I went to Chengdu the week before last. At the same time, I took a break from my busy work and took two days to have a good time in Chengdu.
When it comes to tourism in Chengdu, everyone will definitely think of Kuanzhai Alley, Jinli, and Wuhou Temple first. If time is limited, these places will definitely not be recommended as a priority. It is not that these places are not worth visiting, but because there are too many tourists, the experience will be worse.
In fact, in addition to popular attractions, Chengdu also has many good places that are not so well known to everyone! Today, we will radiate around with the new local landmark Chengdu IFS as the center to give everyone some delicious and fun places to Amway, and discover a different Chengdu in 48 hours!
DAY.1
?? 14:00 PM -Chengdu IFS
When it comes to traveling to Chengdu, Chengdu IFS is definitely indispensable. Its most prominent symbol is this giant panda climbing stairs, a veritable online celebrity check-in point!
Chengdu IFS is a new landmark for entertainment in Chengdu! It shows the most fashionable and fashionable side of Chengdu, and gathers the most fashionable young people in the country to check in!
I don't have time to go to the giant panda breeding base in two days, so why not just spend it here! Take the elevator from the first floor of IFS in Chengdu to the seventh floor and you can see the cute face of the giant panda. This giant panda art installation is 1.5 meters tall and weighs 13 tons. It was created by internationally renowned artist LAWRENCE ARGENT and is named "I AM HERE", but people are still used to calling it "Wall-Climbing Panda", haha.
Because pandas are so popular, they need to queue up to take a photo. Tell everyone the best seat, which is the outdoor table at the Pizza Marchano restaurant next door. You can not only enjoy delicious food, but also take intimate photos with pandas. ps: Remember to choose the middle position, the excellent c position!
Unfortunately, the two days I came here were heavy rain. I'm sorry I missed it, but I still took a photo with the panda far away.
In addition to watching pandas on the 7th floor, the sculpture courtyard is also worth visiting. Sculptures by 10 well-known domestic and foreign artists are displayed here, each of which is full of characteristics and artistic atmosphere.
This time, I caught up in the sky market in the sculpture courtyard. There were creative handicrafts, snacks and snacks, and co-branded hot pot base materials on site. I immediately bought two bags and took them home. In addition to watching pandas on the 7th floor, the sculpture courtyard is also worth visiting. Sculptures by 10 well-known domestic and foreign artists are displayed here, each of which is very distinctive and full of artistic atmosphere.
This time, we caught up with the "Autumn Tianxin City" night-themed market in the sculpture courtyard. There were not only creative handicrafts, snacks, camping tents, but also co-branded hot pot ingredients. I immediately bought two bags and took them home.
The lovely food bus in the courtyard is also very suitable for taking photos.
There are many camping tents scattered on the grass, attracting many parents to play here with their children. Taking photos here is full of holiday style.
Stay at night and enjoy early autumn in a customized camping tent for more fun!
The whole of Chengdu IFS feels like a treasure mall, where you can handle eating, drinking and fun, especially with the huge selection of restaurants!
Girls who like to take photos must not miss this Flower Chef restaurant. The restaurant is decorated with flowers. It has a Morocco style. Every photo is a fairy.
Fresh colors and unique decoration style make it look good no matter how you shoot with your mobile phone!
If you want to eat hot pot, you can try this hot pot. The face value is also very high. Different from the old hot pot restaurant, this one is full of trendy style and full of aura. If you are a tourist, remember to go to the mall's service desk and get an ONE-DAY PASS, which contains a 200-100 coupon for this restaurant, which will be explained later...
This store must order duck intestines, tripe, and yellow throat!!
After eating, you can go shopping at the mall. If you like luxury goods, you can carefully search for the good goods. The mall brings together many luxury stores around the world, and many brands are the largest flagship stores in the southwest, such as Louis Vuitton, Dior Dior Homme, etc. Girls can also visit GUCCI beauty, China's first store.
This time, I also stopped by to visit a few brands I usually like. The goods were still very complete. I just happened to have my yardage and made a decisive move. I was happy.
Finally, I will give you Amway a tourist benefit. If you come to Chengdu IFS, remember to receive it. By December 31 of this year, you can receive the ONE-DAY PASS with travel tickets/orders with a 7-day destination in Chengdu, which includes popular dining and food discounts (such as Mashanuo restaurant with the best spot for shooting pandas, 200-100 coupons for Bangzhong Hot Pot) There are also exclusive discounts for various brands, free direct bus tickets to popular scenic spots, and discount coupons for Didi Taxi.
