preface

Hello, everyone, I understand from Chengdu. Having been a tourist for so long, I have been sharing various travel strategies with everyone, and many friends who follow me have also asked me many questions about travel photography. To be honest, because I am in Chengdu and have a busy job, I can't often bring you travel guides from all over the world like other big shots, but! Regarding Chengdu, it can be said that I can't understand it more well. This time, it was still a fan who found the understanding. He hoped that before the National Day tourism craze, he would avoid the crowded crowds and take a relaxing trip to experience Chengdu's every bit. I also want to take advantage of the fact that there are not many people at the moment to tell you about Chengdu now and how to enjoy it during National Day. This time, the girl is super like a star (I understand, I think she is super like Chen Qiaoen?), And she is an e-sports girl (Yu Qi)~

About the route this time：

Kuanzhai Alley--People's Park--Chunxi Road--Taikoli--U37 Creative Warehouse--Yulin understands this. Friends can use it as a reference for coming to Chengdu on National Day. First of all, the fan this time is a girl. She has never been to Chengdu. This is the first time she has traveled to Chengdu. Therefore, such landmark attractions as Kuanzhai Alley and People's Park, which are representative of Chengdu's culture, must definitely take her to it once. Then there are two places: Chunxi Road and Tai Koo Li. After all, little girls like to go shopping, and Chunxi Road is also a prosperous and fashionable communication center in Chengdu, so naturally we can't let go of this place. Then this little cute told me that she didn't have a "cold" when talking about hot pot. Instead, she liked some snacks in Chengdu and Sichuan. So she understood and chose to take her to a restaurant that integrated some local snacks. A shop inside to solve the lunch problem (Regarding whether to recommend the final push or not, you can go to the article to see our overall feelings.) When we were shopping in the afternoon, we found a famous snack restaurant in Leshan and even Sichuan. Here, we understand "cracked walls". Everyone in Amway must check in. Finally, we went to two places, u37 Creative Warehouse and Yulin. u37 itself is a niche attraction in Chengdu, with relatively few people. I believe there won't be too many during the holidays. Then Yulin, this place has always been popular since Zhao Lei's "Chengdu", but everyone only knows it is a Yulin tavern, but Yulin's own heritage and culture are actually more outstanding than a tavern, so let's go and take a look together.

preparations for travel

Regarding preparations before traveling, I understand the several suggestions for everyone here. The first is that if you come to Chengdu, you can download a Tianfutong APP. This APP allows you to directly use the electronic QR code without purchasing any subway cards or bus tickets. It is very convenient for friends from other places. I understand. I brought a camera here this time. It is an older Nikon camera, the D7000. What I want to tell you here is that the quality of the lens and camera does not determine the quality of your photos. Taking pictures well requires you to go over a long period of time. I understand this time, I will still tell you which scenic spots should pay attention to the key points for taking photos. Then the weather in Chengdu during this period is actually relatively compared. Generally, most of them are cloudy. Then we also picked a relative. Cooler days. Finally, I will list the things that need to be prepared one by one. (I hope to be able to come to Chengdu soon and to prepare for the National Day) must-have items: umbrellas (the weather in Chengdu has been unpredictable recently, so it's better to bring them with you), camera, mobile phone (both transportation and consumption are available), thin coat, and trousers. Prepare a set (it's a little chilly recently)

The narrow parts of life are relaxed and the heart are relaxed-wide and narrow alleys

In order to carry out today's journey in a planned manner, I made an appointment with Yuqi in Kuanzhai Alley early. Our one-day trip also starts here.

Kuanzhai Alley is located near Changshun Street, Qingyang District, Chengdu City, Sichuan Province. It consists of a wide alley, a narrow alley, and a well alley arranged in parallel. It is all antique courtyards made of indigo bricks and tiles. It is also a relatively large-scale ancient street of the Qing Dynasty left in Chengdu. Together with Daci Temple and Manshu Yuan, it is called the protected district of Chengdu's three major historical and cultural cities. Although it is still early, on daily weekends, the wide and narrow alleys are already crowded with people at 10 o'clock.

Kuanzhai Alley is also one of the landmarks of Chengdu City, and its popularity is no less than Jinli, another old street in Chengdu.

