preface

As a native of Chengdu, he is also a travel blogger.
All of them travel around the world and have written many travel notes around the world.
So every time someone in the circle of friends wants to come to Chengdu, they will send me a private message asking,"I want to come to Chengdu for two or three days. Do you have any recommendations?"
Every time I encounter such a problem, I feel that typing is too troublesome, because there are indeed too many delicious and playful food in Chengdu.
Maybe I can't finish writing 10,000 words. How can a random reply to WeChat solve the problem?
Why don't I just summarize the more classic Chengdu 3-day tour strategies.
A guide suitable for foreigners coming to Chengdu as a reference.
Outsiders come to Chengdu simply to experience life in Chengdu, visit the must-check-in places in Chengdu, and experience Chengdu cuisine.

D1 IFS--Tai Koo Li--Daci Temple
D2 Wide and narrow Alley-Jinli-Jiuyan Bridge Night View
D3 Panda Base, U37 Creative Warehouse

In the past, Chunxi Road was a must-check place when visiting Chengdu. Now the popularity of Chunxi Road is slowly moving eastward.
Now when we talk about walking around Chunxi Road, we usually refer to IFS here.
Chunxi Road Subway Station is also located here, which shows its popularity and status.

The most iconic thing about IFS is the panda hanging on the wall.
Many young brothers and sisters who come to Chengdu come here to take photos with it.

The entire IFS consists of 4 towers, which gather five-star hotels, high-end office buildings and high-end residences. Among them, the twin towers are the tallest, reaching 248 meters.

Continuing east from IFS is Chengdu Ocean Taikoo Li.

Chengdu Ocean Taikoo Li has only been open since 2014. It has gathered many international first-line luxury brands, Michelin-starred restaurants and well-known restaurants at home and abroad. Different people can find different joys when they come to Taikoo Li.

Tai Koo Li +IFS is not only the most popular neighborhood for locals.
It is also a place where foreign tourists must check in.
Chengdu is the most concentrated place for beautiful little brothers and sisters.
It seems that "Little Sweet", who was shaking and popular some time ago, was also interviewed here.

This is now also the place where the most street photography gathering is in Chengdu.
Some street photography organizations and media are waiting at the intersection for the appearance of "prey".
The sun shines on holidays, weekends, or in Chengdu (Chengdu has a unique festival called "The Sun Out")
Many young brothers and sisters dressed in fashion will appear on the streets of Tai Koo Li.

#Daci Temple.
At the heart of IFS and Taikoo Li
This is the most fashionable area in Chengdu, but there is a very old temple.
Daci Temple flourished in the Wei and Jin Dynasties and flourished in the Tang and Song Dynasties
Daci Temple has gone through more than 1600 years
Written a glorious historical legend
The name of the temple was written by Emperor Xuanzong
Its murals are the best in the world, comparable to Dunhuang
Its scale stretches for ten miles and occupies half the city

Once upon a time, this was the holy place where Master Xuanzang received his ordination, where he started traveling westward to learn scriptures; it was a Buddhist temple where eminent monks gathered, where Chinese and foreign Buddhism met; it was the birthplace of the Zen tea culture, and the Japanese and Korean tea ceremonies were passed down here.
Today, this is the Taikoo Li in the ocean, where various internationally renowned brands gather and various artistic sculpture installations are displayed. People feel the integration of ancient and modern times, and check in fashionable and exquisite urban life, allowing history to travel through thousands of years, with the legends still unchanged and prosperity unchanged.

There is a very old teahouse in Daci Temple called Daci Tea House.
It's hard to imagine that you can buy a bowl of tea for 8 yuan a cup in Tai Koo Li.
(The most recent visit, the cheapest vegetarian hair peak has risen to 15 per cup)

Authentic Chengdu Gaiwan Tea
Those who come are all old residents of Chengdu
I often sit for half a day.

I'm almost done shopping around, and I'm hungry!
Here, I will slowly share with you the delicious food around here, which is all a 5 - 10-minute walk away.
First of all, I would recommend a more sophisticated high-end restaurant nearby.

#Brano Spanish Restaurant (Qunguang Plaza Store)
This store is located above Qunguang Square on Chunxi Road. Qunguang Square is also a place I like very much.
It seems to be the only place in Chengdu where a beautiful young lady helps you press the elevator. The service is very good.

When you walk into the restaurant, you feel the strong Spanish flavor. The entire restaurant is decorated in red and black.
Any such photo can produce a very textured photo.

