As a native of Chengdu, the most frequently asked questions are:
"Xiaoyao, help me recommend a fun place in Chengdu."
"Bringing the baby to Chengdu on October 1st, where is it convenient for us to live nearby?"
These questions are really difficult to answer, because in the heart of every old Chengdu person there is a private map drawn using life, time, stories and memories. When it comes to humanistic feelings, landmark attractions, and check-in places for local food, a thousand people have a thousand different answers. However, if you mention one-stop fashionable check-in places, one place that will definitely be "Chengdu IFS".
"Just like when it comes to Paris, you may not know 40 Avenue Haussmann, but you will not know Galeries Lafayette. The same is true for Chengdu IFS in Chengdu, especially for Chengdu people who don't like to remember road names. Perhaps few people know that the road downstairs in Chengdu IFS is called Hongxing Road Section 3. When we date, we will say:"See you tomorrow at IFS in Chengdu!"
Recently, some fans are planning to go to Chengdu for a parent-child trip on National Day. Today, I will take everyone to Chengdu IFS, the "center of the universe" in Chengdu, for a day with my family's "mother-child fashion", and give everyone some good suggestions for a trip on National Day.

parent-child shopping
“A girl should be two things:
classy and fabulous. "
--Coco Chanel
A fashionable 3-year-old girl quietly went to my cloakroom to choose a white headband and put on lip balm before she left the house. Today, I was going to buy her new clothes for the changing season. The excited Miss Du was waiting for the door to open at ten o'clock in the morning at the IFS gate in Chengdu. The children's clothing brands here range from first-line luxury brands Burberry Kids, Givenchy Kids, Bonpoint to JNBY, NIKE kids, PetitBateau, Mothercare, etc. Among them, there are many of the first stores in the Midwest and the first stores in the Southwest. It is really the best choice for fashionable children to shop.
Stella McCartney Kids
The eponymous brand of British talented designer Stella McCartney, her designs are full of sweetness and romance, with a British rock style. She brings her straightforward and natural personality into the brand's children's clothing line. Her design is wild and colorful, full of childlike interest. In the past, every time I saw Stella McCartney Kids abroad or online shopping, I couldn't help but buy it for Miss Du. Now its first store in southwest China has opened to Chengdu IFS, which is much more convenient.
The design of Stella McCartney Kids is too suitable for trendy treasures
toot was immersed in the fun of matching.
Moncler Children's Wear Store
Moncler, a luxury brand that originated in 1952, has only one store in Chengdu IFS in the entire southwest region. Moncler is the leading international brand in the outdoor down jacket industry. Its down jackets are fashionable and warm. In winter, toot only needs to wear a long-sleeved T-shirt inside, so that children will not feel heavy and less bound.
Is it too early to buy down jackets just in autumn? Of course not, because Moncler's popular models are already selling very fast, and this is the first store in Southwest China, so many models are out of stock before winter.
11:00am
Baby Happy Hour
One of Miss Du's regular programs when she comes here is to take the small train first and then go to the children's playground. These two programs suitable for young children are free, and you can enter with any amount of purchase from the mall. Although it is free, these facilities are very clean. The entrance is also equipped with disinfectant hand sanitizer. There are staff directing everyone to queue up, so parents can take their children to play with peace of mind.
12:00am
Lunch with pandas
Chengdu IFS's "wall-climbing giant panda" has become famous. It takes photos with tourists from all over the world in the seventh-floor sculpture square every day. In fact, this giant panda art installation created by internationally renowned artist Lawrence Azhenzi has a name. It is called "I AM HERE"(Chinese: "I am Here"). It is intended to break the gap between serious commercial space and people, and let us think about our own existence and reflect on the prosperity and development of the city.
? PizzaMarzano
I strongly want to give everyone Amway, a restaurant that can take photos with the panda's C position without waiting in line. It is actually a famous restaurant. It was founded in 1965 in London, England, and was named "PizzaMarzano Pizza Marchano" after coming to China. It can be said to be the Hermes of the Pizza world. Italian food is very popular in Europe and Australia. I have also tried many Internet celebrity restaurants, but it is not really delicious. I have tried many dishes in Masano, but it can be said that I have never stepped on thunder. The taste is indeed very good.
