After eight years of absence, I set foot on my hometown again. There is an indescribable taste, bitterness, joy, and helplessness. If there was no hope, there would be no disappointment. Apart from disappointment, only the beautiful scenery of my hometown could soothe my lost heart. Cooling is cooling across the country, and this place is no exception. Snowflakes were flying all over the sky, and the mountains were covered with snow.

With a casual tap, you will see a series of landscapes. Made a little snowman, haha.

The roads on the mountains are very dangerous. They cross mountains and beams. The roads are basically Z-shaped, and a sharp turn will be made every time, which can especially test the driver's skills. I met a flock of sheep on the road, and the copper bells on my necks jingled.

There are also fat finches on the branches, and I feel like they are almost unable to fly.

This time I had to go to Chengdu to visit anyway, so I bought a train ticket and it only took 2 hours to get there. Overall, it was quite convenient. But in Greater Sichuan, the journey from the township to the county is also very long, and it takes several hours to take a random bus. The journey is always tiring, especially this time when it is physically and mentally exhausted.

When I arrived at the station, I was greeted by the warm winter sun, newly decorated red lanterns on the street and small flowers in the green belt that did not know what winter cold was. There will be more plants and flowers here in spring or summer, right?

Two students heard that I was back and made an appointment to have dinner together that evening. They lived near Kuanzhai Alley and happened to pass by an interesting flower shop. They prepared a bunch of flowers for each of them, hoping they would like it.

Of course, hot pot is indispensable for dinner. It is so interesting to find that all the hot pot ingredients in this city have folded ears. Sichuan people cannot live without peppers, but they also need to relieve the fire. The natural antibiotic folded ears is used.

I learned the whereabouts of many classmates and teachers from them. I suddenly felt like I had returned to that youthful years. Unfortunately, time passed and they were middle-aged.

The most people I found here were "pandas". There were pandas on buses, pandas on road signs, and even a stuffed panda was placed on the hotel TV.

On the second day, I signed up for a group to visit Qingcheng Mountain and Dujiangyan.

We set out early in the morning, and it was still dark. The flow of people arriving at Qingcheng Mountain was basically zero, avoiding the peak period of the Spring Festival. The advantage of traveling alone is to stay away from the hustle and bustle, not to care about other people's opinions, and not to listen to other people's opinions. You can do whatever you want. In the process, you can taste life, get to know yourself, and meet the better yourself.

As soon as I entered the scenic spot, I saw many towering trees and precious nanmu trees, which were basically four or five hundred years old. Listening to the tour guide while walking, the air is very good, and the content of negative oxygen ions here is very high. Taking a deep breath makes people very comfortable.

Taoism advocates Tao Tao and nature, so the pavilions built are also made of common bamboo, wood, and mud grass. The road up the mountain is not very steep, and there is a cable car ride after about 15 minutes. Because a large part of the vegetation leaves turn yellow in winter, it must be quieter and greener in summer.

On the way up the mountain, I met a black cat, which was a bit fierce.

To be honest, I don't really understand the "great path of inaction". It may mean that we should follow the laws of nature and let things develop naturally. Unfortunately, many times, we can't do this in real life, which adds to the trouble.

You can play for half a day. When you go down the mountain, you see artificial smoke, which feels a little fairy.

At noon, I followed the tour guide to have a group meal. The taste was really good. There were special dishes such as Mapo tofu, Kung Pao chicken diced, cold noodles, especially kimchi, which was very refreshing. After eating, head to the next attraction: Dujiangyan. I have heard of your name for a long time before, but this time it is an eye-opener. First take the Yunlang escalator up the mountain. Next to the escalator are stone steps. I walked up through them before building the ladder. It should be very tiring.

There is a Yulei Pavilion on the mountain. Climb the fourth pavilion and look into the distance, and you can see the full picture of the water conservancy project.

The carved railings and painted buildings are beautiful. The ancient carpenters were really amazing. They could carve an ordinary window or beam so delicately and aesthetically.

The bronze statue of Li Bing and his son. They built Dujiangyan, which really benefited the people and generations to come.

This is a favorite tree of Taoism, crape myrtle, without bark.

