This strange city has become familiar and gentle because you have been there before, and some scenes seem like yesterday. A window in my eyes was once where your gaze fell. It fell into the perfect memory and never left. The sound of high heels touching the stone slab gently awakened my memories. I was standing at the intersection of Tai Koo Li, where were you. Your fingers have touched the warmth of the afternoon sun, touched the moisture in the air, combined with the fragrance of bougainvillea in the corner, and carried your unique aroma around the air.
The time in Chengdu is beautiful, just like an old-fashioned gramophone, reminiscing about the mellow beauty of that moment.
When you go to all those cities with memories in the light, there is a gentle beauty that you just want to waste your life there.
Chengdu, abbreviated as Chengdu, also known as Rongcheng and Jincheng, is located in the western part of the Sichuan Basin and in the hinterland of the Chengdu Plain. It has a subtropical monsoon humid climate and has enjoyed the reputation of "Land of Abundance" since ancient times.
As the birthplace of ancient Shu civilization, Chengdu has given birth to many scenic spots and historic sites such as Jinli Ancient Street, Shuijingfang Museum, Jinsha Ruins, Dujiangyan, Wuhou Temple, and Du Fu Cottage.
Travel in the morning and evening:
Chengdu is in time for the holidays in August. In addition to the large number of people, the temperature is also quite high. In addition, there has been a lot of rain recently, and the entire air smells moist.
It is recommended to travel in the morning and evening to avoid the high temperature at noon. If the time does not allow it, you must pay attention to taking measures to prevent heatstroke and cool down when traveling, such as parasols, sunscreen, sunglasses, etc., which are still very effective to a certain extent.
Traffic Tips:
When you land at Chengdu Airport, you can choose the airport bus or subway to go to the city. Personally, I suggest taking the subway to avoid the trouble of traffic jams and have a certain guarantee of time. Taxi or online taxi booking is recommended for urban travel. Taxis will not be explained. The focus is on online taxi booking. Online taxi booking in Chengdu is still very convenient. There will be a vehicle receiving orders in almost 2 minutes. All three-day urban trips in Chengdu are online taxi booking. One reminder is to drive the model. Personally, I suggest avoiding older and smaller vehicles. According to my experience in the past few days, most of these models have the habit of smoking, and the hygiene inside the car is not very good.
Dietary Tips:
When you come to Chengdu, most people will choose hot pot or skewers. No spicy food will be fun. If you have a store you like, you must make an appointment in advance. You really have to wait dozens of minutes when you arrive at night. I remember that near the wide and narrow alleys, I chose Bang Ahan Bobo Chicken for lunch. When I went there, the store was full of people, and it took nearly 30 minutes to get a seat. Try not to buy snacks in the scenic area. Personally, the taste and quantity are not very good (in my opinion, do not spray them.)
Accommodation Tips:
There are many budget hotels in Chengdu. You can choose a hotel according to your destination. For this trip, we chose the location of Qingyang District near Jinjiang River near Jinli, which is very convenient for transportation and shopping.
It was already night when I arrived in Chengdu, and I was really tired from a day's flight time. I just slept until I woke up naturally the next day. This was the best mode for a vacation in Chengdu.
When I woke up, it was already 11 o'clock in the afternoon. I simply packed up and set off for Chengdu's first stop to check in Kuanzhai Alley. On the way, I asked my friends what they could recommend about the nearby food, and finally decided to "rub" Chengdu's string first. For lunch. The hot weather cannot stop a person's determination to eat food. Putting aside the ways to cool off the heat of foods such as salad, mung bean soup, and bitter gourd, it seems that there is less motivation. The perfect solution is to bring a pot of chicken.
This is Bang Ahan Bobo Chicken located at No. 81 Zhongtongren Road near Kuanzhai Alley. It is about 600 meters away from Kuanzhai Alley Station of Metro Line 4. The location is easy to find.
Bang Ahan Bo Bo Chicken uses a white enamel pot as a container, coupled with your favorite soup base. This color alone is enough to attract the impulse of taste buds.
"Bo Bo" is actually a earthen jar. The outside of the bowl is painted with red and yellow porcelain dragon patterns. The bowl contains spicy seasonings. After processing in Tezhushu, the dishes are made with skewers, dried and cooled. Soak in various flavors of seasonings, and take your own food when eating.
Bobo chicken is a famous traditional Sichuan snack and belongs to the Sichuan cuisine family. It has a history of hundreds of years since the Qing Dynasty. It is made from a pottery bowl filled with boneless chicken slices with spicy seasonings and a variety of seasonings. It has the characteristics of crispy skin and tender meat, spicy and delicious, and moderate sweetness and saltiness.