The main theme here is thin-bottomed pizza, with rich and crispy ingredients, which is very suitable for children and slimming ladies who don't like thick pie skins. The lemon roast chicken is tender and delicious, and it's so delicious that it licks your fingers. Every time toot comes to Chengdu IFS, she has to designate this room to eat. She can taste the delicious food while watching the pandas.
It rained on the day we ate, so we couldn't eat outdoors
The rain stopped after dinner, so we took 100 pictures here.
13:00pm
Parent-child reading space
Yanji is also a business card of Chengdu's urban culture. It integrates physical bookstores, coffee culture, cultural and creative products, and salon culture. It is found in many comprehensive shopping malls and is one of the bookstores I particularly like to visit. Although the Yanji on the second floor of IFS in Chengdu is opened in the most prosperous city center of Chengdu, it is a "spiritual habitat" in the material world. The moment you step into its door, the noise outside the door will miraculously be blocked.
There are many choices for Yanjiyou children's picture books, and toot can sometimes stay here for three hours. I have always focused on cultivating my child's reading habits and guiding her own ability to think. The simple educational method "teaching people to fish is better than teaching people to fish" is often covered up by the parent-child filter as parents. We unconsciously impose adult thinking and understanding of the world on our children. I often remind myself of this so that she can have free thoughts. I hope that standardized behaviors and habits can be achieved through words and deeds.
Seeing the picture book on the entire wall, the little girl was happy beyond words. Next is my mother's regular program at IFS in Chengdu. toot and Sister Wu continue to play and rest here. I'm going to buy and buy beautiful things.

La Maison VALMONT
An art museum like nursing space
Friends who have watched my empty bottle sharing video know that I have been using VALMONT Farman products for several years. This century-old brand from Switzerland is committed to finding effective beauty methods to help people resist the traces of time. The first person who let me know about this brand was my cousin who lives in Paris. Her skin can be described as breakable. She introduced Farman to me as follows: "I have studied the active ingredients of VALMONT, and only this 'biological weapon' is truly effective against Chu Lao." Sometimes a woman's heart beats in a moment.
Today I made an appointment for hand care at La Maison VALMONT, Chengdu IFS's first flagship store in China. In addition to the VALMONT skin care series, the store also includes L'Elixir Des Glaciers ice condensation series and Storie Veneziane perfume series. The display in the store is also very beautiful. In addition to experiencing Farman's products and services, you can also appreciate the careful selection of signed artworks by contemporary artists supported by VALMONT Group by the brand founder, Mr. Didier Guillon.
I used the Happiness Mask to protect my hands. It was super comfortable. After finishing it, I felt that the skin of my hands was glowing. I have enough time to prepare for a facial SPA next time. I heard that the professional "butterfly massage technique" is super comfortable. By the way, I would like to recommend the VALMONT moisturizing and soothing skin softening product I have used recently. The skin feels really good when using dry and sensitive skin. However, I recommend that you go to the counter for consultation before shopping. The Soothing and Softening Skin Foundation Repair Spray was recommended to me by the counter's shopping guide based on my skin quality. It suits me so well.

Christian Louboutin
Fatal Attraction
Christian Louboutin said: "No matter what kind of woman is, she will become sexy in high heels." Not to mention a pair of red soled high heels. From Pama. Labelle to Angelina Jolie, from Angun to Mariah Kelly, they are all fans of Christian Louboutin high heels. Every year, he contracts almost half of the shoes on the red carpet. Jennifer Lopez once wrote a song "Louboutins", which tells the story of a woman wearing Louboutins and moving forward after being emotionally hurt.
As the first Christian Louboutin in western China, the store is full of charming retro accents, making people feel like traveling to Paris.
Rivets are also a design feature of Christian Louboutin
Elegance can also be very rock and roll, there is more than one person
Lane Crawford
trend vane
Lane Crawford, as Asia's leading international designer boutique buyer store, combines fashion, art, architecture and other elements. It not only sells trendy products, but also knows how to "sell" fashionable lifestyles. I still remember the surprise of visiting Lane Crawford for the first time in Times Square in Hong Kong ten years ago. It turned out that the store could be decorated like a design museum. Later, every time I went to Hong Kong, I would never forget to visit Lane Crawford. I also learned about many niche designer brands through Lane Crawford. After Lane Crawford opened, I would go around every time I went to Chengdu IFS to see what new gains were.
