preface

When the crystal beads of sweat begin to perch on their foreheads uncontrollably, when the afternoon always makes people feel sleepy, when the wind at night begins to warm and no longer so cool, midsummer is reporting solidly.

Chengdu in July is really like summer, but I don't know when it started, but Chengdu has also ushered in frequent rainy seasons. It turns out that in addition to the spicy heat, Chengdu also has tender moments.

The air was soaked by rain, quietly taking away the sultry heat in summer. However, for a comfortable city like Chengdu, rain can take away everything, but not the unique fireworks here.

In Chengdu, it seems that no one will be stingy with their love here. They linger around the fragrance of Chengdu's flowers and plants and are obsessed with the taste of Chengdu's food. Now, I'm afraid they also like the continuous drizzle in Chengdu.

Flying flowers are as light as dreams, and endless silk rain is as thin as sorrow. For the ancients, appreciating the rain was also quite romantic. So, why not encounter a cultural journey belonging to Chengdu in this rare rainy season.

The bustling spring dream courtyard is deep, and you can stroll around the quiet alleys

Many people come to Chengdu to take a walk in the narrow alleys. Everyone says that Chengdu is a leisurely city where you can enjoy your food in the narrow alleys and soak in the teahouses.

It's right to be leisurely, but Chengdu's quiet alleys are not just wide.

Shishi Lane, a 5-minute walk from Kuanzi Lane, is still a good place full of Chengdu temperament. Walking in the alley, the air is humid and I feel happy. The breeze of ten miles is more popular than the sea of flowers.

The old house with green and gray bricks exudes a humid atmosphere in the rain. The sound of various music floated from the small shop, the laughter of passers-by, the clanging sound of bicycles, and the hawking sound of hawkers, pieced together a simple and soft market atmosphere.

Although everything in the alley is simple and ordinary, it makes people linger and forget to return to it. They can't help but want to seriously remember those flavors, sounds, smells, and self-contained joy, permeating time like raindrops., and slowly integrating into history.

Maybe at this time you will not be able to speak for words, and you will not want to talk about those beautiful things. Maybe you can only understand if you are there. These words are unspeakable and unclear, and the words or words are gorgeous. Soft tone.

I think that every alley has its own story, and every story has something touching. I like to feel the every bit of sentiment in such alleys, just like loving walking on tiptoes on the road of literature and art, even if it rains, I just want to get to know and fall in love with such alleys slowly.

Piccolo, an independent cafe in an unnamed alley

Find a corner of the downtown area, quietly have a cup of coffee, and watch people come and go. You will feel inexplicably moved: If you are used to a city, you will fall in love with everything in this city. People who like to drink coffee should all love life.

Coffee: The barista here is a beautiful little sister, and the coffee is also beautiful. I ordered my signature coffee and Australian white?, They all taste great, but when comparing the two, I feel that the store's signature piccolo tastes better. I highly recommend it!

The service in the store is very considerate. When guests order coffee, the young lady will also carefully inquire about their personal preferences. She can choose beans according to the taste she likes. If you don't know how to choose, the young lady will also recommend them to everyone.

The desserts in the store are also very good, such as Tiramisu, which is very popular, but unfortunately they were sold out that day. We chose the next best resort and chose handmade cookies.

Environment: Simple industrial style, simple and crisp color matching, every detail reveals careful thoughts, like the blackboard area and the old barn door, giving it the feeling of visiting a museum

Transportation: Dongsheng Street, 300 meters walk from Exit D1 of Metro Line 2 (no parking space? Please be careful when driving there)

A peaceful corner, an immortal place where you can find peace in the chaos--the Wren
If you are visiting Chengdu for the first time and if you also like the old culture of Kuanzi Alley, then you must go to this hotel and have a serious experience-the Wren Humanities Boutique Hotel. The name of the hotel comes from Zhuangzi Xiaoyao Tour: "The wren nests in the deep forest, but only one branch." It is located in the busy city, but lives in a corner. You can still enjoy a moment of tranquility and comfort hidden in the world.

There are many cultural hotels with historical stories hidden, but there are not many as thoughtful as wrens. The knowledge here starts from the moment you enter the door. Every detail has its own story, which makes people admire the designer and also admire the unique vision of the hotel owner. What kind of a literary and artistic youth such a tasteful boss is? I was instantly really curious.

The wren gate of red bean wood has not undergone any restoration. Zhuangzi pays attention to the law, heaven, and truth, and each person lets its own nature, so everything here retains its original appearance. The figures on the door, the exquisite hollow carvings, and the copper doorrings all have the beautiful meaning of wishing the guests good luck and happiness.

Entering the gate, what comes into view is a carp made of gray on the left and right, with the image of leaping. On both sides in front are walls made of blue tiles, coupled with golden lights, a picture The scene of "carp leaping over the dragon gate" appears on the paper.

