8 days, per capita cost: 3000 yuan. Travel time: Early June Departure place: Hohhot, Inner Mongolia

For Chengdu, my biggest feeling is leisure. Therefore, the best way to travel in Chengdu is to stroll around at will. Chengdu's subway is developed, which can completely meet the need to go wherever you want. When you are tired, you can find a park and ask for a bowl of tea and look at the green trees around you. It is very comfortable. Parks can be seen everywhere in Chengdu. There are parks of different sizes on almost every street and intersection. There are teahouses in every park, and the prices are close to the people. Compared with Chengdu, Chongqing gives people a more lively overall feeling, hotter and more people than Chengdu. Chengdu is more imperial, and Chongqing is more market-like. Traveling is not about visiting all the famous attractions, but about going out of your own way and being happy. (Also: Due to the theft of the mobile phone, some travel photos were found, but they were vague. Please understand.)

1. Recommendations for this trip:

1. Attractions: Sichuan: (1) Du Fu Cottage, Huanhuaxi Park, experience the poetry of the poet saint. (2) Red walls (Du Fu Cottage, Wuhou Temple, Wenshu Courtyard, wearing black, white or small floral flowers, are all very beautiful and beautiful when photographed). (3) Dujiangyan, feel the wisdom of the ancients. (4) Leshan Giant Buddha is sacred and shocking.

Chongqing: The first launch of the "Huasheng Garden Golden Cake Kingdom" is suitable for girls and children to visit attractions. Rent a princess dress and take beautiful photos, which can satisfy girls 'princess dreams. The night view of Hongya Cave is very beautiful, you must go; Zhongshu Pavilion, Sichuan-American Graffiti Wall, Liziba, let's see your personal preferences. Chongqing's attractions are beautiful to see other people's photos. I also came to have a look, and they are also good to take pictures, but the direct visual experience is very ordinary.

2. Food: Chengdu: (1) Dad stir-fried steak and old hot pot (the dishes are rich and fresh, and the desserts are excellent)(2) Dongzikou Zhang Laoer jelly (sweet water surface is delicious)(3) Palace Pastry Shop (the cakes are rich and delicious, cheap)

Leshan: (1) Fangfang cross-legged beef (the soup is really delicious)(2) Chuanmei ice noodles (the most delicious ice noodles during the whole trip)(3) Wang Duck·Sweet Skin Duck (his family is authentic, and the locals basically buy his family)(4) Li Laosan fried skewer (oily but not greasy, paired with egg fried rice, it is delicious and can't stop. Beef, corn kernels, and palm treasures are my favorite)

Chongqing: (1) Dayang Department Store (This is a shopping mall. The reason why I recommend it is because it is very popular in the night market. There is a long list of snacks in line, which are sold here. In addition, when you go to scenic spots, you usually change here, so don't rush to go. If you happen to be hungry, you must come here to eat some snacks. A yogurt cow recommended the "Fruit Duoduo" series. The various swamps in Wu's swamps are delicious. The sweet potato skin dried beans here are very big. You can sandwich all kinds of things)(2) Zhen Ji Black and White Meat Bean Pudding (The pot is made of clear soup and has various dips. The dips are spicy. You can dip them or not. It is very friendly to people who cannot eat spicy food. The taste is light, which I prefer)(3) Hu Ji Hoof Flower Soup (Delicious)(4) Laotangkou, Shancheng (Sichuan cuisine, I don't know if it is authentic, but I think it is delicious.) In fact, it doesn't matter whether it is authentic or not. There is no need to find the kind of small restaurant that is authentic and remote recommended by the locals, because as a foreigner, you may not be used to it. Moreover, you may really spend an hour or two shopping in Chongqing and still can't find a place. There is no need to say how sorry you don't eat the most authentic food. In fact, if you like this place, you can come again next time.

3. Accommodation recommendations: Chengdu: Near Caotang (Jinjiang Inn Caotang is the best among all Jinjiang Inn I have ever stayed in, and it is strongly recommended from environment to location) Leshan: Near Jiaxiang Road, a food street. Chongqing: Near Jiefangbei, it is convenient to travel and eat.