Bang Ahan Bo Bo Chicken has recently launched two small activities. One is to scan the code to shoot and post videos to give you a drink that you want; the other is to eat with your strength. As long as you have the strength to break enough lots, there will be a cash reward. A bonus of 10 yuan for breaking 30 sticks, a bonus of 30 yuan for breaking 60 sticks, and a bonus of 100 sticks. Is this temptation irresistible? Come to Bang Ahan Bo Chicken and have a different bowl chicken experience.
The enamel pot is filled with bamboo sticks, which is not only convenient but also interesting to eat. Chicken nuggets, lotus root slices, black fungus, bean skins, etc. dipped in red soup with a clear and visible base are dipped in the sauce carefully prepared by the store., it definitely has a unique flavor to eat. After the food with bamboo stick tips has absorbed the soup, the bright red soup slowly slides down. The mellow aroma of sesame seeds mixed with the spicy flavor of the food spreads through the tongue. The tender lotus root slices, smooth and thick fungus, and the combination of meat and vegetables makes you can't help but string it one after another. This is the charm of Bang Ahan Bo Chicken.
In the hot summer, Bang Ahan Bobo Chicken has introduced a new way to eat Bobo Chicken, which is a skewer that can be added with ice. This is the ice cube I just took from the refrigerator. It still has frost on it. Remember not to take it by hand, but to use a special clip.
The overall temperature of the stick Ahan Bobo Chicken with ice cubes has dropped a lot, making the taste more comfortable at the entrance. What you feel is a little bit of residual warmth, and everything is just right.
Or bring a bottle of Arctic Ocean to cool down the hot 34-degree Chengdu at this moment. Nothing is more direct than this kind of happiness.
This is a heart-shaped cold cake from Bang Ahan Bobo Chicken Shop. It is full of beauty. The sweet brown sugar juice is paired with the white cold cake, allowing your taste buds to enjoy the sweet taste at this moment.
I ate until I was full, but I still ordered a cold noodles. This is the persistence of eating food. Don't hit me. The strength of the cold noodles is very in place, and the taste is not affected by the invasion of spicy juice. It is complemented with shredded cucumber, shredded carrot, shredded peanuts and other ingredients, and they are perfectly blended together. To describe it with today's popular words: exploding.
When most people come to Chengdu for the first time, they will definitely think of Kuanzhai Alley. It 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 courtyard houses made of indigo bricks and tiles.
Later, a friend who asked about Chengdu learned that Kuanzhai Alley was a relatively large-scale ancient Qing Dynasty street left over from Chengdu, and now it has become a must-check place when visiting Chengdu.
The wide and narrow alleys are slowly integrated into the western Sichuan folk houses from the barracks dormitories. The harsh western Sichuan style courtyard shape inside the residential houses is also basically preserved. Building components such as window sashes and bird hanging poles reproduce the charm of old Chengdu in detail.
The name of Kuan Lane was called Xingren Hutong during the Xuantong period of the Qing Dynasty. There are many buildings in the narrow alleys from the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, including some Western-style buildings left by the church. Kuan Alley is a "leisure life" area and a reproduction of life in old Chengdu. There is the Old Chengdu Life Experience Hall on the wide alley, where both the customs and old Chengdu folk customs are here.
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 cultural people hang out in the alley, spending the entire afternoon leisurely and feeling the time. Stop.
Narrow Alley is an exquisite lifestyle area with the themes of various Western catering, light catering, coffee, art and leisure, healthy living halls, and characteristic cultural themed stores.
When I was tired from walking, I found a small Western-style building to have a rest. The small Western-style building is located in a wide and narrow alley. The Roman columns, Western-style arched doors and windows, and the big five-star decoration on the window lattice are Western symbols. Woodcut railings, carved diagonal braces and hanging drops are traditional Chinese components. The culture of combining Chinese and Western cultures has created the small Western-style building.
In a quiet afternoon, looking at the people coming and going downstairs and enjoying the comfort and freedom of this moment alone, what a beautiful thing it would be.
If you like the tranquility in the hustle and bustle, the bookstore is the first choice here. There is no noise, no neon, and there is an elegant beauty that belongs to wide and narrow alleys. Sanlian Taofen Bookstore is located in the wide and narrow alley in Chengdu, next to the most famous "horse tying stone" in the alley.
I have always liked the bookstore, a book, and an afternoon time.
