I can't remember how many times I have visited Chengdu. Every time I mention this big city, nicknamed the "Land of Abundance", the song will always ring in my ears.

In that rainy town/I have never forgotten you/Chengdu/I can't take away/Only you/Walk with me on the streets of Chengdu/Oh/Don't stop until all the lights are out

It seems that every time I go to Chengdu, I never see the sun. That city always has a faint melancholy temperament.

This time, it took three days and two nights to stroll around. Don't go to scenic spots such as Dujiangyan, Wuhou Temple, and Du Fu Cottage, nor go to Kuanzhai Alley, Jinli and other tourist check-in places.

Visit parks, bookstores, Taikoo Li; visit teahouses, cafes, bars... More importantly, we are looking for Chengdu cuisine.

That night, wearing a small dress, walking on the streets of Chengdu, the lights were first on. Thinking of this strange city, no matter how many times I come here, I always like it.

A journey that is not in a hurry is more of a lazy stroll. I hope you like it as I do.

home away from home

Several times, I didn't stay in a hotel when I went on a trip. Instead, I chose a favorite "home" at Tujia B & B. This time, Chengdu was no exception.

I booked a room in advance and the location is very good. It is a 200-meter walk from the subway "Second City Hospital" station. It is only more than ten minutes 'walk from Tai Koo Li and Chunxi Road.

Check-in the afternoon and opened the door without disappointment.

This B & B is called the fifth day of the day-Xiaohan. There are many styles in the fifth day series. When I first saw this set, I didn't consider anything else. On the 18th floor of Chengdu Chopard International Apartment, on weekends and holidays, the room price is 358 yuan per night, which is very cost-effective.

I like B & Bs because of my personality. Every B & B is unique, so the memories of the journey are relatively profound. Most hotels are the same and forget after staying there.

This is a room with one bedroom, one living room and one bathroom, with a favorite tea-tasting area. This is like my home on the journey.

Living in such a B & B generally has no service or breakfast. The advantage is that no one will disturb you. After check-in, the landlord sent a message saying: "The bedding is changed one by one. Slippers, towels, water cups, etc. have been disinfected, so you can use it with confidence." Smiling.

There was no bed in the room, so Simmons were placed directly on the floor. But I like the gray cement wall very much. The window can overlook the Laocheng District of Chengdu.

It is simple, black, white and gray, which is deeply in my heart.

Except for the floor, the bathroom is pure white, minimalist and looks clean. By the way, the landlord said that for environmental protection, you need to bring your own toothbrush.

After staying in this room for two nights, I was still reluctant to part with him when I left. The sofa lying in the living room, the unfinished book by the bedside, and the cushion held in the tea tasting area will all become memories.

Eat the oysters and support them

Sitting on the sofa in the B & B, reading for a while, it was evening and going out to find food. I went to Oyster Hero (Taikoo Li Flagship Store), which is a ten-minute walk from where I live, and I often have to queue up.

This is a restaurant that specializes in oyster buffets. For 96 yuan per person, you can eat oysters. The value for money is really a bit high.

The decoration in the store is very fresh, with green chairs echoing the large area of green planted walls. During dinner time, the location is basically full.

Oyster Hero-Self-service Fresh Oyster Shop, now open an unlimited supply of raw oysters. This place is really a blessing for oyster lovers. Published in the circle of friends, many people lamented: "Why don't my city have it?"

That night, it was drizzling in Chengdu outside the window. In the house, oysters and garlic creaked on the grill.

The Oyster Hero buffet also includes many free snacks and desserts, all of which are of good quality.

In addition to unlimited quantities of grilled oysters, steamed oysters are also good. Different tastes, it is recommended to try them.

The mountains of raw oysters are all freshly opened and fresh. If you like to eat raw oysters, come here and enjoy it.

In addition, there are all kinds of barbecues, grilled shrimp, grilled squid, etc. However, although it is self-service, it is recommended to take it on demand to avoid wasting food.

