Food: The land of abundance on the tip of the tongue
In a bustling city and impetuous life, it would be great if I could find a small restaurant on a street corner, sit down leisurely, and have a delicious meal! Sometimes, good food is indeed a cure.
A delicious food is a heart-warming enjoyment, an indescribable delicacy that will make your taste buds enjoy the soothing taste. A delicious food, like a beautiful scenery, can resist all the sadness and confusion around the world.
Due to work or travel, I have been to Chengdu several times and eaten in high-end restaurants and fly restaurants. For Chengdu people, food is the most important part of life. Of course, only in this unreplicable region can unique food be achieved.
Who comes from mountains, rivers, lakes and seas, but is confined to day and night, kitchen and love! People from all over the world sit together, guard their own world, and live like this. Isn't it a pure attitude towards delicious food?
You said that beautiful food and love cannot be let down. The best delicacy in the world must be found in the most marketplaces. In the places you accidentally pass by, you can find the true taste of this food while walking through the streets.
One: Fisherman's fish, unique pebble hot pot
When traveling, I prefer to find local food in the streets to high-end restaurants. There are really too many hot pot restaurants in Chengdu, but the delicious food hidden in the alleys will definitely be discovered by following the crowd in line.
I have been to Chengdu many times and have eaten a lot of hot pot, but this is my first time trying pebble hot pot. The main reason is that there is a long line at the entrance of this store since noon, which makes me very curious. There is a lot of noise in the store and outside the store. This is really a rare sight.
There happened to be another empty seat in the middle. My partner and I were lucky and sat down without waiting for a long time. Fisherman's clothes and bamboo rattan chairs. The decoration style of the entire store is very simple, like the farmyard in the past, which is very intimate.
The shop assistants were also very enthusiastic. After looking around, my companion asked me what I wanted to eat. I looked at the menu and first ordered two cups of sparkling water to quench my thirst. They were their family's special drinks. The waiter also quickly brought the dish up.
It's not enough to have the main course alone. We also ordered several snacks, jelly and orange steamed buns. I prefer orange steamed buns. It looks cute and tastes delicious. The table design is also very unique. The outer ring can be rotated 360 degrees, snacks are placed on it, and the pot is placed in the middle. It is perfect.
I chose the classic red soup pot bottom. Between eating fish and eating frogs, my partner and I hesitated for a long time, but finally listened to me and chose frogs. The entire production process was almost done on the dining table. I looked satisfied and ate with peace of mind.
Pour the freshly killed frog onto the goose soft stone at a very high temperature, then add peppers, ginger, etc., and then pour into the whole pot of hot boiling oil bottom. Suddenly, smoke began to smoke, and the waiters shouted in unison: The stone comes to work! It turns out that this also has this meaning.
After a few minutes, the bullfrog in red soup can move chopsticks. In this way, the tenderness of the ingredients is greatly preserved. There is no continuous heating process. The frog meat is spicy and tender, so delicious that I can't stop chopsticks.
2: Chengdu eats customers, and local characteristics are all captured
You can't come to Chengdu without eating Sichuan cuisine, but you don't want to go to an old-school Sichuan restaurant. It doesn't feel like it's in line with the style of young people. Then you must not miss this new-style Internet celebrity Sichuan restaurant. Speaking of customers in Chengdu, we are really old friends. When I came here two years ago, I went to the old store in Kuixing Building and I have never forgotten it. This time, I actually saw a newly opened branch on Zhimin Road. Even if I lined up, I couldn't miss it.
The new store is on the second floor, which is much larger than the old store. The decoration also took a lot of thought. When we went there, there was no room left, so after waiting for a while, the clerk was very considerate and brought us tea and water, so that the waiting time became no longer long.
After sitting down, I couldn't wait to order. This was my second time eating it, and it was my first time for my partner, so what I ordered were the signature dishes of the store. The plate of boiled beef with mandarin ducks is a Eight Trigrams plate. It has two different colors and flavors, which is very unique. The clerk will also pour hot oil in person, which is very interesting.
Grilled fish slices with green pepper are tender and tender, without any fishy smell. Green pepper and lemon are mixed, and then sprinkled with sesame seeds. The color, aroma and aroma are complete. Each fish slice is strung with bamboo sticks, making it more convenient to eat. Highly recommended.