Come with friends and order a cocktail first.
After a day's fatigue, a glass of wine will relieve a lot.
Not to mention a wine with such a high appearance.
(Mojito, dusk, Chinese cocktails)

Garlic fried shrimp:
This tastes quite good and is more in line with our Chinese tastes. I can guarantee that I can't eat such delicious Spanish food even if I go to Spain, hahaha. Each shrimp is peeled and stripped, and the meat quality tastes very Q.

Australian Valley Freared Haojia Steak:
Exquisite dishes, super tender meat, and black pepper, the taste is fragrant and perfect. Highly recommended!

Spanish Iberia ham with sweet melons:
Spanish ham is also a must-order dish when coming to Spanish restaurants. The meat is very delicious and cut very thinly, and the freshness in the meat can easily be emitted into the mouth.

Slow roasted beef tenderloin with spicy green sauce:
Beef tastes very tender and tender. As for spicy food, don't worry about it at all. It's not spicy at all.

Classic Paella:
Paella is one of the three famous Western dishes, on the same footing as French snails and Italy.
Spanish paella originates from Valencia, the capital of fish and rice in Spain. It is a rice food made from Spanish rice.
In fact, it is a flat-bottomed, shallow mouthed, round amphora pan with a depth usually no more than five centimeters.
Spanish paella sells well. The yellow rice grains are made from precious spices. The rice is dotted with shrimp, mussel, clams... Hot and mouth-watering.
As a sign, of course it is a must-click. The bowl is actually not deep, just one layer of rice, suitable for 2-3 people. The sauce in the middle is the soul of the whole pot of rice. Squeeze with lemon juice, the sweet and sour taste is very good.

If you don't think Western food is enough, then let me introduce the special skewers nearby!

#Yigen 'er Cigarette Chuanchuang (Taikoli Store)
If you come to Chengdu, you definitely can't lack a string of them.
What Chengdu people have always liked most is to sit together and eat skewers on the street.
This store is in a good location. It's just a street from Tai Koo Li.
I personally think it is much better than those restaurants in Tai Koo Li.

The bottom of the pot is a bit like a hot pot restaurant. It is served with that kind of solid, and then add the broth and simmer slowly.
The entire pot of the pot still looks quite festive and has a good meaning.

The decoration in the store is also more popular and more Chengdu-style.
There are also quite a lot of tourists here. They usually have to queue for more than half an hour at night to get food.
So try to go early.

The specialty of their family is the big string of lots.
It looks particularly solid, and it is also one of the things I often want to eat here.

Xiaoqian's dishes are also good, including coriander and beef.
The taste is also very good.
In addition, there is an unlimited supply of free fruits, snacks, and lemonade.

In addition to the traditional Qianqian, of course, there are also various plate-shaped dishes, which are all very good.
In fact, the difference between strings and hot pot in Chengdu is really getting smaller and smaller. The taste and service are becoming more and more similar.

The smoky vegetable selection area.

D2 Chengdu must check in: Kuanzhai Alley, Jinli, Jiuyan Bridge

#Wide and narrow alleys
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.

Wide and narrow alleys are the best embodiment of Chengdu's leisure city and market life.
You can feel the customs and delicious food of old Chengdu. Of course, there will inevitably be some foreign customs mixed in.
However, it does not affect the charm of the entire wide and narrow alley.

Kuan Alley is a "leisure life" area and a reproduction of life in old 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 young people hang out in the alleys and spend the entire afternoon leisurely, feeling the pause of time.
Of course, there are also some local Chengdu snacks here, but it is recommended to eat them in the surrounding areas. They will not be worse than in the alleys.

Here, I recommend two restaurants near Kuanzhai Alley to everyone.
You can walk there after visiting the wide and narrow alleys. Whether it is the taste, environment, or price, it is much better than being in the alleys.

#Master of hype·Zhonghua Restaurant (Kuanzhai Alley Store)
The specialties of this restaurant are all stir-fried dishes, similar to their names. I have eaten them once, and they all taste good. Some of the dishes are still spicy.
This store is also a long way away from the wide and narrow alleys and not far from walking distance. The decoration is particularly distinctive and there is also a very cute baby alpaca.

As soon as we entered the door, we were fascinated by this cute alpaca.
The hair feels particularly comfortable. The boss said that it is only 5-6 months old and is still a baby.
Moreover, he is not afraid of strangers at all. He will pounce on beautiful women when he sees them.
Girls with long hair need to pay attention. Alpacas especially like to lick their hair, haha!

Everyone entering the store will bring plum wine, peach blossom wine, and osmanthus wine brewed personally by their store. It tastes good.

This store is particularly popular in Kuanzhai Alley. When we went, we found that many foreigners were also eating in it.
The entire decoration is also particularly Chinese, booming and festive.

Several signature dishes are also my favorite types.
Auspicious treasure:
The treasures in the palm are all very large, and the portions of the dishes are also very large. It's a little spicy.