Come on, let's go to the tavern for a drink

What makes me cry is not just the wine last night/What makes me reluctant to part/It's not just your gentleness

When you come to Chengdu, you must sit at the door of the tavern, listen to the Chengdu dialect around you, and experience the nightlife of young people in Chengdu.

Jiuyanqiao Bar Street is famous in Chengdu. Like the narrow alleys, almost everyone knows it. In Chengdu, the symbolic significance of Jiuyan Bridge is even a microcosm of an era.

Walking on Jiuyanqiao Bar Street in the night, you truly understand the artistic conception expressed in Zhao Lei's "Chengdu", a person with a story and a song full of affection.

Walking around casually, when I passed by the "Isuke" bar, the singer happened to be singing a favorite song. Let's go in and sit down.

By past ten o'clock in the evening, the night in Chengdu had just begun. The Isuke Bar was almost full, and it was not easy for a table of guests to get up before getting a good seat.

It is said that this store has been in operation for more than ten years and is a representative of Jiuyanqiao Qingba, where singers such as Yu Kewei once sang.

I sat in Isuke Bar for more than two hours and found that there were really waves of resident singers in the store. They all sang at a high level and in various styles.

I ordered two nice special cocktails with flashing lights. In fact, most of them don't come to bars to get drunk. It's great to listen to music and feel the atmosphere.

I ordered a stewed vegetable set meal with four meats and three veggies. The standard of the chef is very good, and these dishes are really good.

That tipsy night, everything in my eyes was shining.

Why not spend the night? Luchuanqu

On the way back to the B & B, I passed a braised kebab shop called "Deqi". There was an opening flower basket at the door. Why not spend the night and have a kebab?

It's late at night, but there are still many people here. It's really a big city!

This is a chain restaurant that specializes in braised kebabs. Kebabs + beer, the correct way to open midnight snack?

The sauces are very particular, including plum sauce, bean paste, hoisin sauce, and different ingredients. For example, plum sauce is suitable for pairing pork and chicken ingredients.

The fish skin of cold dishes is very good, but the taste of QQ is not very spicy.

This piece of shredded potatoes surprised me when it was served. It was very creative!

The secret magic weapon of this store is several large stewing stoves, which is why this place is called stewed kebabs. This special stewing oven seals the most authentic taste of the ingredients inside, which is very different from the usual barbecue taste.

I was full of wine and vegetables, so I returned to Xiaohan, where I lived on the fifth day of my life. Outside the window, I also quietly fell asleep.

Go to the People's Park to have tea

I slept in, got up and ate a bowl of noodles downstairs. Why don't I go to People's Park for tea?

There is a Heming Tea Room in Chengdu People's Park. It is a century-old teahouse suitable for being in a daze. It is said that there are many old tea customers here, so you can experience the life of local people in Chengdu.

It is said that Chengdu is a leisurely city, and people's entertainment is either playing mahjong or drinking tea. It was a rainy day. When we arrived at People's Park, we could walk a few steps from this famous tea house.

You can drink afternoon tea here with the clear clouds and clear wind and squint your eyes to spend a lot of time. There is a cozy scene in the park, with boating, walking, birds singing and flowers fragrant.

This Heming Tea Room is really hard to find a table. Most of them are elderly local people.

I also mixed in and pretended to be old. I ordered a cup of Heming Maofeng for 22 yuan and drank it slowly.

This is a time-honored Chengdu brand that serves breakfast and afternoon tea.

Looking around, there are people chatting, playing cards, picking ears, reading books, dozing off, everything. This is full of fireworks!

Since you are in Chengdu, you must feel it when you dig your ears. It costs 30 yuan for 3 minutes to pick up ears, and 100 yuan for 5 minutes to pick up ears and wash ears. The price in Chengdu is not cheap!

I like doing nothing like this. In a strange city, no one knows me, and no one needs to think of me.

Eat a pebble fish hot pot

What should I have for lunch? Go to Zhimin Road and choose a shop. Zhimin Road can be said to be a well-known snack street in Chengdu, with many Internet celebrity restaurants.