4. When visiting scenic spots, it is recommended to buy tickets from Ctrip one day in advance, so that you can enter the scenic spot by swiping your ID card the next day, eliminating the trouble of queuing to buy tickets. Tickets are available for Ctrip for all scenic spots in Sichuan and Chongqing.

5. Chengdu's main transportation methods are subway and shared bicycles. Chongqing relies on walking. If you really can't find it, you can take Didi instead of taking taxis.

2. Itinerary arrangements

day1 6.6

Arrive in Chengdu by plane in the morning at 10 a.m., then take the subway to the hotel and stay at Jinjiang Inn (Chengdu Du Fu Caotang Store). This store is strongly promoted. Although it is a certain distance from Du Fu Caotang, it is very close to the subway line, making travel convenient; there are fruit shops in the surrounding area, as well as Chengdu's supermarket chain Hongqi Convenience Store, which is also very convenient to buy things; the hotel is located in a secluded alley compound, very quiet, good environment, and clean.

At noon, we had dinner at "Dad Fried Rice Steak Old Hot Pot (Caotang Store)"(an authentic Sichuan hot pot restaurant led us by local classmates). Personally, we think this is the best hot pot restaurant during the entire trip. The dishes are very comprehensive, especially the desserts are great, and the key point is that there is no need to queue up!

(Dad's fried dessert: Iced glutinous rice balls, it's delicious)

After dinner, walk to the "Du Fu Cottage". Admission is 50 yuan. The Cottage is a scenic spot with beautiful natural and cultural scenery, especially the red walls of the Cottage, which are beautiful. Different from the red walls in other places, the red walls of the Cottage are relatively short and echo the lush forests and bamboo trees behind, making people feel relaxed and happy. The red wall of the Cottage is in the "Flower Path" and is a little out of the way. If you can't find it, ask the staff. You can't miss it!

(Scenery in the Cottage)

(Du Fu Thousand Poetry Monument)

(Photo taken on the Red Wall of the Cottage)

Come out from the Cottage and head to Huanhuaxi Park. Huanhuaxi Park is next to Du Fu Cottage. There are many scenic spots, the first of which is the "Poetry Avenue", which must not be missed by those who learn Chinese.

(Gaiwan tea in Huanhuaxi Park)

Go to "Kuanzhai Alley" in the evening for dinner. Personally, I don't think Kuanzhai Alley is worth visiting. The snacks sold there are the same everywhere in the country. The prices are high and the taste is poor, especially ice powder, which is simply difficult to swallow. So if the schedule is tight, you can not go. Jinli is also an old street in Chengdu. It is much better than Kuanzhai Alley in terms of goods, food and scenery.

(Photo taken in Kuanzhai Alley)

day2 6.7

In the morning, breakfast was settled at a nearby noodle shop. Chengdu's wonton noodles, chicken offal noodles, bedding noodles, etc. are very delicious, and any small shop does well.

Then take the high-speed train to Dujiangyan (the high-speed train must buy a ticket for the "Li Dui Park Station". The station is very close to the scenic spots. You can walk, bus, or share bicycles to the scenic spots. Don't take a black car. It's very close.) Qingcheng Mountain and Dujiangyan are together. A friend who likes to climb mountains suggested a day's trip. My husband and I don't like to climb mountains, so we went directly to Dujiangyan. It is recommended to hire a tour guide when visiting Dujiangyan. Otherwise, after wandering for a long time, we won't know where the fish's mouth and fish tail are. There are sightseeing buses in the scenic area. If the weather is not hot, it is recommended to visit on foot. The scenic area is not large, the environment is excellent, and the bamboo forests are dense, so it is the best choice for taking photos.

(Dujiangyan Scenic Area)

In the afternoon, I took the high-speed train back to Chengdu and ate at the "Tao Lin" restaurant. His family is very popular on the Internet. I personally think it's average. Overall, the dishes are heavy and spicy, and friends with a light taste will not stand it.