At that time, the wide and narrow alleys were also called the "Shaocheng". At that time, Kuanzhai Alleyju (Shaocheng) was inhabited by children of the Eight Banners. However, the Qing government stipulated that the activities of the Banners in Shaocheng were strictly restricted to the Mancheng, and they were not allowed to engage in occupations such as industry, agriculture and commerce. Therefore, the flag men gradually became proficient in gardening, planting flowers and raising birds and other skills, and developed idle living habits. Such casual and leisurely habits have influenced Chengdu people, giving rise to "teahouse culture","mahjong culture","catering culture" and other urban cultures. At the earliest time, there were about 42 hutongs in Shaocheng.

Today, the "wide alleys","narrow alleys" and "well alleys" we see are the three alleys left behind by Shaocheng.

The name of Kuan Lane was called Xingren Hutong during the Xuantong period of the Qing Dynasty. There are many buildings in the narrow alleys from the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, including some Western-style buildings left by the church. Kuan Alley is a "leisure life" area and a reproduction of life in old Chengdu. There is the Old Chengdu Life Experience Hall on the wide alley, where both the customs and old Chengdu folk customs are here.

In a private house in a wide and narrow alley, tsk, the strength of Old Chengdu is too terrible.

Not only are the folk buildings left behind by old Chengdu, but the dazzling array of delicious food in the wide and narrow alleys is also overwhelming and dazzling. (Here is a reminder for everyone that the snacks and delicious food in the wide and narrow alleys are really good at a glance. Not only are the prices expensive and not delicious, this is the voice of a group of Chengdu people. There are snack recommendations behind, everyone stay firm!)

There are often craftsmen selling paintings in the middle of the wide and narrow alleys. I have to say that the old master still paints very similar paintings.

Narrow Alley is a "slow living" area that displays the courtyard culture of old Chengdu. Most of these courtyards are occupied by stylish bars and restaurants. Tourists and cultural people hang out in the alley, spending the entire afternoon leisurely and feeling the time. Stop. Narrow Alley is an exquisite lifestyle area with the themes of various Western catering, light catering, coffee, art and leisure, healthy living halls, and characteristic cultural themed stores.

Some people say that if they come to Chengdu without having their ears pierced once, they will not enjoy the comfort of Chengdu people. This mother-in-law seems to want to stay in Chengdu, hahaha. (Personally, I think the width is a bit expensive, so People's Park can take a cheap one)

Come across a super good-looking foreign lady and give you a feast for your eyes.

The landmark of the word "wide and narrow" is also located in the narrow alley. Everyone must come here to check in!

Recently, the bronze figures who have been chattering and getting angry have become a must-do for many people when they go to wide and narrow alleys. (20 yuan for 3 tickets)

Jingxiang Lane was called Ruyi Hutong during the Qing Dynasty, but it was not until after the Revolution of 1911 that it was renamed Jingxiang Lane. Although the well-known alleys are not as wide as the width and width, and the flow of people is less, they are more peaceful and comfortable. If you think the people in the narrow alleys are too crowded, it is also a good choice to visit the Jing alleys ~

At the busiest time in the morning, when you walk to the other end of the wide and narrow alley, there are already people outside. Recently, due to the arrival of the 70th anniversary of the motherland, there are also free historical exhibitions here to experience.

Address: east of Tongren Road and west of Changshun Street, Qingyang District, Chengdu City.

Transportation Guide: Kuanzhai Alley Station on Metro Line 4, Tonghuimen Station on Metro Line 2.

Understand tips:

① Don't buy too much delicious food in the wide and narrow alleys. If you are really hungry, buy one or two to cushion your stomach.

② There are too many people in the narrow alleys, so you must take good care of your belongings. (Especially those who are preparing to come for National Day)

③ Because there are many people in the wide and narrow alleys, it is recommended to choose a smaller scene to avoid too many people. If you have a tripod, you can try to delay the shooting.

Bamboo benches and bowls-People's Park

If you want to talk about where the comfort of Chengdu people's life can best be reflected, nine out of ten Chengdu people will tell you,"You will know when you go to the People's Park." Chengdu People's Park was built in 1911. For Chengdu people, it is an activity center from small to large, covering an area of 112639 square meters. It is the largest open landscape, architecture and historical park in the center of the bustling urban area.

