Live Your Best Lives
I am in February 2025, a family of three set off from Shanghai, using the children's pre-school holiday to go to Chengdu and Chongqing to play, a total of 6 days and 5 nights, the whole process of doing the itinerary by myself, booking air tickets, high-speed rail, hotels, the original idea is more relaxed, but to take into account the attractions, the actual intensity of play is still a bit large, the average number of steps per day is 20,000+, some experiences, experiences, lessons to share with you, I hope it will be helpful to those who come after me.
The main attractions of this tour itinerary are as follows: Chengdu - Guanghan Sanxingdui Museum - Chengdu Metropolitan Area (Du Fu Thatched Cottage + Kuanzhai Alley) - Leshan - Emei Mountain - Chongqing (Hongya Cave + Chaotianmen Square + Jiefang Monument) - Zhaizi Cave, Bai Mansion - Eighteen Ladders, this travelogue is generally reported according to the timeline, interspersed with experiences.

Shanghai-Chengdu-hotel check-in
17:25~20:50 pm, Tibet Airlines TV9866 Hongqiao T2-Shuangliu T2, Shanghai Hongqiao departs from Chengdu.
In the evening, take the subway (Line 10 Shuangliu - Taiping Garden, transfer to Line 7 Outer Ring - Yinghui Road), after arriving at Shuangliu Airport, take the subway to the hotel.
Before traveling, consider the convenience of follow-up travel and choose a hotel close to the high-speed rail Chengdu East Station, after reading the online guide, I booked the Bernard Hotel (near Chengdu East and Metro Line 7), the check-in experience is good, one room solves the accommodation problem of a family of three, a big bed for parents to sleep, and a small bed for adult children to sleep. The hotel is affordable, the conditions are limited, but we are satisfied, we stayed for two nights for a total of 712 yuan, 356 yuan/night including breakfast, breakfast is relatively simple: porridge, eggs, small buns, side dishes, soy milk and so on.
Dinner that day was an airplane meal + McDonald's extra meal after leaving the subway.

Guanghan Sanxingdui - Du Fu Thatched Cottage - Kuanzhai Alley
In the morning, take a taxi for more than 100 yuan (plus a cross-regional return fee, and an additional 50 will be charged in advance) to Sanxingdui Museum, or you can book a bullet train to Guanghan in advance. Special reminder: The museum is very popular and needs to be booked online in advance (5 days in advance). I highly recommend this museum, its exhibits are unique and well-known, there are national treasure-level exhibits that are limited to not going abroad, and the souvenirs of the museum are diverse, but also very distinctive, not the kind of style that can be seen everywhere, we bought a few; There is a VR simulation archaeological site on the basement floor, and I heard that the experience was good, so we didn't have the energy to go. We looked at it more seriously, stayed in the museum for 5 hours, and were almost unable to walk (the first day exceeded the prediction, the Internet said to go shopping for 3 hours), and the lunch meal came with dry food + sandwiches bought in the museum.