Left: Rosantica Right: Alexander Wang
The reason why Lane Crawford never gets tired of visiting it is because there are new surprises every time. This time, I have made a new upgrade in the lifestyle area, adding a designer area and a multi-functional model room. WEWOOD high-end solid wood furniture, Swiss V-ZUG home appliances, ALCAROL resin tables and chairs, HÄSTENS bedding, FORNASETTI Art Zone, and TOM DIXON Southwest First Exhibition, etc., all include various lifestyle products, and the first and exclusive brands to jointly create an "ideal home"! As a home enthusiast, you can't walk in the FORNASETTI Art District alone.
TOM DIXON concept installation flash shop
Lane Crawford Platinum VIP Room, the entire Platinum VIP Room is very elegant and comfortable, and you can freely enjoy fitting in a private space. The Platinum VIP Room will prepare some boutique styles for VIP customers to choose from, as well as exquisite tea breaks for guests to taste. It's also shopping, and this environment and service are really comfortable.
At this time, Miss Du had successfully joined me, and her series of behaviors in the platinum VIP room had revealed her genes as a blogger. First, I tasted a panda latte, then chose Maison Michel's dark green ear hat that I liked, and finally took a selfie in the mirror.

afternoon tea time
COVA's Dessert Moment
I heard that COVA, a long-standing Italian dessert shop, opened its first store in Chengdu. It is the only high-end dessert shop owned by LVMH. It originated in 1817. As a sweet-eater, how could he not check in as soon as possible? The store is decorated in a European retro style. When you are tired, you can buy some desserts and eat them in the atrium of the mall. It feels like you are not shopping in Chengdu. It may be fashionable Hong Kong, Bangkok, or Paris.
COVA's mango whipped cream cake is so delicious
18:00pm
dinner time
Tomacado Flower Kitchen
The flower kitchen was screened by the circle of friends as soon as it opened. It felt more beautiful than the photos in the circle of friends. This flower-themed restaurant has a pink and green color scheme as a whole, which is not inconsistent and is not "rural" at all. With French arches, it is full of exquisiteness and high-end. As soon as she entered the door, she felt flowers and fairy aura blowing her face. The girl's heart was instantly ignited.
Flower Chef is not an online celebrity restaurant with its own appearance. We ordered the classic set meal for two. Flower Chef Rainbow Rolls, Vanilla Roast Three Yellow Chicken, and Osmanthus Curried Pig Cartilages are all very delicious. The drink blue butterfly must be ordered, and lemon juice must be added. The moment of color change is so beautiful and healing.
Thai Thai cuisine
In addition, I would like to recommend a Thai restaurant that I like very much-Thai, which is located next to the sculpture courtyard on the seventh floor. This store has just opened for business, but I have been here twice as a passionate believer in Thai food. The taste really conquers me. Fresh shrimp sashimi is a must-order item. Cut off the tail of the shrimp and eat it, and your mouth is full of sour, spicy and crisp; the yellow curry fried crab milk has a strong aroma, and the quality of the crab is also very good. It is delicious when paired with rice; Minglu Pearl Spot is completely my dish. The fish is tender and tender, the sour and spicy with a little sweet taste, and the taste buds are deeply satisfied. In addition, its charge-grilled pork neck meat and Thai drinks are also worth trying.
20:00pm
Summer gravity
special evening
Before September 27, if you encounter IFS in Chengdu on Friday, Saturday or Sunday, you must go to the sculpture courtyard on the seventh floor. Every weekend, it turns into a night high-altitude market at night, bringing together specialty pavements, cultural and creative markets, band performances, outdoor theaters and customized camping tents.
Taking photos and buying at the market feels like traveling to Thailand. However, our Chengdu is now very fashionable and interesting. We can happily shop and entertain without going abroad, and have a vacation at home.
We also ran into a special employee in the square-the "Pineapple Family". They are seven golden retrievers and their job is explosion-proof. Every day from 18:30 to 19:00, they will take photos with tourists in the sculpture courtyard. "Pineapple" is synchronized with the "Green Dog" god in Zhou Chunya's sculpture behind him. It's so fun.