Monument to the Sichuan Army Road Protection Movement of the Revolution of 1911 (super proud)

At the most famous dating corner in Chengdu People's Park, parents print out their children's information and place it on both sides of the road like commodities. Uncles usually sit around and play chess, and aunts usually sit around and chat.

When you come to People's Park, you must go to Heming Tea House. Heming Tea House is one of the oldest traditional teahouses in Chengdu. It is nearly a hundred years old. As one of the first batch of historical buildings listed for protection in Chengdu in 2012, Heming Tea House's western Sichuan style buildings give people a feel of traditional old Chengdu.

The old man who sells painting fans sells a small 30-year-old one, which personally thinks is still a bit expensive. But Grandpa painted super seriously and calmly.

Bamboo benches and a bowl of tea. We each ordered a bowl of tea. Sitting on the crunching bamboo bench, chatting and taking photos, the effect is also super beautiful.

Yuqi took a sip and frowned slightly. She told me that this tea was much more bitter, but in this atmosphere, all this was so appropriate.

The leisure of Chengdu people and the casual nature of Chengdu people are vividly displayed in this old tea house. Mahjong, long cards, and ear picking can also gain a different tranquility amidst the hustle and bustle. Chengdu's uncles and aunts are all super photogenic

Chengdu people like "Heming" not because it is clean here, nor because there is a bend of clear water here. It is probably a permanent mystery how many cups of tea have been brewed in the market for more than seventy years. It is because it is very market. It is indeed a good place for ordinary people to spend their time without deliberate or pretentious. It is the kind of leisurely place in Chengdu people's bones, where they drink tea after finishing things. Perhaps, you can find a real flavor of Western Sichuan life here.

Address: No. 12 Shaocheng Road, Shudu Avenue, Qingyang District, Chengdu

Transportation Guide: Metro Line 2 is directly connected to the People's Park Bus Station. It's a quick walk to the People's Park Bus Station. It's a quick walk.

Understand little TIPS:

① Heming Tea House has one seat for one person, and each person has one tea.

② The cheapest cup of tea is Mao Feng for 13 yuan per cup.

③ Don't affect others when taking photos. You can have meals here at noon and the price is average.

Midday foraging

When I stayed in People's Park until noon, Yuqi also told me what I wanted for lunch. I also took her to a Xiaotan Bean Blossom restaurant near Chunxi Road. I also randomly chose one, so I had to resign myself to my fate if it tasted good or not. There are several options from People's Park to Chunxi Road. One is to take the subway and the other is to take the bus. Because we went to a place to eat, we didn't choose the subway, but the bus that is closer to the place to eat. When we arrived at the lunch place, there were not many people. There was a family who was also a tourist eating noodles here.

There are all basic Chengdu snacks here. We ordered two bowls of sweet water surface, one dandan noodles, one ice-drunk bean curd, and one steamed beef with powder (we two girls actually ate so much). Let's talk about sweet water surface. It tastes pretty good, and Yuyu also ate it quickly, telling me that this sweet water surface tastes very good.

I'll just show you pictures of Dandan noodles in the back. Personally, I recommend sweet water surface, but the rest are average. I calculate that as a local I will also step into the trap. When did Dandan noodles taste so strong? (I think people with big tastes will find salty.) This really makes me a little ashamed. It still looks quite delicious, right?

Finally, the only thing that performs the most normal is this iced drunk bean curd, but the alkali water taste seems to be a little too much. I don't know if everyone can taste it when they eat it.

In the end, neither of us could finish eating much, but we still thought that we would go to our next stop, Chunxi Road, and see if there were any comfortable delicacies that could make us recover some blood. After we came out, we immediately went to Chunxi Road, the most prosperous center in Chengdu.

The prosperous core of the world is full of Internet celebrities-Chunxi Road

Chunxi Road is one of the oldest commercial streets in Chengdu and the third commercial street on the "China Commercial Street Ranking". Today's Chunxi Road is still very lively, connecting Zhengkejia Lane and Shuwa Middle Street to form the most prosperous business district in Chengdu. It has also become a shopping paradise.