Due to the late arrival, the play is a little hurried, leave before the park closes, and then take a taxi for 18 yuan to Kuanzhai Alley, feel the famous ancient street, shop and eat all the way, you can enter the teahouse to drink tea, watch the Sichuan opera change face, or book tickets to the more famous Liyuan Hall and Sichuan Sichuan Theater to watch more authentic Sichuan opera performances. Personally, I think that Kuanzhai Alley and Jinli Ancient Street can be chosen to go, almost, Kuanzhai Alley can be connected to Du Fu's thatched cottage, and Jinli Ancient Street can be connected to Wuhou Temple.
Take a taxi directly for 36 yuan to go back to the hotel at night, you can't walk, and you can take the subway back if you have the energy; After arriving at the hotel, I also went to the surrounding area to make up for some supper, there are many snack bars around the hotel, skewers and beef.
February 10
Chengdu - Leshan
At 9:36 a.m., the bullet train ticket booked in advance (Chengdu East - Leshan, C6275 ), after arriving at Leshan Station, experienced a small wheel tuk-tuk to the hotel (Harry High-altitude Hotel) booked, passing through Shihao Hui, and had lunch at Zhou Chicken and Bobo Chicken, which tasted good and was worthy of the name of a century-old store. After lunch, I go to the hotel to check in and put my luggage, I like to book a hotel closer to the high-speed rail station, so that it is more convenient to catch the high-speed rail later, and I don't have to get up too early. The Harry High-altitude Hotel is worth recommending, but the fear of heights is carefully chosen, because it really lives at high altitude (the top floor of the building), one room is suitable for a family of three (a large bed, a very large small bed), it is a loft design, the small bed is in a separate space on the spiral staircase, the room is clean, intelligent, very high-end feeling, and I sleep very well at night, we booked 328 a night without breakfast.
Bobo chicken In the afternoon, the hotel put down its luggage and took a taxi for more than ten yuan to the Leshan Giant Buddha Scenic Area. The Big Buddha is worth visiting, but be prepared for the useless legs, if you want to easily see the Buddha, choose a cruise, but you can't see it up close, you can't reach the Buddha's feet. The gate of the Big Buddha Scenic Area is still a long way from the main scenic spot, you can take the free shuttle bus back and forth, I didn't do a good job, the family took a lot of wrongful roads, there are many cultural attractions and cliff carvings on the mountain, there are Guo Moruo's, Su Shi's inscriptions, as well as temples and pagodas. The main attraction is the Big Buddha, you can only see the Buddha's head at the top of the mountain, and you can feel the majesty of the Buddha at the foot of the Buddha, but going down to the foot of the Buddha is a severe test, you have to queue up to go down the mountain, crowded with tourists all the way, we spent 2.5 hours to the Buddha's foot, after playing and taking pictures at the Buddha's foot, we had to climb back to the top of the mountain, and leave the scenic spot from another downhill road, which really made many people give up the Buddha's foot itinerary. We also took a taxi back to the hotel, but it was more difficult to get it, and it took a long time to take the order, and it cost more than 20 yuan to get to the hotel.

Buddha's foot looks up at the panoramic view In the evening, Feng Sanniang beef near the hotel for dinner, the taste is good and recommended, the boss is very enthusiastic, help us recommend dishes and pay attention to our feedback, many locals are also eating here, according to the boss, the brand of Feng Siniang beef is developed from them, I don't know what the story is.

