Chengdu: One of China's top ten ancient capitals, the long food culture has given this city its unique charm and soul. Even walking on the street, you can smell the aroma of hot pot, malatang, hot pot, barbecue, and string strings from time to time... There are all Sichuan cuisine you can think of here. For an authentic "foodie" who likes to eat Sichuan cuisine, it is like entering a "food paradise" and full of happiness.

In ancient times, Chengdu was praised by the world as the "Land of Abundance". Today, Chengdu is full of high-rise buildings and first-line brands. It has become an international fashion metropolis. Walking on the bustling streets, you can always see faces of different skin colors. There are beautiful natural scenery, rich cultural heritage, tempting Sichuan cuisine, and the national treasure giant panda that is favored by thousands of people... There is always a reason for you to like it.

Because this trip time is abundant, the entire itinerary is not particularly tight. I just want to eat slowly and play slowly, and eat until I have fun and have fun.

Food check-in: Jiyu Thai Seafood Hotpot (Tai Koo Li Store)

At the bottom of the pot, you order the characteristic signature fresh ingredients of the tom yum pot. Now open a coconut, pour in the whole fresh coconut juice and soup base, and add a fresh ingredient bag mixed with a variety of fresh ingredients. After boiling, the bottom of the pot has a strong aroma, delicate taste and rich layers. In addition to classic Thai style and signature lemon mint, the dipping ingredients have also introduced more suitable flavors based on local preferences, such as: secret Sichuan-scented millet spicy, Sichuan-scented dry dish spicy.

All the seafood, spices and other ingredients used in the store come from Thailand by air on the same day. Shrimp slips, fish slips, lunch meat, etc. are also handmade in real time. They taste fresh, fragrant, tender, and unique. The favorite fresh ingredients are all Live, and taste super fresh after being cooked in the pot.

There is an unlimited gift area in the store, such as ordering set meals according to the number of people dining, and unlimited desserts, snacks, staple foods, etc. can be provided for free. Recommend several high-value delicious desserts and staple foods that I like very much: fried cake, Internet celebrity coconut bowl, mango glutinous rice, rabbit pudding.

In addition, the waiter in the store is extremely considerate. She will help shell the shrimps and turn on the lights for you when taking photos. I really can't love this store any more.

Food check-in: Oyster Hero·Self-service Roast Oyster Shop

Oyster Hero·Self-service Roast Oyster Shop

Address: Second Floor, No. 25 - 23, Section 4, Hongxing Road, Chengdu

Transportation: 500 meters walk from Exit E2 of Chunxi Road Station, Metro Line 2/3

All the seafood here is unshelled and cleaned at the Mingfang site, wrapped in layers of ice, so you don't have to worry about the freshness. Before roasting, you can take a pot of steamed cooked oysters, pry open the outer shell, dip them in the sauce, and start eating while eating. The fresh oysters are large, thick and thick, and are covered with a layer of secret garlic juice. After roasting, the meat is tender and the flavor is outstanding.

The store style is fresh, concise, and artistic. The green soft leather seats are comfortable to sit on. The waiters are very diligent and will help with barbecues and guide baking methods.

Warm tip: Except for drinks, all ingredients are supplied in unlimited quantities. In order to ensure the freshness of the ingredients, it is recommended not to take too much at a time.

Accommodation: Chengdu Simshan Hotel

The hotel is courtyard-style. I first noticed this hotel because of his slogan "There is an elegant courtyard in the city and a ginkgo in the courtyard”。

Living here is very good for going out and doing, the hotel is convenient for taxis, and it is also close to the subway and bus stations.Tianfu squareandpeople's ParkJust a few minutes walk; distancekuanzhai alleyIt is only 1.3 kilometers, only a 20-minute walk; distancewenshu monastery2.5 kilometers; distancechunxi road1.6 kilometers; distancewuhou templeandjinli1.5 Kilometers.

Address: No. 130 Shaanxi Street, Qingyang District

Transportation: Metro Line 1: Tianfu Square Station Exit C/Metro Line 2: Renmin Park Station Exit B

The hotel's specialty is that there are two century-old ginkgo trees in the courtyard, but it's not yet in season. When I heard from the housekeeper that the trees would not be full of yellow leaves until the end of November, this was probably the case.

If I have the opportunity next time, I will definitely stay in the appropriate season!

But our stay was also very good. The room was clean and the service attitude was super good. Below are the photos I took at the hotel, which everyone can learn from.

Du Fu's Cottage is praised by the world as "a holy place in the history of Chinese literature." It was the residence of Du Fu, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, after he entered Shu to avoid the Anshi Rebellion. He lived there for four years and wrote more than 240 poems.

With hunger and cold, he had the ambition to help the world, closely connected his suffering with the sufferings of the people and the security of the country, and sublimated it into a noble feeling of caring for the country and loving the people and an inexhaustible source of poetry creation.

The thatched hut, red walls, green tiles, green bamboos, epic hall... It is quiet and elegant, exuding the mysterious atmosphere of ancient literati. Walking around and rereading the poems from the Chinese textbooks when I was at school in the Epic Hall, a sense of intimacy arises spontaneously, and the memory seems to be reactivated.

I have long known that this family is very popular. In order to avoid too many people queuing up, I arrived at the store early with my friends at 4 p.m.. The store design style is more nostalgic, with blue lacquer wooden tables and chairs, gray cement walls, red slogans, small shops, old-fashioned street lights and light bulbs... In the bustling and lively space, three or five friends gathered around the small square table and chatted while enjoying hot human food. The fiery bottom of the pot rolled, and the fragrance was overflowing... The scene in front of me seems to have traveled through the slow time of childhood that is very cordial, happy and beautiful.

A large number of strings are placed in the refrigerated cabinet in the ingredients area, neatly and orderly. There are a wide variety of meats and vegetables such as seafood, meatballs, meat, and vegetables, which can be selected according to your taste and preferences.(After eating, you will be weighed and settled according to weight).

The "Qianshan" route, which takes relatively little time, was deliberately selected.

Walking through the misty mountains,

The light is even dimmer on rainy days,

Step by step up the slippery, narrow stone steps,

It has the artistic conception of "winding path leading to the secluded world",

After arriving at the highest altitude of Laojun Pavilion (1260 meters),