Tuotuo shrimp must be ordered because I love to eat shrimp. The shrimp is freshly peeled and will be poured with hot oil as a guest's face. This dish is a bit spicy and quite delicious. Generally speaking, it is more in line with the local taste.
The tableware of the Ungrateful Frog is quite unique. This dish is also a bit spicy, but I just love it. The frog meat is fresh and spicy. I can't stop eating while drinking water. My partner complains that this amount is a little too small for me, an expert frog eater. Haha!
You must order tremella pear soup, and osmanthus tomatoes are also great. Both are spicy and quite refreshing. With them, the dishes are basically swept away. The clerk asked how they tasted, and I said, I had eaten them all!
3: Jiyu, Thai hot pot that is popular all over the Internet
Come to Chengdu to eat Thai hot pot? That's right, I already knew about gathering fishing before I came to Chengdu. It's really a fire to open a house. Local friends said that there's never a time when I come here without queuing. It's packed at noon and at night.
There are certain waiting lists, especially during holidays, but after entering the store and seeing such a comfortable environment, my mood will not be affected by waiting lists. I like the overall green color of this store very much. There are three floors in total, and each floor is equipped with many shop assistants, which feels like a one-on-one service.
From the beginning of ordering, there is a young lady who serves the entire process. Her snacks are free and unlimited, and the soup base is also made on-site. The entire process can be seen, clean and hygienic, and the ingredients used will be introduced one by one.
We ordered the signature tom yum hot pot. Because I love Thai food very much, I have a say in tom yum. The soup here is very authentic. It is rich and delicious, with the sweet aroma of coconut juice. The flavors of aroma, spicy, fresh and sweet are intertwined, and the taste is wonderful.
Live shrimps are served in skewers, and the shrimps are still moving. After cooking, the waiter will help peel the shrimps. It is very convenient to eat and the dipping sauce tastes particularly delicious. If there are many people, recommend the set meal, which will be more cost-effective.
Grapefruit soda, this drink is 100 percent beautiful and tastes good. We ordered several drinks and finally I drank them all.
I like curry shrimp very much. In other words, as long as it is shrimp, I love whatever it is cooked. The curry shrimp from the fishing market brings my memories back to Thailand. It is delicious and has a high appearance, and the small shrimp eater is online again.
Internet celebrity coconut bowls and lava cake are so delicious. I even think I am not here in a hot pot restaurant, but a dessert shop. If Jiyu opens a dessert shop one day, I won't be surprised at all.
The vegetable platter and seafood platter are both very large portions. After eating it, my partner and I found that we were a little overwhelmed. The young lady's service was really beyond words. She helped cook the whole process and asked from time to time what she needed more. In the end, if she couldn't finish it, we could pack it and take it away.
4: On the roadside, the most spicy soup in Chengdu
Love for food is often from the heart. No matter where or when you are, after a wave of taste buds, you will still reminisce about the beauty of that snack, and the taste is just like this.
My companions said that the most authentic Chengdu delicacies must not be short of skewers, and the small restaurant that local people are keen on is still full of excitement even late at night. Malatang on the roadside is open late, which is very suitable for late night snacks.
It was already past eleven o'clock in the evening, and there were still many customers in the store. The decoration of this store was retro, nostalgic, and the murals all over the wall brought my thoughts back to the past. Because I couldn't eat spicy food very well, I specially ordered a slightly spicy pot.
There are still quite a lot of dishes. The skewers are taken from the buffet and weighed by the lot after eating them. I personally prefer waist slices and county liver. I and my companions ate a lot, and they also served them with some vegetables. The slightly spicy taste is just right.
Wu: Let's have a different braised skewers
Deqi is a very popular barbecue restaurant. This time, I went to a new store that had just opened. It felt different from ordinary barbecue shops. The decoration style was very similar to a bar. I couldn't help but sigh with my companions that nowadays, eating barbecue also needs to have a tune.
The environment of the new store is very good. We went there early and there were still seats available. We didn't sit down for a while and it was already full. Here, we have to praise the resourcefulness of our companions, but we finally don't have to wait for a wait. Because we had to drive, everyone didn't drink and ordered some drinks.
The waiter first served us a dipping plate, which corresponded to the label on the table paper at the bottom. It was still very interesting. The secret dry spicy plate was praised. There is also a small grill on each table to keep warm. We don't have to grill it ourselves. Everything is served cooked, so there is almost no smell of soot.
