attractions

IFS (Chengdu International Financial Center)

I believe everyone has seen the wall-climbing giant panda of Internet celebrities, which has become a symbol of Chengdu. This is a must-check point when coming to Chengdu. In the Chunxi Road area in the center of the city, IFS and Taikoo Li have formed Chengdu's hottest fashion business district in the past two years. The unique design is perfectly integrated with local culture, creating a large number of Internet celebrity photo spots in this area. One of the most eye-catching and well-known symbols is the giant installation on the top floor of IFS, the giant panda climbing the wall.

Taikoo Li

Tai Koo Li is a place where young trendy people gather. Shopping focuses on the middle and high-end. In addition to various urban fashion brands and clothing fashion brand, the most worth visiting here is the MUJI World flagship store and the specialty bookstore "Fangsuo".

The Chengdu Ocean Taikoo Li project is unique. It has intertwined lanes and open square spaces to present different urban pulses. At the same time, it introduces the concepts of fast and slow lanes, setting a trend model for an international metropolis.

The simple, elegant, open and free architectural style of western Sichuan folk houses, the ancient streets and alleys that have been inherited to this day, and the city style and humanistic charm of old Chengdu have been preserved and reproduced. The refreshing city center is about to regain its vitality and continue to write more about the future. possible.

fangsuo bookstore

Fangsuo has become an Internet celebrity check-in bookstore. The design here is very interesting and everyone who comes to the studio for the first time will be shocked. The 8-meter-high column, 37 differently shaped columns, and the ground covered with the trajectory of the planets have turned the bookstore into an underground palace and has become a must-visit literary and artistic destination in Chengdu. Fangsuo Bookstore mainly collects books in the fields of design, art and architecture. It is also a comprehensive lifestyle brand that provides coffee and exhibitions. This is not just a bookstore. Many high-pressure release design techniques are used in spatial design. For example, the elevator design becomes a mysterious tunnel through which to pass. The purpose is to let people entering experience the feeling of entering the palace of books and a gateway to knowledge. Ocean, the door to hope.

Fangsuo Bookstore is located on the lower floor of the commercial street. Daci Temple was the place where Xuanzang became a monk in the Tang Dynasty in China, and later went to the Western Heaven to learn scriptures. So designer Zhu Zhikang used this allusion as a bookstore design idea!

Touching Chengdu with reading, bookstore designer Zhu Zhikang took over the project. After 14 years of design work, Zhu Zhikang is more pursuing perfectionism. How to make breakthroughs and become better has become Zhu Zhikang's biggest challenge.

kuanzhai alley

After Emperor Kangxi put down the Junggar Rebellion in 1718, he sent eight banner officers and soldiers to garrison Chengdu and established the "Mancheng", also known as the "Shaocheng". The Qing government stipulated that the activities of flag bearers in Shaocheng were strictly restricted to 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 beginning, there were about 42 hutongs in Shaocheng. Today, only three hutongs remain: "Wide Alley","Narrow Alley" and "Jingli Alley". Although the current wide and narrow alleys are relatively commercial, it has still become a must-visit place for friends who are coming to Chengdu for the first time. There are many embossed and well elements in the well alleys. You can't miss them.

Kuan Alley is a nostalgic area with an old face. Kuan Alley's name was 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.

A 400-meter-long east-west sculptural wall in Jingzi Lane is the first museum in China to use bricks as the carrier. Old bricks with different historical sections are built through artistic creation to form platforms, cities, walls, roads, monuments, and gates. Chengdu's historical and cultural fragments such as Chengdu's thousand-year history illustrate the thousand-year-old Chengdu and interpret the century-old history. The western section of the cultural wall ranges from "Baodun City Lost, Jinsha Bamboo Clay" to "Yangzi Clay, Qin Built City Wall", and then from "Han Brick Heritage, Tang Dynasty Building Luo City" to "Song Brick Ancient Road, City Destroyed at the Late Ming Dynasty". It shows the vicissitudes of Chengdu.

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.

food

1. Ru Zaishu (Yulin Road Store)

If it was in Shu, if it was in Chengdu, a pot of delicious food would be as good as in Shu, and everyone would like to taste it. The first meal in Chengdu started with a hot pot meal. At night, I came to Ruzai Shu Hot Pot Restaurant to check in. There are many delicious food on Yulin Road, and the must-eat hot pot should be "Ruzai Shu". There were already many people lined up at the entrance of the shop around 6 o'clock. They took a number and waited for almost 40 minutes.