(Glutton Forest Boy, Stir-fried Frog with Ginger)

Go for a stroll in Tai Koo Li at night. Tai Koo Li mainly sells luxury goods and some delicious food. Chengdu is the incubation base for Internet celebrities, and Taikoo Li can be said to be the main position of the base. I personally have no feelings for this, so I don't find Taikoo Li very interesting.

day3 6.8

Call Didi early in the morning to go to the "Chengdu Giant Panda Breeding Research Base". The tickets were bought in advance from Ctrip. After booking the tickets, you can directly swipe your ID card to enter the park. There is no need to collect the tickets. The scenic area opens at 7:30, but be sure to go early! Be sure to go early! Be sure to go early! Also pay attention to the weather. Panda cubs will not be released on rainy days or when the temperature is too high, so coming here also depends on opportunity. I went to the queue to enter the scenic spot, because if I went late, the giant panda cubs would be collected. Even if they were not collected, there would be people in front of you and almost nothing could be seen. Moreover, from one to ten o'clock, the giant pandas were all asleep and motionless. There are many scenic spots in the scenic area. The Moon Delivery Room is the most interesting. Some giant panda cubs will be placed inside. The cubs are usually released at eight o'clock, so friends who go early will wait around the Moon Delivery Room. If they are lucky, they can see panda cubs fighting, climbing trees, and eating bamboo. It is very interesting. There are also red pandas in the garden, both free-range and captive, so you can interact with them.

(Moon Delivery Room)

(Little Panda)

After visiting the Panda Base at about 10:30, I went back to the city. Because I thought the "Dad's stir-fried ingredients" on the first day were delicious, I went to eat "Houtang Old Hotpot". There are more pots at his house, including pickled cabbage and bean curd pot. Good, very friendly to friends who don't eat spicy food, but the dishes and desserts are obviously better than
"Dad fried ingredients" are much less.

(Houtang Old Hotpot)

I went to Wuhou Temple in the afternoon. I was personally not interested in the Three Kingdoms. I had been there when I came to Chengdu before, so I didn't go in. There is a long red wall outside Wuhou Temple. Haha, I came here to take photos.

After taking photos, wait until the sky is getting dark and the lights are on, and go to Jinli to experience Chengdu's nightlife.

day4 6.9

It rained in Chengdu on this day, which was cool but not cold. In the morning, I went to Manshu Temple. There was a commercial street near the Manshu Temple, which had the feeling of a typical southern street. The trails were clean and tree-lined.

(Manshu Temple Commercial Street)

The most popular snack on the commercial street is "Dongzikou Zhanglaoer jelly". His "sweet water surface" is very delicious, but it varies from person to person. The noodles have a little sweetness. Friends who don't like sweetness may find it very ordinary. There is also the famous "Palace Pastry Shop" in Chengdu (Wenshu Yuan is the main store). There are many varieties of high-quality cakes and they are also very cheap. You can bring some to relatives and friends. There is a delivery point nearby and you can mail them directly. I love Butterfly crispy and egg yolk crispy.

(Sweet Water Surface)

The red wall of Manshu Temple is also a must-check place. The red walls of Manshu Temple are similar to the red walls of Wuhou Temple, but the red walls of Manshu Temple are more worth visiting because they have "blessings". If you are not interested in the Three Kingdoms, you can come here directly without having to go to the Wuhou Temple to check in.

(Red Wall of Manshu Temple)

In the afternoon, I went to the "Chengdu Shu Brocade Embroidery Museum"(which is close to where I live. Although I found it by chance while wandering, I thought it was worth it). There will be some Shu embroidery and Shu brocade sold there. If you like it, you can bring it with you. The prices vary. There are also commentators who will explain the embroidery process of Shu embroidery and Shu brocade.