Walking through the treasure bottle door to usher in "good weather". This corridor is my favorite place for wrens, especially on rainy days like this, leaning against the "beauty" and watching the stream shining in the microwave, sometimes raindrops slide along the eaves, holding a cup of green tea in my hand, and flowers and birds are wandering around. I am also wandering in this scene. Who says it is difficult to be a truly idle Chengdu person? The wrens at this time can let you spend some time luxuriously in the rain.

The plaque at the end of the corridor "Ride things to swim the heart" comes from Zhuangzi's "transcending the world, wanting to ride things to swim the heart." Zhuangzi emphasizes transcendence from the secular world, abandoning material desires for fame and wealth to nourish the body and mind, and being calm to rest. In the wren, it is really possible to have a rare time to enjoy happiness.

I like the breeze-style room with tung wood walls and linen curtains. I like the oversized vanity and exquisite bathrobes. The comfortable bedding makes me want to sleep in a bed for the whole day.

The overall color of wood makes our time in the room extremely relaxed. We like to lean on the couch and quietly read a book, and sometimes look at the scenery outside the window.

I am used to seeing the oil paintings and murals of major hotels. When I arrived at the Wren, the rooms are carefully decorated with hand-made Sichuan embroidery and charcoal paintings on site. I have to say that this once again makes people feel how attentive this learned hotel is.

It's been a long time since I've enjoyed breakfast so leisurely. Treat yourself to the Wren today.

Since you can't go anywhere on rainy days, just hide from the rain and read in the house. As long as you push open the patio door, you can immediately integrate with the hustle and bustle of the wide and narrow alleys.

It is quite pleasant to enjoy uninterrupted afternoon tea in this unique courtyard.

On one hand, there is the tranquility and elegance of a wren, and on the other hand, there is the lively and bustling street. Drinking a cup of tea and listening to a song here makes you feel at ease and contentment, which makes people feel a little envious, full of appreciation and longing.

This is the wren in Chengdu. It is full of profound humanistic spirit, so thick that it can emit fireworks, intoxicate and intoxicate people. If time can stay for a while longer, I hope that there will be a moment when I turn into a wren and nest in the deep forest.

Gorgeous enjoyment on the tip of the tongue--petty bourgeoisie fireworks fan 'er 11th Street
People who have been to Chengdu will fall in love with the old taste of Chengdu and miss the prosperity and idleness in the alleys. People who have not yet come to Chengdu will yearn for his slow time, the width of the days, the distance of the years, and the irresistible dance of delicious food on the tip of the tongue.

Eleventh Street really has a Chengdu flavor. Any small store has a history of many years, and it is very low-key and does not hype it up, but its business has lasted for a long time.

Old Street Scale Pan Malatang: A very sentimental shop. The big scale pan is the container for holding vegetables. The store also tries hard to let everyone eat the sense of the past.

The decorations and furnishings in the store all reveal the flavor of old Chengdu. Although they are dilapidated, they cannot stop everyone's liking. First, they still have to raise their mobile phones to take a few photos here.

Choose your own dishes, the store cooks them uniformly, and distributes number plates in turn. Business is extremely good at meal time.

The dishes look very good when served. In addition to the base, they will also add the store's secret red oil and pepper, and sprinkle with some coriander and chopped green onion. It looks quite tempting.

A friend said that although it is not a stunning taste, it is a taste that makes people miss. Eating it will make people miss the past and think of their carefree childhood.

Eleventh Street Yaoji Noodles: As the capital of food, Chengdu's good taste is certainly not just spicy, delicious and fragrant. Although it is not a city dominated by pasta, Chengdu people also have a deep love for noodles. Sweet water surface, cold noodles, chicken soup noodles, beef noodles, fried sauce noodles... It also has an indispensable place on the Chengdu food list.

There is a Chengdu noodle restaurant on 11th Street, one of the top 50, which is Yaoji Noodles in this old street.

The beef with bamboo shoots and beef noodles is very large and stewed very soft and delicious; the dumplings in red oil are salty and fresh with a little sweet aftertaste; the crispy noodles and sweet water surface are also very welcome. If you want to eat Chengdu food that is not spicy, you must come to this restaurant.

Drink tea, chat and play mahjong in the old teahouse, and enjoy a natural coolness

In Chengdu, teahouses in summer are more lively than ever. Some play mahjong, some watch movies, some discuss elegance, and some just sit around and watch the scenery. Everyone can find their own place in different places. As a result, the teahouse became the most down-to-earth "Little Chengdu".

No matter how hot it is outside, the laughter in the teahouse, people chat and entertain, and when they are sleepy and tired, they can still call for a master to close their eyes and enjoy it.

Watching uncles playing mahjong, listening to the most primitive sounds of the streets, and drinking a bowl of tea, the taste of old Chengdu is really fascinating.