I ordered the drink and the Internet celebrity chicken feet. The chicken feet not only have online beauty, but also have the sweet and sour taste that I like, which is very chewy.
Their barbecue is stewed and roasted, which is different from traditional barbecue. It can lock in moisture and retain the delicacy of the meat. Whether it is mutton or beef, it tastes very good.
Prawns and steamed buns were also my favorite. Later, I ate them all and added a few strings of shrimp. It was undoubtedly true love. Because we came early and didn't drink, it was the busiest time in the store after eating. We won't drive next time. We will stay longer, have a glass of beer, and feel the flavor of the barbecue bar.
Lu: Oyster hero, eat oysters and seafood without limit
The oyster buffet that I had been thinking about for a long time was finally arranged in Chengdu. Oyster Hero was near Tai Koo Li, very close to where we lived, so I walked directly with my companions.
Each person is 100 yuan, and you can eat oysters as you please. It's really friendly for those of us who love oysters. There will be a lot of people at dinner in the evening, including seasoning buffet and oyster buffet. Eat whatever you want throughout the journey and take as much as you want.
Of course, as a cafeteria, in addition to raw oysters, there are also many other seafood, scallops, shrimps, palm treasures, vegetables, potato chips, and cold dishes, all of which are self-contained. The dishes are rich and the prices are reasonable.
I picked up a table full of dishes and was about to roast them myself. Unexpectedly, a kind waiter came and roasted shrimps and oysters for us. He also said that there was a pressure cooker to cook oysters, which were tender and nutritious than roasting. After saying that, I brought us a pot to peel for us to eat, and I was very moved.
That night, I ate dozens of raw oysters, both cooked and roasted. It was the first time I ate raw oysters until I was full. It felt great. Scallops and shrimp were also good. Even my companions were amazed at my appetite today.
Color: Unique local scenery
Chengdu is big and small, depending on how you approach it. Wuhou Temple, Jinli, Kuanzhai Alley, if you just pass by famous attractions in a hurry, you may think Chengdu is very small, but after going deep into the local area, you will find that Chengdu has too many beautiful places.
I remember when I first came to Chengdu, I took a green train and walked around Jinli and Wuhou Temple. On the way back, I went to Kuanzhai Alley for a meal. I was quite satisfied. I didn't know at that time that my destiny with this city is so subtle.
When you come to Chengdu again, you will no longer be satisfied with the regular attractions, such as Tai Koo Li, Eastern Suburb Memory, Pengzhen Guanyin Pavilion Teahouse, Yuanyang Tower, People's Park, the most fashionable and market-oriented places in the city, all worth visiting one by one.
Many years passed before we discovered that there were a thousand faces in Chengdu. What we are familiar with are only 20% of the ice surface. More unknown N-sides are hidden in its streets and alleys. Places we have never seen before.
Only by going deep into this city, approaching it, and feeling it with your heart can we meet those unknown beauties and be lucky enough to encounter more niche and unique places...
One: Contemporary Image Museum, autumn with milk tea color
Autumn is approaching in the blink of an eye. There is a niche place in Chengdu that can return you to the milky tea color of autumn. It is the Contemporary Image Museum. We drove there and there was a large parking lot in the square and parking was free.
There are different exhibitions here regularly. I mainly go to take photos and watch the solo exhibition. Because I went on an off-weekend afternoon, there were not many people and I didn't do my homework in advance. Tickets were also bought on site.
The image museum is only closed on Mondays, but if you want to take photos, it's better to avoid holidays. Tickets can be purchased on the spot, and tickets for double are cheaper than tickets for single, so going together is the best choice. You can bring a camera to take pictures in the museum, but large bags need to be stored.
Originally, I was going to go in and change my clothes, but the young lady at the ticket counter said that there was no room to change clothes inside, so after buying the ticket, I still had to change my clothes in advance before going in. Of course, if you just go to the exhibition, you won't have any trouble in this regard.
The image museum is not very big, and there are not many people on that day. You can completely avoid people and take pictures as you like. After walking in, you will find that the entire corridor and door are brown. Fortunately, I was prepared and the color of the student clothes matches this place.