Passing by Fisherman Fish Cuisine, the sign says pebble fish hot pot, but I have never eaten it before, so let's try it!

As soon as you enter the door, the decoration in the store is all made of wood. The old benches, tables and chairs have the flavor of the old Chengdu market. There are also fishermen's coir coats, fishing nets, and bamboo hats hanging on the walls, which are arranged like a fisherman's home, with a good atmosphere.

I ordered a few small dishes and placed them on the outer edge of the hot pot, which was easily designed into a turntable.

Fishman's homemade drink is quite pleasant, cold and transparent.

Instead of ordering fish, I ordered beautiful frogs. The waiter places a large portion of beautiful frogs on the hot pebbles in front of you. The frog meat is tender and tender, and the homemade tofu is very good. It has the taste of tofu I ate when I was a child.

The classic red soup pot ordered at the bottom of the pot can be selected according to your preferences for the spicy degree of slightly spicy, medium spicy and heavy spicy. It was found that the pebbles had excellent thermal insulation performance and were still hot after a long time.

Afternoon in the cafe

It's chilly in the afternoon and I don't want to go anywhere. Why don't you go and visit the Taikoo Li in the Ocean? It's been a long time since I went shopping like a girl and enjoyed the fun of shopping.

Chengdu Ocean Taikoo Li is located in the center of Chengdu, very close to Chunxi Road Subway Station. The neighboring thousand-year-old temple Daci Temple adds unique historical and cultural charm to it. If you have enough time, you can also visit Daci Temple.

It has a unique atmosphere where history, culture and business blend, and you can also enjoy a good time in a busy urban center. It gathers a series of international first-line luxury brands, trendy clothing brands, Michelin-starred restaurants and well-known restaurants at home and abroad.

When I am tired from shopping, finding a beautiful coffee shop to sit around is my favorite way.

On the second floor of Yueshifeng Yin is a cafe full of greenery. It is very eye-catching when looking in from the outside. Let's make this one.

"Desserts are so cute. Can I have one?" "No, you are too fat!" he said.

I ordered a cup of green tea latte and sat by the window in a daze. Outside the window, most of the people visiting Tai Koo Li are young people, dressed in fashion, which is also a scenery.

Lazy people's favorite restaurant

I returned to Zhimin Road for dinner and went to Chengdu to eat customers.

This is the second time I have come here, and I can't forget about his naked shrimp. It's really suitable for lazy people like me.

Sichuan-style green pepper grilled fish slices are a must-order at almost every table, at 88 yuan per serving. The fish slices are uniform in size, without thorns or bones. They are strung on bamboo sticks, making it convenient and practical. The quality of the fish is delicate, soft, fresh, spicy.

Duck sausage dipped in water costs 28 yuan and tastes very tender. I also ordered strange sweet and sour pork ribs, mandarin duck boiled beef, etc., each dish was full of color, aroma, etc.

Naked Tuotuo shrimp is 49 yuan per serving. The peeled shrimp meat is poured with hot oil to make it vivid and easy to eat.

Two times I came to this store, I had to queue up when I was full. It was a very popular store on Zhimin Road.

Old taste, the most Chengdu

After leaving the door of Chengdu's diners, I saw a large number of people queuing up for the "roadside spicy soup" not far from next door. My friend said that with so many people queuing up, it would be delicious. Why don't we also queue up?

What a glutton. I just got out of the restaurant, and I'm still so greedy. So I got a number and took a walk along Zhimin Road for a while.

The old taste is the most popular in Chengdu. The roadside has always been very popular. It is a suitable place to have midnight snacks.

The low blue tables and low stools in the store are steaming hot and have a Chengdu feel.

The Malatang here costs 50 cents a stick, and I can eat more than 60 sticks alone, which is only 30 yuan. I habitually ordered a classic pot bottom for 28 yuan.

In addition to Malatang, many small dishes here are worth recommending to you.