Not only that, Chengdu's iconic Internet celebrity panda is also located on the top floor of IFS on Chunxi Road. Since we are here, of course, we have to bring Yuqi, who has never been to Chengdu, up to make a card. Panda rolling on the 7th floor of IFS. You can take the elevator from the 1st floor of IFS to the top floor. If you want to visit the big brands in IFS, you can also go upstairs from the escalator at the door.

There were so many people at the scene, and I didn't expect Chengdu to become so popular now.

Taking advantage of my free time, I also hurry up and ask Yu Qi to go up and make a card.

It was actually out of the sun, and the entire platform on the roof suddenly became super hot (friends who came from National Day should be protected from sun protection!)

Many people may not know the significance of this panda, right? I also want to tell you here: This giant panda, which is composed of more than 3,000 triangular members, is named "I Am Here" by its designer Lawrence Argent. The author not only makes us think about ourselves through the device. The existence of ourselves, but also reflects on the development and prosperity of the city, reminding people not to forget to care for the precious creatures like pandas who are on the same earth as us while commercial development."

There are also food activities upstairs recently. Friends who want to feast their eyes and tastes can go and take a look, but there weren't many people when we went that day, maybe because of the bad weather ~(The price is a little expensive, hee)

Address: No. 8, Zhongshamao Street, Jinjiang District, Chengdu City

Transportation Guide: Chengdu Metro Line 2 and Line 3 will pass through Chunxi Road.

Understand little TIPS:

① There are no tickets here for Panda and it is free.

② There are many people who need to take photos in an orderly manner.

③ Friends who feel that there are too many people in front of them can choose to be slightly behind and shoot through borrowed places to produce good works.

Modern City-Tai Koo Li

Leaving the IFS Building, we went to Chengdu Ocean Taikoo Li. Ocean Taikoo Li is the commercial center of Chengdu and one of Chengdu's fashion landmarks. It is close to Chunxi Road and backed by Daci Temple. It is an integrated open area integrating shopping, food, leisure and entertainment. Similar to Sanlitun in Beijing, Chinese-style buildings combined with post-industrial design, coupled with the street atmosphere of slow life in Chengdu, are deeply loved by young people.

There are a dazzling array of fashion brands here, as well as mouth-watering Internet celebrity delicacies. In general, whether Internet celebrity delicacies or luxury brands gather here one by one. Before Yu Qi came to Chengdu, she always saw fashionable street photos from Taikoi on the Internet. Before she went, she was still thinking if she would also be regarded as a model (hahaha, as a result, I didn't see any street photos. I don't know if we went at a bad time)

No one expected that in such a prosperous area, there would be a temple that Chengdu citizens like to visit-Daci Temple.

When you come to Tai Koo Li, you must go to the online celebrity store LINE Friends to take photos; I really like this big bear. It makes my cute sister heartbeat and my sister scream. I don't know if you are excited!

The children all like it very much. Mothers with children can come here to check in as much as possible.

Personally, I think the Sun Boy here is more interesting

There is also an area similar to a station on the side. I really envy Yuqi's figure

Any place you find in Taikoi in Chengdu is full of design. The thing you feel most is that in Taikoi, you can see Chengdu's old street culture, Chengdu's temple culture, Chengdu's trend culture, as well as foreign art exhibitions, all of which make people feel the feelings of life in Chengdu.

Although we took beautiful photos, we still didn't solve the problem that "we didn't have enough at noon", so we opened the comments and wanted to find something to eat.

Leshan zui hot snack-Jiumei Phoenix Claw opened to Chengdu

Speaking of the delicious food on Chunxi Road, I recommend that everyone go to the snack street outside EGO Trend Plaza to check in. Firstly, there are many specialty snacks from all over Sichuan here, which are really good; secondly, after eating, you can visit the trendy squares where young people like to consume. Although the weather was cloudy and unpredictable that day, the place still attracted people from all walks of life. People came and went, making it extremely lively.

The popular snack street on Chunxi Road has always been a lively scene whether it is weekdays or weekends.

What surprised me was that I found Leshan Jiumei Phoenix Claw here, and hurriedly joined the queue with Yuqi. Speaking of this, many friends from other places may not know about Jiumei's chicken feet. I would like to introduce it to you here. I used to go to Leshan often. Leshan's food is the best in Chengdu. Jiumei's chicken feet are Leshan's most representative famous snack, and the taste is really great. Chunxi Road is the first directly operated store of Leshan Main Store in Chengdu. Then I took a reassurance that I no longer had to worry about trapping Yuyu, which would make up for the pit I stepped in at noon today.