Leshan - Mount Emei (Baoguo Temple - Leidongping - Jinding) At
9:30 a.m., the bullet train ticket booked in advance (Leshan - Emei Mountain, C6253), the morning breakfast at the roadside stall under the hotel building to eat chopped hands and noodles, and then take a taxi to the high-speed rail station. Twenty minutes after departure, I arrived at Emei Mountain Station (don't sit at Emei Station, these are two stations, the distance is quite different), and I found a China Post booth at the high-speed rail station and spent 50 yuan to store large luggage, leaving only one person with a backpack + a trekking pole to go up the mountain.Here is a long word, to visit Mount Emei to climb a lot, you definitely can't take suitcases, and try not to take handbags (especially flower bags), afraid of attracting monkeys (in fact, when we went, the weather was cold, the monkeys were hiding in the ecological monkey area in the middle of the mountain, so I didn't meet the monkeys), the trekking poles are also prepared for chasing the monkeys (the actual climbing also needs to use trekking poles, it is worth preparing, I bought a folding model at that time, the material is the lightest, I would rather be a little more expensive, I originally looked at the Internet and said that I could take it on the plane, but in fact I still have to check it in, Fortunately, it can be stuffed into a standard suitcase); In addition, I booked tickets and sightseeing tickets for Mount Emei in advance, and the attractions on the mountain need to buy tickets for Mount Emei before they can be played. We took a taxi from the high-speed rail station to Baoguo Temple and visited Baoguo Temple first (this temple is well-known, history, culture, religious culture can be seen at a glance, and tickets are sold for 8 yuan per person).
The main entrance of Hoguo Temple at the foot of the mountain After leaving the temple at noon, due to the unfamiliar road conditions, I took a taxi for 7 yuan to the Huangwan Visitor Center and ate a bowl of noodles at a nearby snack bar. At this time, the supermarket owner said that there was heavy snow on the mountain, let's buy crampons, the mountain is expensive, we looked at where the snow came from, the temperature was warm, so we didn't listen, and then slapped us in the face. In Huangwan, take a sightseeing bus to Leidongping with a ticket, and many plastic bags are prepared on the car to facilitate motion sickness tourists, and travel around the mountain for an hour and a half, during which I stopped to rest, and when I arrived at Leidongping, the carriage was filled with the smell of vomit, and I almost couldn't help it if I didn't get motion sickness.
In the process of the sightseeing bus going up the mountain, the snow gradually accumulated on the road, the temperature dropped significantly, the sky was cloudy, and the sun could not be seen. When we arrived at Leidongping, it was snowing outside, fortunately we were wearing down jackets that were not cold, but the road was slippery, and the shops on the side were selling crampons and non-slip shoe covers, which were really expensive, and I regretted not buying them at the foot of the mountain at that time, but we saw that the snow was not thick, and the road was mainly slippery, in fact, there was no need to buy crampons (this was verified later that it was right not to choose crampons, and the indoor places behind were not allowed to wear crampons to enter, it was very troublesome to change them, and there was no need to change them when wearing shoe covers), as long as the shoe covers were fine, the one-time was cheaper, and it was sold for 40 pairs a little better. We were not in a hurry to buy it, and when we went farther to a store to sell the same 25 yuan a pair, we bought three pairs, which really worked.
Climbing one kilometer from Leidongping to the Jieyin Hall, buying a round-trip ticket and taking the ropeway to the Golden Dome, all the way was gray, but our luck was not so bad, when the ropeway broke out of the clouds from the fog, the sun on the top of the mountain was bright, reflecting the sea of clouds, the waves rolled, a sea and a wide sky, and the ropeway carriage was full of exclamations. Arriving at the Golden Peak, we first went to the Emei Mountain Golden Peak Hotel (Woyun Tower) next to the ropeway station to check in, choosing to live on the top of the mountain, on the one hand, in order to relax the itinerary, have plenty of time to sightsee in the Golden Peak, on the other hand, it is convenient to watch the sunrise the next morning, and the choice of this hotel is relatively cost-effective, I also specially booked a windowed viewing room (twin standard room, but the beautiful scenery outside the window), the room is clean, the home decoration is old, the bed is quite large, two adults can squeeze a bed, The price is 655 yuan a night with two breakfasts, avoiding the peak season price, if you choose no view, you can also be cheap, special reminder: we didn't expect to stay in the mountaintop water cut period, you can't take a bath, use the toilet for a limited time (you can get out of the water during the limited time, but it's all water with sediment), and you are equipped with a bucket of clean water and a large bucket of drinking water for drinking and washing, so when booking a hotel on the top of the mountain, remember to call in advance to ask about the accommodation conditions on the mountain.
The sun was shining on the Golden Dome that day 
The sea of clouds is connected The golden peak of Mount Emei is more than 3,000 meters above sea level, and there will be high reversals, which vary from person to person. However, the Huazang Temple, the Ten Directions Puxian Statue, the sea of clouds on the top of the mountain, and the snow-capped mountains are indeed worth the trek and wading through the mountains and rivers, which are beautiful. In the evening, we bought some food at the small shop on the top of the mountain, and the price was still conscientious for such a high place on the top of the mountain, not a random price, which was also consistent in the small shops along the way, which is commendable.(You can also try the vegetarian food of the temple on the mountain, there are also many recommended)
February 12
Mount Emei - Chongqing (Hongya Cave - Chaotianmen - Liberation Monument).
In the morning, unfortunately, the good luck did not extend to the next day, the snowdrops have been falling at night, and the snow has stopped in the morning and the fog has not dissipated, so I couldn't see the sunrise, so let's leave a regret for the future. I originally planned to go down the mountain and then go to Wannian Temple in the middle of the mountain to check in (the three major temples of Mount Emei: Huazang Temple, Baoguo Temple, and Wannian Temple), but the train ticket I booked was tight on time, so I gave up. Take a sightseeing bus to Leidongping and go directly to the high-speed rail Emeishan Station.
The next morning was foggy At 12:39 noon, the bullet train transferred to the high-speed rail (Emeishan Station - Chongqing Shapingba Station, C6308 to G8623), lunch was simply solved at the canteen at Emeishan Station, and after transferring to Chengdu East Railway Station, it took more than 3 hours to go to Chongqing. In order to save time and energy, take a taxi directly from Shapingba Station for 26 yuan to the hotel, and the hotel is located in Chongqing Manguan Manyue Hotel (Jiefang Monument Hongya Cave Store) in Yuzhong District, which is very close to Daxigou Station of Light Rail Line 2, which is convenient for travel. This hotel is also very satisfied, the interior is high-end, clean, intelligent, the selected room has large floor-to-ceiling windows to see the river view, although it is close to Line 2 but quiet at night and sleeps well, 449 one night including double breakfast, breakfast variety is relatively rich.
Hotel interior In the evening, take 1 stop of the light rail to Linjiangmen, go to the community hot pot restaurant recommended by the hotel front desk (near Hongya Cave), it is delicious, the base is fried at home, the ingredients are fresh, and the pig's feet marinated in the house are also very delicious, better than the chain brand, of course, the environment is still to go to the chain store. After eating, we went to visit Hongya Cave, although it is not the peak season, but it is still crowded, the middle floor is not able to take the elevator, we took the safety passage from the 9th floor of Hongya Cave all the way down to the ground floor, and met the floor of interest to go around, one floor is the Chongqing appearance street in the 80s, which is a bit interesting. After going downstairs, cross the overpass from the crowd to the opposite side of the road, and take pictures of the night view of Hongya Cave in the crowd, which is bustling. We gave up going back to the bottom floor of Hongya Cave and taking the elevator to the top floor, feeling that it was still the road to the top floor, but walked to Chaotianmen, which proved to be a mistake and took a long time, but it is indeed true that it is difficult to take a taxi, and this road is very helpless. Chaotianmen Square can watch the confluence of the two rivers, the Jialing River, the night view of the Yangtze River, and the landmark buildings of Raffles City Plaza, we really can't walk in the evening, so we took a taxi for 14 yuan to go to the Jiefang Monument, and after punching in, we took a taxi for 26 yuan to go back to the hotel to rest.