In today's society, more and more people have given up the habit of writing books, and more or less feel that something has been lost, but these are beyond words.
The bookstore retains the original courtyard structure, including beams, pillars, doors and windows, etc. The basic structure of all old courtyard houses has not been changed at all. The biggest change is the infiltration and matching of modern and original colors. At the entrance is the bar where guests can order a cup of coffee or tea and enjoy reading time. There is a towering large bookcase on each side. The glass door is also made of soundproof material, and there is also an ancient fragrant camphor tree in the middle, where the floating mind gradually calms down.
The fifth trip to Chengdu and the second trip to Jinli Ancient Street are not good or bad about this place. Everyone's evaluation of things often comes with their own direct view, that is, they subconsciously impose their own preferences on others. If you have not experienced it personally, the "experience" you hear from others is irresponsible.
The reason why Jinli costs 15 yuan is because most of the snacks here cost 15 yuan. Let's just describe it this way. This time, we rushed early and avoided the crowded crowd and the shouts all over the street. At this time, Jinli Ancient Street was a little quiet and peaceful.
Jinli Ancient Street is only separated from the famous Wuhou Temple by a wall. Linwu Houci Street, this street can directly reach Tianfu Square in the city center, connect to the west section of the First Ring Road in the west, and Xianxianqiao Street in the east.
Legend has it that Jinli was once one of the oldest and most commercial streets in the history of Western Shu. It was famous nationwide as early as the Qin, Han and Three Kingdoms periods. Today's Jinli relies on the Wuhou Temple in Chengdu, with the spirit of the Qin, Han and Three Kingdoms as its soul, the style of the Ming and Qing Dynasties as its exterior, and the folk customs and folk customs of western Sichuan as its content, expanding the extension of the culture of the Three Kingdoms. On this street, the essence of Chengdu life is condensed: there are teahouses, inns, restaurants, bars, stage, snacks, handicrafts, and local specialties. The unique charm of the Three Kingdoms culture and Sichuan folk customs is everywhere revealed.
You can see Zhang Fei's beef, three cannons, and fat sausage noodles everywhere in Jinli Ancient Street. Each cup is for the taste. There are also craftsman's toys. Make a clay figurine, turn a sugar painting, and buy a paper-cut. It will always make you miss the simple happiness of childhood.
The theater is still there, but there are no telling how many singers have changed. We are just a speck of dust in the world, floating down from the sky and landing on the mortal world. Who have you met and who should you meet? Do you keep those people we should cherish deep in your hearts and use all the warmth to protect them? Even if a few years later, you lose the picture in front of you, and I am just a stranger in your parallel world, and you are still the scenery of my life.
I ordered a portion of jelly and a portion of dandan noodles, which cost a total of 30 yuan. Isn't it a little extravagant for breakfast? In fact, it's good to be happy.
I still haven't made up my mind to try the legendary delicious rabbit head and look at it from a distance, just look at it from a distance. In Jinli, there are many specialties from nearby suburban counties that are difficult to buy in urban Chengdu.
For example, Zhang Fei's beef is produced in Langzhong, Sichuan. It is black on the outside and not very good, but the inside is the true color of beef. It is made of first-class beef mixed with special spices and has a unique taste; for example, Tangma Cake is produced in Chongzhou, Sichuan. In addition, there are snacks such as Jiujiu Duck Neck, Beef Bean Pudding, Sanhe Ni, Sugar Oil Fruit, Piss Beef Meatballs, Stinky Tofu, Camellia oleifera, Beef Charred Cake, Hot and Sour Rice Noodles, Soba Noodles, Bobo Chicken, etc. As long as your appetite is big enough, you can satisfy any small wish to eat food here.
Many people come here from different places, looking forward to meeting a story, and then the people they meet or the stories they hear eventually become words.
Chengdu is still warm in the afternoon, and the chirping of cicadas can be heard everywhere, sometimes far and near. It is recommended to enter from the main entrance of People's Park and play clockwise. It takes about 3-4 hours to enjoy tea and rest.
Chengdu City People's Park is located at No. 20, Jiangjun Street, Qingyang District, Chengdu City, Sichuan Province. It was formerly known as Shaocheng Park. It has beautiful scenery and convenient transportation. It is the largest in the center of the bustling urban area. It is also the first open landscape, garden and historical park in Chengdu City that has broken walls and green and is still greener than citizens.
The lake in the park is slightly gourd shaped, and the simple and elegant Jinyu Island and Yongju Lao Tea House are located in the lake. Willows, hibiscus, quince, and peach blossoms are planted along the coast. The mountains, green waters, lakes and mountains are very beautiful. It is really a rare place to find peace in the middle of the chaos.