There is a young lady at the door holding various flavors and you can try them. This expression is full of scores.

When we came here, we found that there were really many people. Maybe you didn't pay attention when you bought it, and there would be a lot of people behind you. Many people bought it for two kilograms. This is really amazing.

There are 4 flavors in his family, garlic, pickled pepper, double pepper, and Maotai-flavor. After comprehensive evaluation, we unanimously decided to recommend the signature garlic flavor. First of all, there is no garlic flavor in your mouth after eating it, so the little fairy doesn't have to worry about it. Secondly, the spicy flavor brings a hint of sweetness, and the spicy flavor will slowly rise to the top. Garlic flavor is the most important thing among them (but definitely not for lunch). At first, we only bought a small box of chicken feet. The taste was really enjoyable. The two of us finished it in a short time.

The garlic flavor is very delicious, and the chicken feet have no fishy smell (the key reminder is a little spicy after eating it, but it really can't stop).

Immediately afterwards, Yuyu and I decided to pack a full portion of chicken feet and eat it while walking. Yuyu, a delicious mouth, couldn't help but start directly. (Because there are too many people on Chunxi Road, we bought it in a hurry and we got it. We bought a large box of U37s that we ate while walking along the road. It's so great to sit here and eat it.)

After only eating one or two, my hands are already so red.

Use Jiumei's method to show everyone's caution

Let me show you that the garlic and spicy red can match the poplar forest on Yuyu's lips, and the mouth is also spicy and swollen. Two people are chewing chicken feet in such a literary environment. Hahaha. (Do you have any friends who want to come and compete with us? See whose mouth and hands are redder?)

The other three flavors will not be recommended one by one. They can meet the needs of different flavors. They are definitely not a trap, but garlic is a must-buy flavor!! Draw the key points!! Yuyu kept telling me to do purchasing for her after she returned. The garlic flavor of Jiumei's chicken feet was simply overwhelming and addictive! Of course, in addition to Jiumei's chicken feet, Chunxi Road also has many Sichuan specialty snacks. Compared with the width and width, the price and taste here are much better. Snapper roast, red bean stuffing is delicious and cheap, grilled squid skewers, grilled ribs, fried chicken nuggets, stinky tofu, pot helmets, bowl chicken... you have everything. Friends who like shopping and delicious food can come here first and eat a collection of authentic Sichuan snacks, eat while shopping!

Address: No. 163, Shangdong Street, East Street (outside Yigou Trend Square, Chunxi Road)

Transportation Guide: Chunxi Road Metro Line 2, you can walk a long way from the subway.

Understand little TIPS:

① Jiumei's chicken feet are recommended not to buy it too late every day. Many times they will be sold out in advance.

② In addition to chicken feet, you can also try their small potatoes. They taste great.

③ If the Yigou Trend Plaza where Jiumei's Phoenix Claw is located is on Chunxi Road, many young girls may go to visit it. It is the Yigou Trend Plaza, because the clothes here are many styles and very cheap. Many of them are sold here at the purchase price. Maybe you, um, sometimes you only cost more than 100 yuan each when you are a freshman. This is also a must-go place when you understand the student party.

Chengdu must go to take photos-U37 Creative Warehouse

There are two options from Chunxi Road to U37 Creative Warehouse. One is a small yellow car, and the other is Chunxi Road Metro Line 2. Take it to Niuwangmiao Station and get off. The riding time of the small yellow car is about 15 minutes, and the subway walking time is nearly 20 minutes, so I personally recommend riding the small yellow car. There are no forks in the way, and the road is still easy to find.

This place was originally a warehouse and factory building of Chengdu City Pharmaceutical Group. Most of the buildings here were built in the 1960s/70s/80s and have distinctive characteristics of the times. The greening in the U37 park is as complete as its rich historical deposits. The trees are shaded and vines cover the exterior of the building.

However, although the geographical location of the U37 is not as superior as the memory of the eastern suburbs, there is such a place in the bustling downtown area of Chengdu. It is not easy to be a recuperation place for literary and artistic youth, which also makes the U37 more tranquil than the memory of the eastern suburbs. The lively mahjong tables in the community

In fact, the one thing that was not optimistic about that day was that the weather was sometimes rainy and sometimes sunny, and it started to rain while shopping, although it was not heavy. Small shops like this are regular visitors to U37.