Considering that I had to shoot people and scenes, I brought two shots, and my companions were very cooperative. I shot as I said, and the film output was satisfactory.
You don't need to consider people for local shots, and you don't need to wait, but you may need to wait for a while when you capture the environment. Just like the location of this door, everyone will take photos here, and there is also the corridor. The light and shadow are very beautiful.
The European-style architecture of the entire image museum is the highlight. The whole picture can be photographed in the square. Isn't it very spectacular? The walls are also covered with creeper, which is very contemporary. After filming outdoors, my partner and I went indoors to watch the exhibition.
What impressed me most was this exhibition. The black and white photography works of documentary photographer Sebastio Salgado are very shocking and eye-catching from composition to final presentation. In addition, works by Bernard Foukon, a representative of French composition and conceptual photography, and Henri Cartier-Bresson, the founder and practitioner of the "decisive moment" photography theory, are also displayed in the museum.
Tickets for the Image Museum are 60 for a single person and 90 for a double person. The museum is closed on Monday. It is recommended to match clothes with the same color, arrange the milk tea color quickly, and student clothes will look good, and even plain skirts will do.
2: High-tech Maoye Center, ins the same building
Can you get the same Hong Kong building in an office building in Chengdu? Yes, this is an ordinary office building, but it looks very similar to Ping Shek Estate in Hong Kong. If you are tired of visiting regular attractions, you might as well find a niche attraction with fewer people and free.
Chengdu High-tech Maoye Center is located in downtown Chengdu. If we drive there, we can park our car directly in the underground parking lot and then go upstairs in the elevator. Or take a taxi, which is not difficult to find.
Usually, there are many people working here. Because it is an office building, I suggest that everyone go there on weekends so that you can take aerial pictures. However, don't make a noise and remember to keep a low profile.
This building is white. If you want to take cool photos, I suggest everyone wear black clothes or solid colors. I paired it with a set of black and white clothes, and the effect is good.
There are two best shooting spots. One is the platform on the fifth floor. If you stand in the middle of the station, you will have a very layered picture and you can also take silhouette pictures. The other is that the 30th floor of the highest building will be very shocking.
Portraits can stand at the corner, and it is recommended to take them with a wide-angle lens. In addition, because there is no one working on the highest floor, portraits can be taken on it. The light is good. You can also take a top-down photo with your mobile phone, and then stretch it out and use a SLR to shoot., you will have the visual feeling of the above picture.
3: Louis Art Castle, pretending to be in Europe
Louis Art Castle is a very small place in Chengdu, and not many people know about it, but it was designed by Antoninibesu, chief designer of the Fontainebleau Palace Restoration Team in France. Every piece of stone was shipped from France to Chengdu, after 6 years of meticulous craftsmanship. There is no doubt that here, you can pretend to be in Europe without going abroad.
For my partner and I, because we had a car, we had a navigation system. Because this place mainly received banquets, we were worried at first whether the doorman would not allow a car to enter, but in fact, the outside can be open to the public and no tickets are charged. Only the internal banquet hall is not allowed.
After parking the car in the parking lot, a security guard would come up and inquire, and then inform them of the precautions for the visit. You can't enter the interior, you can't use a SLR to take photos, you can only use a mobile phone. This really drives a SLR dog like me crazy, but looking at the strict management, in the end, I didn't dare to take out the SLR, so all the photos were taken by my mobile phone, alas
The castle brings together the rococo design style that is prevalent in the 18th century, the neoclassical art school of the 19th century, and the pop art of the 20th century. They are intertwined and integrated, making it filled with romantic elements everywhere.
The corridor inside the banquet hall is very beautiful, but the doors are closed and security guards are patrolling, so we can only take a photo against the window. I heard that you can sneak in before, so I guess it depends on luck.
It didn't take long to stroll around the outside, because I couldn't take photos with a SLR, which was quite a pity. My partner and I quickly walked back to the parking lot. After calculating the time, half an hour was enough.
4: Global Center, Chengdu version of Santorini
I don't know when it started, but people began to madly pursue Santorini's blue and white towns. Maybe it is synonymous with romance and love. In recent years, many places in the country have mini versions of blue and white towns, but I didn't expect that there are also in Chengdu.
It was really easy to get lost when I went to the Chengdu Global Center for the first time. After all, it was very big. Behind the Ocean Park, the entire pedestrian street is full of blue-and-white style buildings. It is very exotic and very suitable for taking photos.