Eight Treasure Spicy Chicken:
The chicken is very tender and tastes very crispy. The ingredients, peanuts, are also very delicious. Spicy and sesame are perfectly combined, making the taste unique.

Big Buddha Red Oil Bowl Chicken:
The bowl chicken without a signature is also very large, and I feel like I haven't finished it for a long time. It's full of chicken, chicken offal, etc., which is still a little spicy.

Spicy dried beef mixed with:
The tender beef and dried tofu are mixed together. It tastes like hot pot. The beef is very tender. The dried tofu is chewy and very suitable for serving with wine.

#Luhemen Frog Hotpot (Kuanzhai Alley Store)
If you don't think cooking is enough, there is also a beautiful frog hot pot restaurant near Kuanzhai Alley on this road.
It opened in August, and I only recently had time to eat. The sky had just turned dark, and the queue had already begun at the door.

I ordered their signature: Yellow pepper pot, which doesn't look spicy at all, but in fact, I feel hotter than the one at the bottom of the red pot.
However, this taste is really different from what we usually eat. The taste is quite good. I strongly recommend that if you come, you order a yellow pepper pot to try it.
The frogs here are all killed fresh, and after they are ready, their way of serving food is also very unique.
The waiter carries a long bamboo tube to serve the food. This way of serving is to jump into the water and ignite the fire to start cooking.
While cooking, the waiter will set an alarm clock. After the alarm clock rings, you can start eating.

The decoration of their home is also very grand. After all, it is a newly opened store, and the hardware facilities are still very particular.

While eating, the seat next door suddenly became lively.
Looking up, I was shocked. Why are there so many beautiful women suddenly here?
Hearing the voice, it seemed like it was still Smecta...
All of them have big breasts, thin waists, and long legs...
Look at the frogs in the pot, they are all long legs.

Beautiful women are just too eye-catching
As a result, I ordered an extra pound of frogs and ate an extra round... Hahaha!!

#Jinli Ancient Street:
Compared to wide and narrow alleys
I seem to like Jinli better.
Jinli is Jinguan City, one of the oldest and most commercial streets in the history of Western Shu.
It became famous across the country as early as the Qin, Han and Three Kingdoms periods. It is mentioned in some famous poems.

Jinli is a famous pedestrian commercial street in Chengdu. Jinli Ancient Street relies on Chengdu Wuhou Temple,
Adjacent to the Jinjiang River in the north and facing the Rainbow Bridge in the east, it takes the spirit of the Qin, Han and Three Kingdoms as its soul,
The style of the Ming and Qing Dynasties serves as the exterior, and the folk customs and customs of western Sichuan serve as the content. History and modernity are organically combined.

In Jinli, famous snacks from almost all over Sichuan are gathered.
Although the price is more expensive than outside, if you have limited time and want to experience all the snacks,
I don't think I can find another place.

Sichuan people love to eat rabbit heads, but this foreigner may not accept it
"Tutu is so cute, why eat it?"

In Jinli, not eating snacks is the biggest regret.
The more famous ones are the buckwheat noodles, three cannons, beef scorched cakes, yellow glutinous rice, sugar and oil fruits, etc.
Sweet water surface, cold noodles, and stewed vegetables with color and aroma are all good.
There is also a restaurant that sells fried stinky tofu and potatoes, which are also famous snacks in Sichuan.

#Jiuyanqiao Nightlife, experience Chengdu's specialty bars
I would recommend almost everyone who comes to Chengdu to visit the Jiuyan Bridge at night.
In my mind: Chengdu's most beautiful night view is here, and there is no one.

Bar Street at Jiuyan Bridge, Anshun Covered Bridge, Shangri-La Hotel, Chengdu
These three elements are all my favorite Chengdu business cards.

When the Shunlang Bridge was built is still unknown.
The most accurate record about it is that in the early years of Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, Anshun Bridge was called Hongqiao
During the Qianlong period, due to the dilapidated structure of the bridge, the bridge was in danger,
At that time, Huayang County Magistrate An Hongde mobilized the people to rebuild the bridge.
He gave it a new name-Anshun Bridge, in order to seek a good sign of peace, stability and prosperity.
Three hundred years after wind and rain, Anshun Bridge was washed away by a rare flood.
At the beginning of the 21st century, Anshun Bridge was built several times before it could restore its general appearance.

Next to the covered bridge is Chengdu's famous bar street. On one side is the tavern of Jiuyan Bridge, and on the other side is the famous Chengdu Lan Gui Fang.
I prefer the many small hotels in Jiuyan Bridge. Maybe the next star will be born here.
Zhang Liangying and Yu Kewei both come from these taverns in Chengdu.