Old Chengdu loves to drink "Gaiwan Tea". The tea bowl for Gaiwan Tea is a three-piece set consisting of a tea cover, a tea bowl, and a tea boat. Legend has it that people used tea covers and tea bowls when drinking tea in the Tang Dynasty. The daughter of Cui Ning, the governor of Xichuan, felt that it was too hot to hold the tea bowl like this, so she personally designed a tea tray under the tea bowl for heat insulation. Later, it evolved several times and became a tea boat with both functions and aesthetics.

Time has changed, and many streets in old Chengdu have slowly disappeared from people's view. However, the appearance of the old street in memory and the 11th Street, which is still the same today, still deeply affects everyone who meets it.

Therefore, if you want to experience the memories of Chengdu, you must come to 11th Street for a walk, taste the good taste here, taste the tea here, visit the mahjong game here, and talk about the feelings and romance of old Chengdu.

This light and shadow is related to you--Exhibition at A4 Art Museum
How can we lose A4? However, many people say that watching an exhibition is a very profound thing. If you are not an artist, you cannot appreciate it. In fact, everyone has their own opinions on life. Watching exhibitions is just to find the beauty of life from different angles, like songs you like to listen to, dishes you like to eat, scenery you like to see, and people you like.

I remember reading a Weibo post before saying: Young people should go to art museums and museums more, not to be arty and talk about things, but to do things to a certain extent, the focus is no longer about origin, intelligence and diligence, but about vision and perspective.

Go to the exhibition, calm down, enjoy life, create inspiration, gain knowledge, explore and learn... Art should be part of the lifestyle. Don't think of it as a haven isolated from an anxious world, or a utopia that draws inspiration. There is no need to question its meaning, because art, like breathing, is as indispensable in life.

So when I am a little impatient in ordinary life, going to a solo exhibition must be a good pastime. The thinking of art is always different from that of the public, and artists are always independent, so no matter which one you meet, it should be an interesting day.

In fact, I have always hoped that a message board can be set up under every work in the exhibition, just like comments in a circle of friends or bullet screens in a series, talking to countless different brains, and different logics collide to create various sparks. This must be better than everyone It's more interesting for people to stare at the obscure labels of works and figure it out alone.

We all have expectations for a better life. We don't have to be afraid of art, maintain confidence and appreciation of ourselves, live every day seriously, be arrogant or impetuous, and never forget our original intention. This is the easiest way to get happy, calm and even happiness.

Midsummer Night's Dream, why not come and watch an open-air movie under the stars?
I don't know when I started looking up at the stars more and more. For me, the night is lonely, but fortunately I have the company of the stars. I once seemed to see such a sentence: When a girl looks up at the sky, she is not looking for anything, she may just be a little lonely. I think I may be really lonely. Having lived in the city for a long time, I gradually began to get tired of the noise of the whistle and busy work.

Ask yourself, how long has it been since you haven't listened to music quietly or watched a movie comfortably?

Open-air movies under the stars. At this moment, I fell in love with the night in Luhu without reservation.

I never knew that there was such a romantic island on the outskirts of Chengdu. The temper in summer is not very docile. Here, you will like to drink two drinks with friends and leisurely by the lake in this restful and enthusiastic season. Look at the scenery.

If you get here early, you can take a break at the nearby cafe. In the evening, the night here will definitely give you a huge surprise. The night is fading, and under the ink-blue sky, uneven light shines from the small forest, like a fairy tale world in a crystal ball. It is so beautiful that it is a little unreal.

The wooden cabin surrounded by lights also begins to shine at night. The small windmill on the roof rotates slowly in the soft evening breeze. Under the decoration of the night lights, it seems to feel like walking through a night market by the sea. It's probably like traveling in one second. That's the meaning.

When the night gets darker, the beach by the lake becomes more and more lively, with rhythmic music and a little dreamy light and shadow. The sky in Chengdu is always very thick with clouds. If you want to make up for the regret of watching stars, who says you can't try it here?

My friends are attracted by the dotted lights, and I am attracted by their backs. People always like to look at the scenery, but you actually decorate other people's eyes accidentally.

This is a cultural journey full of fireworks in Chengdu. This is a city that people can't help but love. Learn to be comfortable with such a leisurely pace. Scholars are happy to enjoy but uneasy and lonely Chengdu people, learn to be a Chengdu native with spicy and tea-flavored flavor, and learn to boil time into a unique and charming color vigorously and silently like Chengdu, a lovely city.

Choice of B & B hotels

-Taiguoli Area: This is the busiest place in the city center. Hotels are not cheap. If you can walk a few minutes away, there are good B & Bs next to it in Langyu, Tianxianqiao North Road, etc., and they are cheap and cheap. Some people cost less than 100 yuan!

-High-tech Zone: The south gate of Chengdu is now a wealthy area with good environment and facilities in all aspects. I still recommend the Laocheng District if I don't want to travel. You can stay in the south for one night. You can choose accommodation near Tianfu Third Street, which is close to the airport and Luhu