I happened to be wearing a white dress that day, which matched the color of this pedestrian street. In order to find this pedestrian street, my partner and I also strolled for a long time. Later, a warm-hearted aunt gave us directions and found it successfully.
The street is not long, and there are many young ladies taking photos. It seems that it has become very popular on the Internet recently. There are also many photography organizations who come here to take photos. As we walked, we took pictures when we saw the right ones. For some scenes, we still had to queue up.
If you can't find the location of this street, you can look in the direction of the lighthouse, because it is relatively the highest. Your companions also saw the lighthouse and found it along the road. After taking photos, you can also eat and drink, and you can basically play for a whole day.
Wu: GU Cat Coffee, Cute Cat Concentration Camp
For cat slaves, the happiest thing is just to enjoy delicious food while sucking cats. Anyone who has had experience in raising a cat knows that the company of a cat is probably the warmest existence in the world. It seems that it has a special magic that makes the owner unable to understand whether it was I who raised a cat or whether it was she who granted it. I entered her life.
GU Cat Coffee is a pet cafe with a spacious and bright environment. It is very clean. There is basically no cat hair or smell. There is no magnificent facade or dazzling drinks. There are only enthusiastic cat owners.
Of course, sometimes the cat owner is not very cooperative. Just like the one who took a photo with me, I feel that I owe it a lot of cat food. It has a reluctant look on its face. I just don't want to look at the camera, but I can't help it.
In this sun room, there are disposable hand sanitizers, shoe covers and rollers for sticking hair. There are really many cats, including puppets, blue cats, British Shorts and other breeds, as well as two Corgi dogs.
After ordering two drinks with his partner, he couldn't wait to suck the cat. In the afternoon, many cats were sleeping, looking lazy. These little cute people were very quiet and clean, and they were not afraid of people at all.
Although it is a coffee shop, it is simply a kingdom of cats. Customers play with the cats to their heart's content here and want to give them all the good things.
The masters were also very cooperative, and those little eyes were heart-warming. There is no time limit in this store. You can sit down all afternoon after ordering a drink. Dozens of cats can rub it all. The experience is great. Do you have it?
Lu: Panda Paradise, please pay attention to the presence of national treasures
During this trip to Chengdu, we lived at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain for two days, which was quite close to the Panda Park. Our companions had never seen pandas, so we took half a day to check in.
The last time I came to see pandas was in Wolong. In contrast, this panda park has fewer tourists and can see panda babies up close, so it is still recommended. When I came here, it had just rained, the air at the foot of the mountain was fresh, and most of the babies were playing in the trees.
The environment in the park is clean and tidy, the experience is very good, and the number of giant pandas is quite large. We saw a total of seven or eight giant pandas and walked along the tour route for about an hour.
It is said that there is the only "panda nursing home" in the world. It is the only and most authoritative professional institution for giant panda rescue and disease prevention and control research in China. It is also the world's largest international and domestic scientific research cooperation platform for giant pandas.
We were lucky to see little raccoons, which were cute and super cute, and they even competed for food with their companions. Although the overall area here is not large, it is quiet and there are few people. It is very satisfying to watch the baby pandas play.
In order to shoot pandas, we also brought a telephoto lens. It was really hard to shoot. Ordinary lenses couldn't get close. Their innocent appearance was really hilarious and even stuck out our tongues.
Accommodation: From Tai Koo Li to Qingcheng Mountain
Tai Koo Li:Jianguo Puyin
If you are traveling to Chengdu and want to find a cost-effective hotel in the downtown area, then Jianguo Puyin must be the first choice. Located near Tai Koo Li, the hotel is a boutique hotel built with the concept of "urban seclusion space".
Pu Yin is derived from the theme of "Small hidden in the wild, big hidden in the city" and "hidden" is used as the theme of the hotel. It is to create a comfortable leisure space for guests. I have felt this from the moment I walked into the hotel.
The lobby not only has a spacious seating area, but also a tea area where you can sit down and enjoy a good cup of tea. The wooden tables and chairs, and the friendly service make you feel as warm as home before you check in.
The hotel also has a thoughtful laundry room, which provides free self-service laundry 24 hours a day to solve the trouble of changing clothes for business travelers. It provides laundry detergent, disinfectant, and softener. It is quite thoughtful.