A piano. Want to try it?

There are also many interesting graffiti in U37, and every place is worth experiencing and checking in.

Many people and couples like to take photos here in the phone booth, but today it's just the two of us. Let me take photos for you.

I understand that this picture is simply Chen Qiaoen himself. It really looks like it.

Every time there may be a cat-attracting magnetic field around my body, and the little sister who is with me at any time has no shortage of cats.

Every small shop in U37 can be said to have a literary and artistic heart, and meat is a must-have here.

Walking out of the U37 Creative Warehouse, we still feel that we are not finished. Whether it is the rusty door, the signs that have been corroded by rain, and the integrated stores that are full of art and art, they have all become an indispensable part of the downtown city of Chengdu. There was another kitten at the door

Address: No. 37, Henan 3rd Street, Shuinian, Jinjiang District, Chengdu City, Sichuan Province (near Jiaozi Concert Hall)

Transportation Guide: Take Metro Line 2 to Niuwangmiao Station, walk 950 meters

Understand little TIPS:

① A favorite place for photographers. It is easy to take pictures here. If you take pictures well, you must come here and have a look.

② There are many integrated stores for literature and art, and the prices are relatively affordable. There are not many people on holidays and weekends, so it has always been a niche attraction.

③ Mosquitoes pay more attention to mosquito repellent water.

The non-existent Yulin Road-Yulin Bistro

Farewell to U37, we headed for today's last attraction, Yulin West Road, which is also where the tavern is located. Many people know Yulin Road because of the tavern, but they don't know that there is no "Yulin Road" in Chengdu. The "Yulin Road" in "Chengdu" also refers to an area. Before Zhao Lei became popular, I was still listening to his live version of "Chengdu". Yulin is not an Internet celebrity attraction in my eyes, but an ordinary street full of old Chengdu's cultural customs.

Baked potatoes taken out in the old community. I recommend your baked potatoes. They are super delicious. After roasting, the skin of the potatoes will be crispy and fragrant, and it will be slightly sweet in the mouth.

We finally arrived at the destination tavern. When we first arrived, it had not opened yet. It was still about half an hour away, so we waited here for twenty minutes.

Everyone, pay attention to the time later ~

In the end, he entered the tavern and was the first wave of customers. (The light inside was too dark, so I didn't take rain pictures. I also walked for a day. Let me mainly tell you about it) Although it is a tavern during the day, the atmosphere inside still makes people feel like they are in Chengdu at night.

In a short while, the seats were full, and there were really many people. Since "Chengdu" became famous, the tavern has always been the most yearning place for tourists and fans. The Chengdu in "Chengdu" is wonderful and dreamy, and it brings everyone endless fantasy and beauty.

When we came out again, it was already dark and there was a long line at the door.

Address: 55, Yulin West Road, Wuhou District, Chengdu City, Sichuan Province

Transportation Guide: Take Metro Line 3 to the Provincial Gymnasium or Yiguanmiao Station, and you can walk there

Understand little TIPS:

① Friends who want to drink in Yulin Bistro must come to Yulin in advance to stroll first

② There are many people here at night, so pay attention to taking care of your belongings

③ The price of drinks is still relatively acceptable, and even 50 per capita is impressive. If you drink it like water, forget I said anything.

Feeling for the Nth time-the ending

Regarding this tour photo, this is my Nth trip to Chengdu. I typed a long paragraph and then deleted it. To be honest, I have photographed Chengdu many times, but every time I understand it, I find that Chengdu is different. The beauty of Chengdu is becoming more and more familiar to me. It is like home. Every street and street in Chengdu can be vividly remembered. Every traveler who comes here and, through my leadership, discovers and experiences the beauty of a city.

There is a Chengdu in everyone. I can't say that I will show you a Chengdu that suits everyone's inner thoughts, but I will definitely show you what kind of city Chengdu you are coming to is.

But I do know

Chengdu is really a city that you don't want to leave when you come here

Its gentleness, enthusiasm, literature, busyness, market...

Everything eventually becomes something you can't let go of