Ice powder for 5 yuan, brown sugar glutinous rice cake for 15 yuan, Bashi small potatoes for 9 yuan... Each one is classic.

Every time I eat spicy soup on the roadside, I feel satisfied.

Night in Tai Koo Li

Because the B & B I stayed in was too close to Tai Koo Li, I went to Tai Koo Li for a walk at night. As night falls, the lights begin to turn on. Relatively speaking, I prefer Tai Koo Li at night.

I remembered the last time I came here, I went to Daci Temple next door to drink tea. Now, where did the tea drinkers go?

It is said that there are many beautiful women and Internet celebrities shooting videos here in Taigu at night. Why didn't I find them? I always tease my friends, I am not an Internet celebrity, I am just a middle-aged girl who loves to trouble. haha.

I like this kind of post-meal walk. Every window is beautiful.

Unfortunately, it's too late, and the bookstore where I want to check in is closed, so come tomorrow. I like this free travel, everything comes from my heart.

Why don't you go shopping in the bookstore with me?

Vacations that can't sleep in are all hooligans.

Get up, stretch, and say good morning to the whole of Chengdu. After breakfast, I finally checked in to this long-cherished bookstore, located on the basement floor of Taikoo Li, called Fangsuo.

The literal meaning of Fangsuo is the direction place. The poet Li Gang's "Preface to the Combination of Hua Yan Jing in the Small Words": It is like a huge sea, but it has no horizon; you must observe the stars, which is the place to distinguish.

Fangsuo's first domestic store was in Taikoo Hui in Guangzhou, and the second one opened in Taikoo Li, Chengdu in 2014. But the scale of 4000 square meters far exceeds that of the first store.

This is not a simple bookstore, but an integrated new cultural space covering books, clothing, aesthetic goods, coffee, plants and exhibition space.

How can you miss such a fashion landmark?

Quiet bookstore, quietly flip through books, still like paper books, like the texture and weight of books in your hands.

I found several small shops selling clothes in Fangsuo Bookstore. The clothes they sell are very nice. You can go and have a look.

A seafood restaurant with too high value

During the trip, the most asked question was what to eat later. After visiting Fangsuo Bookstore, it was lunch time again. A few steps away, you will arrive at Jiyu Thai Seafood Hotpot (Tai Koo Li Store).

It is said that this store starts queuing at three o'clock in the afternoon, and by five o'clock, there are already more than eighty or ninety tables waiting, and this is the case every day. Fortunately, it was a non-weekend noon, so queuing was okay.

The interior decoration is refreshing, full of green, and feels like traveling through the tropical rainforest of Southeast Asia. The appearance is extremely high, and dining in such an environment feels like a kind of enjoyment in itself.

Can you believe it? All the desserts and snacks in this pushed cart are free at Jiyu? Many diners come for the free desserts and snacks from Jiyu's house.

Thai shrimp slices, rabbit pudding, mango glutinous rice... Everything is delicious and full of little happiness.

The newly launched drink is called Grapefruit Ice Powder Bubble, which has a very good appearance.

Since it is seafood hot pot, seafood must be ordered. I ordered a double set meal for 198 yuan, which is really not expensive. The seafood platter has a huge lineup, including live shrimp, abalone, mussels, fish slips, shrimp slips...

The shrimp peeling service here is very suitable for lazy people like me. Every waiter here knows how to peel the shrimp shell completely.

The squirming live abalone and six abalone were still writhing around when they were served! Six abalone 19.9 for each, which is really super cost-effective!

Lava bursting pearls are a signature dessert, priced at 48 yuan per serving. Many people will record videos at the moment of bursting. The waiter is very considerate and will not start until you are ready.

Once again, Chengdu, three days and two nights, was about to leave. Every time I go to Chengdu, I am never disappointed. In fact, just for these delicacies, it is worth visiting Chengdu.

Such a lazy vacation, those parks, bookstores, clothing stores, teahouses, cafes, bars... Do whatever you want and be free.