The restaurant on the second floor is large and has unique design. It uses high-tech and pollution-free environmentally friendly building materials as a whole. I feel quite happy to eat here every day
In terms of dishes, there are Chinese and Western dishes, which can satisfy different people's preferences. The chef also makes hot noodles freshly made every day, and the waiter is also very enthusiastic, so that he doesn't want to leave after staying there.
The interior of the guest room is elegant and warm. I think there must be such a place that is closely related to the endless daily life, but that contains all kinds of details that you don't care much about in ordinary life.
Puyin's details are perfect, and there are as many bedtime snacks as milk every day.
The warm wooden room, carefully arranged tea sets, and simple and bright bathroom gave me a night full of sweet dreams.
Qingcheng Mountain: The Honour of Qingcheng Mountain
After coming to Chengdu so many times, I have never been to Qingcheng Mountain. This time, I have a car with my partner, and I can finally stay at the foot of the mountain for two days. After choosing for a long time, I booked the Qingcheng Mountain Zun Hotel. A hotel that had just been opened for more than a year, it is located at the foot of the lush and lush Qingcheng Mountain. It is about an hour's drive from Chengdu
The hotel has its own parking lot and will have a shuttle bus to pick up and drop off, which is very considerate. Walking into the hotel, you will find the courtyard-style gardens refreshing and relaxing. Six unique architectural complexes can be vaguely seen in the mountain fog. There are few people and the environment is good. It is great to enjoy leisurely and leisurely outside the hustle and bustle.
The hotel's lobby is very elegant, either with high mountains and flowing water, or a place surrounded by clouds and clouds, or hidden by green plants, or long rocks and rocks, empathizing with the scenery, concentrating on the shape, and implying the elephant.
Check-in was quite quick. When my companions were sitting in the lobby waiting, they saw the Waterfront Lobby Bar from top to bottom. It was very elegant and elegant. They suggested going down and sitting, so they asked the waiter to deliver the luggage to the room first.
The sunken waterstand lobby bar is located on the first floor of the hotel. The tall space, the wooden lines with depth, the simple blue bricks, and the stone with ink marks, it seems that you can feel the oriental charm of another time and space through the mist of time.
At this time, there are not many people in the lobby bar. Find a random place to sit down. There are drinks and tea available. There are many books placed on the bookshelves. Looking through them casually, they will find that they find their favorite words.
This place seems to be a place for tired souls. It is a paradise where people really want to return to their gardens and fields. Everyone who "escaped" from the city can stay here for a short time, let their thoughts fly, and make peace of mind.
Make a cup of tea, read a book, the breeze comes slowly, close my eyes and meditate, let my thoughts go back to the past, forget all the hustle and bustle, and return to the starting point of my soul. The life that I yearn for in my heart is probably nothing more than this.
The hotel's Yunjian All-Day Restaurant has an elegant design and a wood-colored architectural style brings a tranquil environment. The restaurant provides an American buffet breakfast, special breakfast sets, and also Western exquisite cuisine. While traveling, you can also enjoy the delicious taste on the tip of your tongue.
Rather than calling it a hotel, it is more like a private garden. Inadvertent corners will bring surprises to people. Coincidentally, I brought a set of cheongsam, which was very suitable for taking photos. I thought that if I brought Chinese clothes, it would look very good too!
Walking leisurely in the hotel garden, with the murmur of birds and the sound of streams, travel becomes a transcendental cultivation. And I just want to enjoy the most rare purity and comfort in the simplest way.
The room I stayed in was in Lingfeng Residence and I really liked this poetic name. The hotel advocates the concept of natural and healthy living. All environmentally friendly materials are used in the rooms. Jin Keer's bedding, a 49-inch LCD TV, a wet and dry zone shower room, and an oversized viewing balcony, allowing you to enjoy the garden view.
Tea sets and tea were also prepared in the room, the bathroom was equipped with a bathtub, and the bathrobe was quite soft and the experience was great. I couldn't wait to take a bath that night
In addition, the hotel's spare parts are Ferragamo's Tuscan sunshine, which is high-end. New and old, present and ancient, modern and classics, time and space all overlap highly concisely. Everything here is related to emotion, temperature and memory.
