I feel that the past two years have been really friendly to groupies, and many singers are touring. When I learned that Andy Lau was going to hold a concert in Chengdu, I arranged for my husband to help me grab tickets. Especially luckily, we grabbed an infield ticket.

Chengdu is extremely hot, and in order to make the trip more comfortable, we booked a car in a certain hi. Note! When renting a car, be sure to check the condition of the car first.

Because I decided to come to Chengdu after grabbing the ticket, I booked the ticket that night, which was the peak summer travel season, and the ticket was not cheap.

Day1 Playing around Chengdu

Fortunately, both flights flew very smoothly, and there was no one next to them back and forth. Arrived at Chengdu Tianfu Airport at noon, and quickly had lunch at the airport, the taste is just like that, you know what the airport is about. After that, I picked up the car and set off.

After a simple lunch, all the way to Bipenggou, Lixian County, before coming, I checked the guide and said that if it rains, there will be danger, there will be mudslides on the road, 318 just collapsed a few days ago, look at the weather forecast, it rained for a few days when we went, hesitated for several days whether to go, and finally decided to go, or after arriving, I found that the weather was very good, all the way blue sky and white clouds, the road was also very easy to drive, basically highways and tunnels.

On the way, I visited the "Yingxiu Epicenter Memorial Hall". Unknowingly, 16 years have passed since the 5.12 earthquake, and in my memory, at that time, the TV was scrolling with shocking and sad disaster statistics, as well as touching stories of rescue, although I came here by the way, but it was also the most special travel experience, the meaning of life, it is not difficult to find.

Coming out of the memorial hall, I got on the highway again and rushed to Bipenggou, departing from Chengdu at 12:30 noon, and it was already 5 or 6 o'clock in the afternoon when I arrived. Fortunately, it doesn't get dark until 8 p.m. here. The temperature in the mountains at night is about 20 degrees, so cool, after all, it is still very cool to just come from the magic capital of 38 degrees.

After checking in, I found a beef hot pot at the door of the hotel, full of expectations, and when the dishes were finished, I found that I had gone to the wrong restaurant, so I could only eat the wrong one, this taste is really indescribable, and the hygiene situation is not very good, and I stepped on the thunder in the first meal. Today, I got up at half past five in the morning to catch the plane, and drove to Chengdu for more than five hours, a little tired, and after a meal, I walked around the neighborhood and went back to the hotel to rest.

Day2 Bipenggou

Today's main itinerary is Bipenggou, about 1 kilometer from the hotel to the scenic spot, Bipenggou has a maximum altitude of 3,800 meters, and I bought two oxygen cylinders (25 yuan/bottle) at the pharmacy at the entrance of the scenic spot, and finally I didn't use it, maybe because I ate Gao Yuan An the day before and that day, or maybe I didn't have a high rebellion in the first place.

Before going, I was expecting good weather, but unfortunately it kept raining that day, only stopped for a while at noon, about 10 degrees on the mountain, it was still quite cold, and the poncho and thick clothes I brought were used. In order to prevent motion sickness, I took motion sickness medicine in advance, and it took about 20 minutes to reach the first attraction, Longwanghai.

Admission hours: 8:00 a.m. to 15:30 p.m. Tickets + scenic buses: 119 yuan/person. Two-way round-trip sightseeing bus: 60 yuan/person

Attractions: 1 Longwang Sea: The lake is turquoise and clear, and you can see the reflection of the snow-capped mountains in good weather. 2. White Dragon Waterfall: The flowing water roars, majestic, and feels the power of nature. 3. Moon Bay: The white sand beach and the surrounding forest and snow-capped mountains are interesting, as if the moon is setting in the world.

4 Swallow Rock: The highest point in the scenic area, you can see the snow-capped mountains up close, when we arrived, it rained heavily, the snow-capped mountains were completely covered by clouds, and we climbed halfway up the mountain and were persuaded by a mother-in-law in the scenic area, so we didn't climb up.

After a short rest, we decided to take a car down the mountain, from half past eight in the morning to more than 2 o'clock in the afternoon, almost 6 hours, I checked in and took pictures slowly throughout the whole process, and I was not very tired.

Coming out of Bipenggou, I looked at the navigation, and the journey to Dujiangyan was an hour and a half, but I didn't expect to encounter a big traffic jam that day, and it took more than three hours to actually drive to arrive, including Dujiangyan City. The first feeling I had in Dujiangyan City was that the traffic was chaotic, crossing the road, changing lanes at will, all kinds of people.

After checking in, I found a Sichuan restaurant near the hotel for dinner. The taste is still good, especially the pumpkin in the steamed pork ribs is fragrant and sweet, the small fried pork is ordered in a large portion, in fact, the small portion is enough, it goes well with rice, and the three crisps are yellow throat, beef tongue and chicken gizzards.

Day3 Dujiangyan

Dujiangyan, the crystallization of wisdom more than 2,000 years ago, still shines and continues to play its huge role. When I arrived at the scenic spot at 9 o'clock in the morning, the door was already full of tourists, and one tourist bus after another almost persuaded us to leave, and when I was about to return to Chengdu, I said why don't I go to Yangtianwo Square to check in first.

Later, the more I thought about it in Yangtianwo Square, the more I felt that it was coming, so let's bite the bullet and go, and I don't care how many others are. So I parked the car directly near the square and took a taxi to Dujiangyan. In order to give back to Shanghai, Dujiangyan implemented a ticket reduction policy for tourists holding Shanghai ID cards, and the ticket only cost 15 yuan.

When I went, I realized that I was actually just looking at the crowd, and it didn't take long to really queue up, and I invited a tour guide in the scenic spot to explain the whole process of the ancients controlling the water, 40 yuan/person, and it was worth it to explain to Anlan Bridge.

Recommended route: Enter the scenic spot from Qinyan Gate, climb to the highest point to get a bird's-eye view of the entire Dujiangyan, then go downstairs and walk to the Erwang Temple commemorating Li Bing and his son to learn about their contribution to the Dujiangyan water conservancy project, and then walk across the Anlan Bridge to experience the historical charm of this ancient city. Turning right after crossing the bridge is the Yuzui Dike, which divides the Min River into the inner river and the outer river, the inner river is used for irrigation and the outer river is used for flood drainage.

Walking in the opposite direction, you can go to the flying sand weir that discharges flood and discharge sand, pass by the mouth of the treasure bottle that controls the amount of water, enter the Lidui Park, and finally arrive at Fulong Temple. Due to the flow restriction that day, we were driven outside the scenic spot when we reached Feisha Weir, and we went around a long circle before leaving the scenic spot, and we were so tired that we sat directly on the ground. If you are not in a hurry, you can also take a stroll in the commercial street here and wait for the blue tears to turn on the lights at night, which is said to be very beautiful.

was already two o'clock in the afternoon when I came out of the scenic spot. After lunch, go to the Tianfu Art Museum, which takes less than 2 hours by car.

Tianfu Art Museum is located in a large park, with two exhibition halls A and B indoors and a library, a large artificial lake and several commercial streets outside, and the indoor spiral staircase is very photogenic.