Zhai Cave - Bai Mansion - Eighteen Ladders - Shanghai
In the morning, take Light Rail Line 2 to Liziba Station and check in the light rail through the building.Then take a taxi for 37 yuan to the dregs cave and the white mansion to start the red tour, of which the dregs cave to the white mansion has to walk for a while, and then the white mansion has to climb more, of course, if you don't go to the scenic spots on the mountain (General Yang Hucheng, the little radish head and other murder sites, Dai Mansion), it is easier to turn back to the white mansion.

Outside Xiangshan Villa In the afternoon, after leaving the Bai Mansion, we took a taxi directly for 29 yuan to the eighteen ladders, felt the style of Chongqing Old Street, and agreed that there was a unique flavor, all the way from top to bottom, passing by the food stalls to buy some, although the commercial atmosphere was strong, but experienced the taste of the mountain city. After shopping, take a taxi for 14 yuan back to the hotel to pick up your luggage, and then take a taxi for 36 yuan to Jiangbei Airport.

Suggestions:
1. Travel around Chengdu, it is convenient to drive or rent a car, to Sanxingdui, Leshan, Emei Mountain, Dujiangyan, Qingcheng Mountain and other scenic spots can drive by yourself, Emei Mountain can drive to the zero kilometer parking lot, and then turn to the sightseeing car to Leidongping, the main attractions under the mountain can also be driven to the nearest parking lot; If you go to a distant attraction, plan for another time.
2. Foreigners should not rent a car to Chongqing and drive, the elevated road is too complicated, and locals may not drive right.