There are docks, water pavilions, pavilions, bridges, etc. on the lake. The rockery rises and falls into the lake from the lake, facing the garden pavilion opposite. The lakes and mountains complement each other, making the entire western rockery more tranquil and spectacular.
Several square bird cages are hung under the high-rise pergola, and the root-carved tea table is equipped with bamboo and wood chairs on all sides. After the tea guest sits down, the long-mouthed bronze wine pot lights three points, and the waiter shouts a few comforting words. The tea drinkers blow and smell it, sip it, and sip it, and sink it into the aroma of tea...
This is the life of Chengdu people. All the scenes happen in Heming Teahouse.
Heming Tea House was originally built by the family surnamed Gong in Dayi in the early 1920s. It was originally a two-story Chinese classical building. It was one of the six major teahouses in Shaocheng Park during the Republic of China: Heming, Zhenliu, Lvyin Pavilion, Yongju, Shede Hui and Cultural Tea Garden. It is also the oldest and most influential teahouse among all teahouses in the Main City of Chengdu.
There is a pair of black lacquer pillars in Heming Tea House, which reads: "All four are sitting empty for a moment, regardless of you and me. There is a way to eat one cup at both ends, and each takes one's own things." Perhaps tea customers taste more than just tea, but an open-minded and insipid nature.
In Sichuan, tea shops use "cover bowls" to drink tea. The "Gai Bowl" consists of three heads: a tea bowl, a tea lid and a tea boat. It is known as the Three Fortresses and also known as the "Sancai Bowl". The cover is the sky, the support is the ground, and the bowl is the person. Among them, tea boat is also called tea boat. It is said that it was invented in Chengdu by the daughter of Cui Ning, the governor of Xichuan during the Jianzhong period of Dezong of the Tang Dynasty.
Heming Teahouse has a lot of people. I suggest that friends who need to taste tea must come early, choose a location near the lake, meet three to five friends, and spend free time in People's Park.
I chose the Shuijingfang Museum on the morning of the last day, but the ticket price of 50 yuan was still unexpected. I personally felt that it was a little expensive. Chengdu Shuijingfang Museum is located in Shuijing Street, Jinjiang District, Chengdu City. It is a four-in-one cultural relics exhibition hall, non-physical heritage demonstration site, wine culture experience center, and origin of high-quality famous wines. It reproduces the 600-year history of the national intangible cultural heritage "Shuijingfang Wine Traditional Brewing Skills" with real production scenes and demonstrates Shuijingfang's characteristic wine cultural experience.
When you enter the museum, you can see the replica model, vividly reproducing the ancient appearance of Shuijingfang's stores in front and back factories, as well as land and water transportation. The river in the middle is the Jinjiang River, and Shuijingfang Winery is located in the streets and alleys along the Jinjiang River. Not far away is the ancient well, which has now become a trace of history.
It is said that every household in this area in ancient times had this octagonal well, hence the name of the place "Shuijing Street". I guess this is also the origin of Shuijingfang. The winery site on Shuijing Street is the earliest discovered and most completely preserved liquor brewing site in the country and even in the world. It has been praised as "the first liquor shop in China" by historians and cultural historians.
The museum also has a site visit area. In addition to leaving fermented koji where craftsmen often have activities, there are also well-preserved ash pits, drying halls, still bases, etc. The drying halls alone are divided into the Qing Dynasty drying halls and modern drying halls. It is very exquisite.
For friends who like to learn about wine culture, the Shuijingfang Museum is still worth visiting. After all, everyone's needs are different, and it is difficult for you to evaluate other people's needs with your own perspective.
I brought Feiyu's latest mini handheld pan/tilt on this trip. The folded size is no problem in my pocket. My favorite is the standard tripod. I no longer have to worry about asking passers-by to help shoot. I can do whatever I want.
Just like this, the three-day trip to Chengdu is about to end, but the story has just happened...
Sitting in the small courtyard and looking at the crowd coming and going on the road, most of them are actually passers-by in a hurry, but for some reason, in this city, looking out through the mist of tea in their hands, they are all scattered.
It's good to just sit like this.
I thought, this is an attractive city to come back again, and maybe I will come back in the future.
I thought to myself that I was still lying in bed at home in the morning and refused to get up, but in a flash, I stood on the street of Chengdu. The lights were blurred, the road was familiar but unfamiliar, and I couldn't see the local accent. I just walked around Chengdu several times.