Later generations built the Erwang Temple in order to thank Li Bing and his son

There is also a small section of the ancient tea-horse road that has been preserved here. This pillar on the wall is used to tie horses. At that time, merchants tied the horses to it when resting, otherwise the horses would run away.

I really envy Chengdu people for being able to use such clear and pure Minjiang River water.

On the left side of the house is the first treasure bottle mouth. Water flows into the Chengdu Plain from here, irrigating thousands of acres of fertile farmland, bringing a prosperous and happy life to millions of Chengdu people. The ancients were really amazing. Take this water conservancy project as an example, how much wisdom and courage of craftsmen have been condensed. Although human beings are small in front of nature, they have fought against it through this project and turned hostility into friendship.

Faucets that spray water:

It was already past 6 o'clock in the evening when I returned to Chengdu, and my stomach was growling. I quickly found a string store and asked the waiter to find no ingredients that weren't spicy. My stomach was so bad. He also said it was slightly spicy, but in my opinion it was heavily spicy. Looking at the floating pepper grains, the scalp is tingling. Fortunately, the skewers are very fresh and delicious, especially the beef slices. They are very chewy and not synthetic. Who invented the string? It's so troublesome to string the ingredients one by one.

After dinner, I walked around the wide and narrow alleys, and the rabbit lanterns were in place. There is a strong commercial atmosphere here, and there are shops selling snacks and souvenirs. There are some shops decorated more interesting and are good places to take photos.

On the third day, we went to Du Fu Cottage. Because I went to see a lot of natural scenery the day before, I felt that there was nothing special after arriving here. The entrance fee of 50 yuan is a bit expensive, but Du Fu is a poet I like very much.

I bought a cute panda at the door and laid it on me, but unfortunately it fell out later.

In the afternoon, we went to People's Park to experience the slow life of Chengdu people. A cup of clear tea and a plate of melon seeds, sitting on a bamboo chair near the lake, quietly in a daze. Time flows slowly like this, without rushing or rushing.

Heming Tea House, the price is quite reasonable.

The snack I saw on the street after coming out, brown sugar sesame balls, looked delicious, but my stomach couldn't hold it anymore. After chewing melon seeds for so long, I drank several cups of tea.

Next stop, Chengdu Museum.

When I left the subway entrance, I saw a long line queuing to buy beef patties. So I joined in. After eating it, I felt that it didn't seem that delicious. However, the naan in the stall next to me looked great, so I bought a few. I chose the rose filling mixed with raisins and peanuts. It was really delicious. The surface looks hard, but the inside is very soft. It is said that the naan can be kept for more than 10 days without any problem. If you are full, you can carry it with you.

The corner of the Chengdu Museum is very majestic. Is there any wood?

There are many treasures inside, such as this stone rhinoceros. Li Bing and his son chipped a total of 5 stone rhinos and dropped them in different places to suppress water essence. You look a little naive, haha.

The following one is a Sanxingdui cultural relic. I don't have time to go to Deyang. It's also nice to enjoy it up close.

Gold jewelry of the Ming Dynasty:

The following is a shadow puppet display, each as lifelike and as thin as cicada wings, fully embodying the craftsmanship of the craftsman:

Back at the hotel, I took a nap. This store was much better than the previous two days, and the owner was very helpful. Sitting in front of the window can watch the traffic on the street and the sunset.

For a moment, he seemed to feel better.

Chunxilu, here I come.

This giant panda has attracted countless people to take photos. I AM HERE, but why is it so sad?

Colorful lights on Tai Koo Li Street are welcoming the arrival of the Lunar New Year. Prosperity is like a dream.

I wonder why there are temples in prosperous areas. The more noisy it is, the more it shows the purity of the eminent monks.

It looks great, SpongeBob Sugar Man.

Ended the day with a small bowl of sweet and sour crispy potatoes for supper. Haha, there are broken ears in it.

On the fourth day, he headed home. Subway station in the morning:

This is my first time in Chengdu, and it may be my last time. Who knows? After all, this is our life. We can't explain it clearly, let nature take its course. Bye~

On New Year's Eve, we had lunch at an altitude of 10,000 meters-seafood rice (the pickled cabbage inside was very delicious, although we didn't see much seafood), and fruits and yogurt were also good. Pick up a coke and drink to yourself, wishing yourself a happy New Year, new hope and a new journey in the new year.