I ordered the bottom of the red oil and mushroom soup, and poured boiling water on the spot after serving it to the table. The soup base is very delicious, fragrant but not spicy, and suitable for more consumer groups. For me, it is a bit different from the imagined Chengdu hot pot, which makes me love Chengdu and hot pot even more. Secondly, the handmade bean curd and bean sprouts in the pot are very delicious when eaten after the soup base is boiled.

Laying tripe: Blanch it for 8 seconds and eat it. It is crispy. The food in the restaurant is indeed not a name for itself. Fish roe shrimp slip: Different from the shrimp slip eaten in hot pot in the past, it retains large pieces of shrimp meat and tastes more delicious and Q-bomb.

Fennel Crispy Pork: Freshly fried Crispy Pork, dipped in an old Chengdu dry plate, is fragrant and crispy, and can be eaten directly. Individuals prefer to put it in the bottom of a red oil pot and rinse for a few seconds before eating it. Impregnating beef in red wine: Put an upside down red wine glass in the middle of the plate. The red wine will slowly soak into the beef and then rinse it and eat it for a unique taste.

Osmanthus Ice Tangyuan: Make a crazy call to the Internet celebrity Ice Tangyuan. The cold and cool sand ice combined with the soft and glutinous taste of glutinous rice is a magic weapon for solving spicy food. Eating a bowl at halftime was so satisfying. This is probably one of the reasons why many people come for it.

2. Chengdu Canker (Zhimin Road Store)

In Chengdu, when it comes to going to a Sichuan restaurant, you have to mention the number one Sichuan restaurant in Chengdu,"Chengdu Eater". The decoration in the store combines local characteristics of Chengdu, including Kuanzhai Alley, Chunxi Road, Heming Tea House, etc.

Chengdu diners define dishes with "New Sichuan cuisine", and have innovated on the basis of traditional Sichuan cuisine to reflect their own characteristics. In a city like Chengdu full of pepper flavor, customers who come to Chengdu can order a few special dishes and reward their stomachs with delicious food. Don't think that there are only Sichuan dishes, but there are also barbecue kebabs that you think you can only find in alleys. When eating customers in Chengdu, it can be said that they will never step on thunder no matter how much they order.

Roasted pork belly: Fat and lean pork belly. The meat pieces are of moderate size, roasted with sizzling oil, and the spicy degree is also moderate in the range acceptable to many people.

The signature dish loves the specialty grilled fish slices: It can be said that it is a must-order dish for customers in Chengdu. One fish is eaten for two. The fish will be first made into a pickled cabbage fish soup, which will be delicious, and then the sliced thin fish meat will be made into skewers. After roasting until fragrant, put into the spicy soup, and then grilled slowly on the bottom. The fish is tender and spicy. It is served with pickled cabbage fish soup. It is one of the signature dishes worthy of it. Naked Tuotuo shrimp: The shrimp is peeled off and strung on a bamboo stick. Soak in the spicy soup. When eating, the shrimp head and tail can be peeled off by gently pulling the shrimp head and tail. The shrimp meat is tender and tender, and the string is string after string. Can't stop at all.

Tremella pear soup: The pear soup held in a thermos is very special and heart-warming, with just the right sweetness. Eating spicy grilled fish slices and tuotuo shrimp, paired with warm Tremella pear soup, Ba Shi Very good.

The long-standing Internet celebrity store is indeed not a name for itself. After eating, you can stroll around Chunxi Road and the slow-paced life in Chengdu is within reach. Chengdu Canker (Zhimin Road Store)

Address: No. 48 Zhimin Road (150 meters walk from Exit B of Xinnan Gate of Metro Line 3)

3. Malatang on the roadside (Zhimin Road Store)

I have planted grass for a long time, which is Malatang on the roadside. This time when I come to Chengdu, I will definitely not miss this string of delicious food and complete the task of weeding.