?? 18:00 PM -Xiangxiang Lane
Because I swiped a photo of Hong Kong wind, I became obsessed with this alley!
Xiangxiang Lane has become particularly popular on the Internet recently. When I arrived, I discovered that the entire alley is not long, only 100 meters and only two or three meters wide. It felt plain and ordinary when I came here during the day, but it was only when the sky darkened in the evening that I realized that it looked different. The scattered Hong Kong neon lights are lit up one after another, as if you are in a Hong Kong neighborhood. Many call this the "Hong Kong Small Night Market."
Does it feel like a Hong Kong night market?
Although the alley is not big, it also gathers many restaurants, such as Sichuan cuisine, hot pot, barbecue, Western food, Thai style, bars, etc., especially at night, it is crowded with people and is immediately filled with fireworks.
If you come over, you might as well find a favorite restaurant for dinner.
By the way, this egg-baked cake on the street is also very popular. I specially tried the signature durian flavor. I recommend it.
?? 20:00 PM -Check-in
When traveling before, five-star hotels were generally the first choice. But this time I shared the room with my colleagues and wanted the room to be more spacious, so I booked this all-suite Xijingge apartment. After checking in, I found that it completely exceeded my expectations and couldn't help but recommend it! The biggest advantage compared with the hotels I usually stay in is that the price is cheap but it is extra spacious. The room is large and starts at 77 square meters, and luggage can be thrown away at will in the spacious living room.
The room feels like home, with a washing machine, refrigerator, microwave, etc. Traveling washing machines are so important in summer! I have stayed in some hotel apartments before, but the biggest shortcoming is the poor service and hygiene. But the service and hygiene are not bad, maintaining the standard of a five-star hotel.
The transportation location of the apartment is also good. It is within a kilometer of walking to IFS, Lan Kwai Fong, etc., and Tangpa Street is at the main entrance of the door. There are many Internet celebrity restaurants near the apartment that are within walking distance, such as Niu Babo Chuanchuan, Mingting Restaurant, Sichuan Zhizhi Restaurant, etc.
DAY.2
?? 10:00 AM -Geometry Bookstore
There are several major Internet celebrity bookstores in Chengdu, including Fangsuo, Yanji and this geometry bookstore. Over the years, various major cities and cities have launched various high-value bookstores. I am more or less accustomed to it, but when I visited this geometry bookstore, I was still attracted.
Because of its distinctive interior decoration, it was Chengdu's first cave bookstore and immediately became Chengdu's new online celebrity tourist check-in place.
The concept of Geometry Bookstore originated in Xining, Qinghai Province, and is divided into heavy reading, snowy pure land, sky city, time library, space gate and life resumption. However, the Geometry Bookstore also has different styles in different cities. This time, I went to Mengzhuiwan Store, which is not far from Chunxi Road. The most attractive feature of it is a spiral staircase inside, which has a full three floors. It is also known as the "Nine-story Demon Tower".
I couldn't help but take a few photos in a cliché manner:
Chengdu Mengzhuiwan Store also combines some Chengdu characteristics. For example, in addition to continuing the arched cave design characteristic of Geometrical Bookstore, it also incorporates some local Chengdu elements, such as Baba Tea Eight Immortals Table, Taishi Chair, and Bench, which is quite interesting.
There is also a cafe on the third floor. If you have time, you can buy a book and spend the morning reading and drinking.
?? 12:00 PM -Taolin Restaurant
There are really countless delicious restaurants in Chengdu, especially hot pot skewers, where there is a long queue for each restaurant. At a time when Chengdu hot pot strings are in the ascendant, this Taolin Sichuan restaurant has made a breakthrough and become an Internet celebrity shop. When we went there, it was time to eat, and the door was already full of people. We thought we could no longer eat, but the waiter just asked if they would like to sit at the door! I rushed forward immediately, which also gave me the opportunity to eat this popular Sichuan cuisine online as I wished.
As soon as the meal time arrives, the door is already full of people, so I suggest everyone come early!
After looking at the restaurant, many of the diners were Chengdu locals and spoke Chengdu dialect, and immediately felt that I had made the right choice.
I ordered several signs such as ancient town intangible cultural heritage white meat, black tofu, spicy chicken, and gluttonous vegetarian dish king, all of which suits my taste! I can completely accept even if I don't eat spicy food. Recommended!
?? 14:00 PM -Tang Ba Street
Tang (tng) Palladium (p) Street, I guess many people don't know how to read it at first sight, right?