This bar I go to often"Isuke"This is the place where Yu Kewei once fought.
After so many years, every time I pass by, I will come in for a drink with my friends.
Talk about your recent life and miss the past.

Chengdu has changed a lot in recent years and its popularity has become greater and greater.
There are also many more tourists coming to Jiuyan Bridge than before.
Their resident singer still maintains a very high standard.

Ordered a cocktail tower set and
I just think it's beautiful and the romance of the Paris Tower.

There is also cocktails with stewed vegetables in the set meal
Only Chengdu can taste this combination.

My wife is not very good at wine tasting,
But one praised their small dishes, especially the fried cabbage, which was really more delicious than the ones in many restaurants.
If it weren't for the fact that my stomach was still full after dinner, it would really feel like I would order a separate portion.

There are many stories about Jiuyan Bridge
I won't talk much here. The legend of Jiuyan Bridge is spreading on the Internet.
Jiuyan Bridge is a symbol of Chengdu,
The nightlife of Jiuyan Bridge is also a symbol of Chengdu's nightlife.
If you like music and wine, I suggest you don't miss this place.

What is the most important thing not to miss when coming to Chengdu?
Perhaps everyone's answer is different. Some people say it's Chengdu's delicious food, some say it's Chengdu's beautiful women, and some say it's Chengdu's unique rhythm of life.
But there must be a little cute that is worth seeing when you come to Chengdu, and that is our baby panda.
The silly and cute national treasure is envied, but it is deeply loved by people all over the world, and Chengdu is also one of the main gathering places for giant pandas.
Chengdu's giant panda breeding base is located in Futou Mountain outside the Third Ring Road in the northeast of Chengdu City. In order to see the babies, you have to leave early in the morning. This time in the morning is also the time when the panda babies are most active.

#Eastern suburbs memories
The former Chengdu East District Music Park is a multicultural park integrating music, art, drama, photography and other cultural forms.
Industrial ruins themed tourist destination, art and culture exhibition settlement, literary and artistic creation exchange park, Chengdu cultural and creative industry highland.
This place not only carries the collective memory of a generation, but also embodies the dreams of many contemporary Chengdu people.
The dialogue and collision between old and new, history and modernity, tradition and fashion, past and future are like a vivid "journey of time" in the memory of eastern suburbs.

On weekends, this is also a favorite place for many cos enthusiasts to gather.

Finally, let's recommend a gourmet restaurant that has become really popular recently in Chengdu as the finale.
I also learned about this place because my friend said he was planning to open a franchise store in Shuangliu.
It is the place where the Tongzilin family in Nanmen eats Huajiao chicken in a very Hong Kong-style manner.

#Buzhan Huajiao Chicken (Tongzilin Store)
This store is very close to Tongzilin Subway Station, just a few steps away from the subway station.
From the entrance of the store to the restaurant on the second floor, it is full of Hong Kong-style retro style.
Hong Kong-style signboards with colorful lights, as well as pawnshops and pharmacies on Hong Kong streets.
It really feels like coming to Hong Kong.

Entering the door on the second floor is the background of Hong Kong Tin Hau MTR Station.
If I were just taking pictures, I would really think it was Hong Kong!

Recently, many young Internet celebrities have come here to shoot short videos on Douyin.
It's really easy to take a photo of a large area of the outbound wind.

We ordered one of their signature meal,
In addition to flower gum and chicken, there are also other side dishes and various seafood. I think the value for money is still very high.

The chicken is smooth, soft and tender.
The soup base is light, the color is very beautiful, and it feels very fragrant when drinking.
I am tired of eating hot pot every day, and Huanhuan's light taste is also very healthy.

The amount of flower glue is also full, and the dishes and environment are suitable for this price.

The waiter peeled the Jiwei shrimp for us and sent it back. Very sweet.

We came at noon and there were already a lot of people.
However, fortunately it was not a weekend and we came early, so there was no queue.
If it's night, it's better to arrive early.

The road sign at the door is also copied from Hong Kong

Isn't the entrance of the restaurant very Hong Kong?

Corner of the restaurant on the 2nd floor

all right
Let's write so much for everyone for the time being.
In fact, in Chengdu, I don't think there's much to play with, the main thing is to eat.
Of course, there are still a lot of fun around Chengdu.
For example, ancient towns, parks...
I have time, so I will summarize the short-distance one-day tour routes and two-day tour routes around Chengdu and recommend them to everyone.
Compared with these, Chengdu's food updates faster.
Whenever I have free time, I will personally visit various places and eat delicious and special food.
Let's recommend it to everyone one by one.
Come to Chengdu,
Please be prepared to gain weight!