As soon as you enter the store, what you see is gray bricks, red tiles and stone walls, canteens, low tables and small benches and yellowing lights on the roadside, which is particularly life-like. Instantly, memories jump back to childhood moments, as if traveling through the 1980s and 1990s, when the roadside entered the hearts of thousands of foodies with nostalgic, retro, and youthful decoration styles. The tableware used for dining is also very "sentimental". Carrying a dustpan and selecting strings, it is full of age. I believe that such an emotional string of delicacies can evoke many people's childhood memories. It makes people want to shout "Long live childhood". Three or two friends were eating Chengdu's authentic skewers of spicy hot cakes and talking about life. It was really enjoyable.

Mao Nao Hua is highly recommended. It is fragrant but not spicy, super tender, and melts immediately in the mouth. The beef series tastes good. If you don't know what to choose, you can't go wrong.

I love small sausages most. It is neither dry nor hard and a little sweet. I, a person who doesn't like small sausages, ate at least thirty strings. This is probably the charm of roadside. The sour horn juice is super delicious. When eaten with skewers, it relieves the spicy food without bloating your stomach. You can eat more skewers. It also has people who cross the roadside, a shop that makes people want to eat again and again. In Chengdu, it is life to have wine and skewers!

The price for a string is 0.5 yuan, which is very cheap. Dip dish: Strain a spoonful of hot soup with a filter spoon and scoop it into a dry dish. It tastes great. Finally, I have a serving of brown sugar ice powder. It's perfect.

4. Dalongyi Hotpot (Taiguoli Store)

I remember the last time I saw Dalong Yi was abroad, and I was deeply impressed by this hot pot restaurant because I didn't know how to read Yi at the time. This hot pot restaurant has been well received, and even many stars have come here. Naturally, we will not miss this trip to Chengdu.

The butter bottom here is definitely a specialty. Buts of butter and stir-fried spices will be served directly and boiled in front of us. Eating hot pot ingredients in Chengdu is definitely the soul of delicious food. A can of special sesame oil and some auxiliary ingredients are mixed, and they can't stop.

Tongwei fish skin, fresh tripe is definitely a must-order. Each dish will have a brushing time and will be carefully marked. Only when you have the right grasp of brushing and cooking will bring the best delicious experience. We also ordered goose sausage and special sausages, which were really delicious and very appetizing.

Eating hot pot with ice powder is definitely a perfect match. It was cool and sweet, and instantly felt like the whole person was alive.

5. Zui Xichang (Hongyun Store)

In a city with a bright and romantic nightlife like Chengdu, the night at the beginning of winter is particularly biting. How can you not reward yourself with an authentic Xichang barbecue? This time, I saw that Drunken Xichang's main player was little fragrant pigs, so I grabbed friends and immediately rushed to Drunken Xichang.

The design of the store makes people feel very comfortable and has an outdoor style, which meets the barbecue needs of different people. I can't help but think that the people of Chengdu really know how to live. Before that, I had eaten a variety of Korean Japanese barbecues, but I only admired Xichang's bold and unconstrained barbecue, which gave me a bit more of a Jianghu flavor, authentic Xichang flavor and brauen barbecue.

Even if the cold wind was blowing outside, I still wanted to sit outdoors and have a barbecue over charcoal fire. As soon as I sat down, the waiter served a pot of charcoal fire. I heard that I could only roast internally with electricity. I was a little happy that I chose to sit outdoors and experience it. A more authentic Xichang Huafen barbecue. There will be someone responsible for setting, roasting and cutting each table, so there is no need to worry about whether you may not control the heat well and not being able to bake it with its true and original flavor.

The Daliangshan Running Mountain Ecological Little Xiangpi Pig really didn't let me down. The pickled and seasoned little Xiangpi pig poured out of oil as soon as it was put on the grill, making a crackling sound. It was moderately fat and lean, with Q bullets in the meat, and served with a dipping dish. Full of happiness, I especially recommend you just dip it in the sour plum sauce. It is sweet and sour and refreshing. I prefer this eating method and asked the waiter to add the sour plum sauce several times.

Bamboo skewer: When you come to Zui Xichang, how can you not order a bamboo skewer? A large piece of small fragrant pork is served with a large bamboo skewer, roasted on charcoal fire until the outside is charred and tender on the inside. Holding a large skewer of bamboo skewer in one hand and a bottle of sour horn juice in the other. How can you say it is a truly bold and unconstrained Xichang barbecue. You can also try the pork belly with pickled cabbage. Ordinary pork belly is dipped in a dry dish, served with pickled cabbage and wrapped in lettuce. It is sour and spicy but not greasy.