I checked the guide online and found that this street has a lot of background. Time Out, the authoritative British travel guide magazine, selected the "50 coolest urban neighborhoods in the world". There are four urban neighborhoods in China on the list, and Chengdu Tangba District is one of them.
The name Zipa also has some origins. In the early years of Guangxu, it was used as a warehouse for storing weapons in Daci Temple (Zipa itself is a weapon), so it was called "Zipa Street". After the renovation, it slowly turned into a living area. Later, more and more young people joined in, making it a cultural district.
The Kuba District is very close to all popular destinations, such as Chengdu IFS is one street away, which is less than 10 minutes 'walk. Lan Kwai Fong, Jiuyan Bridge, and Sansheng Street are also nearby. Compared with the lively places, the Chiba District looks much more literary and leisurely...
It is a great place to have brunch or have afternoon tea with friends. There are dessert shops, coffee shops, Western restaurants around... Each room has a high value and is full of youthful vitality. If you go, I would recommend several restaurants to everyone, but none of them will be bothered by them: MONDOLI, Cafe Sunset·Sansheng Canteen, Before Start Qichu Coffee, Fenglan Haoli, and Wu Breakfast Snack.
There is also a Xuankehui style bookstore on the roadside to visit. It is Chengdu's first 24-hour bookstore.
The most eye-catching thing on the street is this Leimen hot pot, which integrates coffee, hot pot, bar and gallery. The brick-red geometric design is particularly suitable for taking photos. I walked around the side for a long time and couldn't believe this was actually a hot pot restaurant!?
When you come to Jiuba Street, there are actually many places you must know, that is Chongdeli. Chongdeli, the former nameless alley, has now been transformed into a place for drinking tea, dining and accommodation. Chongdeli is the representative work of Jiuba Street.
When I went that day, I also met a group of young people setting up a retro market selling various interesting gadgets.
I also recommend this Home Space Coffee Shop in Chongde Li. It has an inconspicuous small door and is really full of surprises after entering. There is an area in the center that displays retro homes, and shop assistants will also show them around by making reservations in advance.
?? 18:00 PM -Jianshe Road Food Street
Before I came to Chengdu, my friends had always given me Amway, an Internet celebrity food street. It is said that it is still a memory of a generation of young people's reading days. At that time, due to the existence of the Shahe Campus of the University of Electronic Science and Technology, this snack street became larger and larger, and now it can be regarded as the second canteen of the University of Electronic Science and Technology. In addition to students, more and more foreigners gradually choose to come here to check in.
As soon as I got out of the taxi, I immediately smelled of fragrance. A variety of snacks are distributed on the cross-shaped streets, and the food matrix is opened all the way. I remember watching an issue of "Daily Up" before, which focused on introducing Jianshe Road delicacies.
There were so many snacks that I chose to be sleepy. I asked a friend which one was worth eating, and he told me to choose which one had a large queue! For example, Fu Ji's pork ribs, Gao Jie roasted brain flowers on tin foil, Ye Po pot chicken, Xu Liang's roasted pig's feet, Zhou Chuanqian crispy potatoes, and small crispy pork are all in large queues all year round. And the prices are not expensive, ranging from a few yuan to a dozen yuan. You can eat it for 100 yuan here!
Looking at the color, I couldn't stop drooling!
After you are full and drink, you can serve a bowl of special ice powder for a perfect ending!
?? 22:00 PM -Lan Kwai Fong, Jiuyanqiao Bar Street
Only when I came to Chengdu did I discover that Chengdu's nightlife is so rich. I went to the Wuchazi Bridge at 1 a.m. the day before yesterday and found that there were still many people walking on the bridge. I couldn't help but sigh that people in Chengdu don't sleep at night?
As the home bar of nightlife, it has to be mentioned. According to surveys, Chengdu is the city with the second largest number of bars in the country. It is full of bars, second only to Shanghai, and slightly better than first-tier cities such as Beijing, Guangzhou and Shenzhen.
If you are bored at night, go to the bar and sit down. The most popular bar streets are Jiuyan Bridge and Lan Kwai Fong, which are only one kilometer away from Chunxi Road.
The street is not long but densely packed with bars. Customers have been coming to the store one after another since 8 o'clock. Every bar has a resident singer, so just choose one you like. What I like more is that there are mostly clear bars here, which is very suitable for people like me who don't like noise.
PostScript
In recent years, Chengdu has developed faster and faster. It is both leisurely and trendy. There is simply no way to list all the things worth playing. If you have limited time, you might as well refer to my Chengdu 48 Hours Amway and play with me like this. Maybe you can discover a different Chengdu. If you have more ways to play, please leave a message ~
