only pick out the houttuynia little by little, Emei tofu brain, There are many flavors, we ordered the traditional beef flavor recommended by the boss, thickened the thick juice, and then added steamed beef foam and other seasonings, it tasted a little salty, this can no longer taste the taste of tofu brain, the taste is average, 1 fat sausage, there are fat sausages, onions, rice cakes, this is more delicious than the fat sausage wrapped in green onions eaten in Chongqing Bayi Square, the food is almost done, we took a taxi to Taikoo Li Pedestrian Street, bought Zhang Fei beef recommended by a friend, it is indeed delicious, and bought a few rabbit heads, Chengdu is full of Shuangliu mother's rabbit heads, and I can't figure out which one is delicious, so I bought some in the same specialty store.

At about half past five in the evening, we took the subway to the hotel near Tianfu Airport, there is a hotel pick-up service out of the subway entrance, the car goes all the way through the barren mountain road, plus the road construction, the car is bumpy, the outside is dark, it is easy to make people reverie, about 10 minutes later, there is a feeling of another village, the car drove to the town, we checked in the hotel, here to praise, the hotel is really cost-effective, like a new one, simple style, The facilities and equipment inside are very good, the room is very clean, because on the mountain, there are a lot of crickets at night, the children like it very much, dinner time, we went to the foot of the mountain to find a food stall, ordered a crayfish, boiled bullfrog, here to wow, so delicious, it turns out that the deliciousness is hidden in the mountains.

Well, Chongqing, Chengdu tourism has come to an end here, this time Chengdu and his party met friends who had not seen each other for six or seven years, everyone gathered together, really very happy, she told me as a local that next time I will go to western Sichuan, the scenery there is more beautiful, eat delicious to go to Leshan, saying that Leshan is delicious to eat casually, much better than the so-called food street in Chengdu, haha, I hope to come again next time.