Address: 3rd Floor, Building 13, COFCO Hongyun, No. 333 Huiyuan North Road (Vientiane City)(750 meters walk from Exit G of Dongda Road Station, Metro Line 2)

6. Xunhuan braised mutton kebabs

Chengdu has many characteristic fly restaurants, and inconspicuous shops are often crowded. This time, I came to Jiuyanqiao's Xunhuan Braised Mutton Kebabs. It seemed to be an ordinary small shop, and many people came here because of it.

There is a very conspicuous big pot at the door. It looks like it has some history. All the delicious food in the store comes from here. Only the mutton made by the most traditional braising method can truly lock in the original flavor. The main focus of Xunhuan is mutton kebabs. Lamb chops are also the main attraction for seeking happiness. With one bite, the oil will overflow from the delicious mutton, stimulating the taste buds, and the fragrance will overflow in an instant.

The heat and time of the braising and roasting are very particular, so as to ensure the tenderness and juicy nature of the mutton. The store serves a whole plate of mutton, mutton kidneys, mutton chops, and chicken wings with full portions. There are also vibration-pop models, French cuisine and golden cakes. This is a must-order food when you come to seek pleasure. Ask three or five friends to eat kebabs and drink beer. The night in Chengdu is so leisurely and comfortable.

There are many grilled prawns, grilled corn, and chicken wings.

The crispy golden cake wrapped in mutton is simply delicious in the world.

7. Jiyu Thai Seafood Hotpot (Tai Koo Li Store)

I have been to Thailand many times. From north to south, cities large and small have a passionate love for hot pot. I will never get tired of eating it no matter how many times I eat it. I would find Chinese hot pot to eat in Thailand and Thai hot pot in Chengdu. It's a wonderful experience. There is such an online celebrity shop in Chengdu,"Jiyu Thai Seafood Hotpot". Because I planned to go to Tai Koo Li, I chose this famous Thai hot pot in Chengdu to change the taste of the hot pot. After eating, I can also visit Tai Koo Li to digest food.

We arrived at mealtime, and there were already people waiting at the door in twos and threes. We took a number and found an empty seat and sat down. It took me almost an hour to wait before my turn. This made me tell myself again, yes, this is the characteristic of Chengdu. Life is leisurely and slow. It seems that everyone does not need to be busy for work and life. Working days and weekends are not very different for such a tourist city. Feeling the people of Chengdu's love for food and life adds another point to the city's love.

Entering Jiyu, you will be greeted with a strong Southeast Asian flavor, which is completely different from the decoration of the previous Sichuan-style hot pot restaurant. When it comes to Thai food, I believe that the first thing that comes to mind will be tom yum soup. In Jiyu, the first choice is the special tom yum pot bottom. Add in the secret soup bag and secret coconut milk, and the main soup base of the hot pot will definitely be irresistible.

The freshest seafood, shellfish, and fresh shrimp, and the service is particularly good. I will help cook it and even help arrange the shrimp shells. Seafood is paired with special sauces. For us who eat traditional hot pot most these days, we can change the taste and bring a strong impact on the taste. We also ordered salmon, which was full and delicious. The only regret was that the lobster in the store did not arrive.

The desserts in this store are also very recommended. We ordered the steamed cake, which tasted great, sweet but not greasy. There is a strong aroma of milk floating, and different sparks collide on the tip of the tongue. There is also Thai specialty mango glutinous rice, and durian glutinous rice can also be selected from the store. The first-class glutinous rice is paired with very fragrant coconut milk and mangoes to regain the feeling I had in Thailand.

Antique classical garden courtyard style hotel

This is Chengdu's first classical garden courtyard hotel. With a variety of specialty rooms, we stayed in the Dream Lily zero-pressure twin room on the 4th floor. The front desk was very friendly and sent us local travel guides made by the hotel, which was really thoughtful.

The most noteworthy thing is that the hotel also has a mini movie theater, where guests can watch movies for free. Nowadays, the hotel is really hard to work hard. Not only that, the hotel also has a self-service laundry room, where guests can do self-service laundry for free. Really good!