(Chengdu Shu Brocade Weaving and Embroidery Museum)

In the afternoon, we took the high-speed train to Leshan. There are so many delicious food in Leshan, and the first meal was arranged with cross-legged beef. I went to "Fangfang Stepping Beef"(Jiaxiang Road Store, there are all kinds of snacks on Jiaxiang Road Street, such as Sichuan Mei Bing Fen and Bo Bo Chicken. They are all available here. You can find them all along the road. It is recommended to stay here). His home website is popular, but there are mixed reviews. I think it is not bad. The soup is light, but not weak, the meat is also good, and the blood is average. It is not as delicious as freshly cooked hot pot. Bobo chicken business is also very popular, but I can't eat spicy food, so I didn't try it."Chuanmei Ice Powder" is the most delicious ice powder I think after this trip, especially the "Three Fresh Ice Powder", which looks light but tastes excellent.

(Beef on stilts)

day5 6.10

Go to Leshan Scenic Area in the morning, buy a ticket to view the Buddha from a distance, and then enter the scenic area for sightseeing (the order of visiting the scenic area is generally to go north and east, because the Buddhist family emphasizes never turning back, but if you want to get out from the east gate, you also need to buy tickets to another scenic spot in the scenic area, the "Oriental Buddha Capital", which contains the world's largest reclining Buddha, Guanyin Cave, but you need to have an explanation, otherwise you will feel very boring after walking around.) It takes about half a day to visit the Leshan Scenic Area. There are temples,"Dongpo Tower" and "Su Garden" related to Su Shi.

(Dongpo Tower, which contains Su Shi's poems)

After coming out of the east gate, I took a drip and went back to the hotel. The drip driver I met was very enthusiastic and took us to buy the most authentic local "sweet duck" in Leshan: "King Duck·Sweet duck" to give it a sweet taste. It's really delicious. After listening to the driver's introduction, I went to eat the "Li Laosan Fried String" that is popular among locals. His house is very popular, and there is a whole street in line during the peak season. (Corn kernels, beef kebabs, and palm treasures are the best)

(Li Laosan fried skewers)

(King Duck·Sweet Skin Duck)

In the afternoon, I took the high-speed train to Chongqing. It was late to arrive in Chongqing. I lived near Jiefangbei. This is a commercial street, where it is convenient to eat and drink, and it is also close to the subway.

day6 6.11

In the morning, I took the light rail to the famous Zhongshu Pavilion (Harry Potter Bookstore). There were many people, all of whom came to take photos.

(Zhong Shuge)

At noon, I went to the nearby "Zhen Ji Black and White Meat Bean Cuisine" and asked for the "Lasted Ribs Pot". The pot is divided into small pots and large pots. More than five people need a large pot. You can also add tofu pudding, vegetables, and staple foods (these are self-service, and each person charges 6 yuan). The pot is relatively light and friends who can't accept spicy food can try it. It tastes very good. Take the tofu pudding soup and add a little tofu pudding to soak the rice. The taste is super great.

(Black and white meat bean curd)

In the afternoon, I went to Liziba to visit Chongqing's most famous light rail.

(Liziba)

Then I went to Dayang Department Store and ate dried bean curd, wonton, and a yogurt cow (mixed reviews, I still think it's quite delicious. The key is to judge the food. To be honest, the "Signature Purple Rice" series is really average. The best thing in his family should be the "Fruit Duo" series, especially the "Baixiang Bo Duo Yogurt", which is the one that finishes one cup and wants to drink a second cup). Dried bean curd with sweet potato skin is also very delicious. It is very big, and you can add various things, such as fillet bacon. There are many types of "Wu Wonshou" and they taste good.

(Sweet potato skin)

(A yogurt cow)

Go to Hongya Cave at night. Hongya Cave is a free scenic spot and you can enter it by scanning the code. Any charging item is a lie. Walking inside, there is a feeling of "you stand on the bridge and watch the scenery, and people watching the scenery look at you under the bridge", because the night view of Hongya Cave is to be seen from the road opposite the scenic area. Various snacks are sold in the scenic area (don't buy them, it's terrible), restaurants, and gadgets.

(Hongyadong)

day7 6.12

In the morning, we had breakfast near the hotel, and then took the subway to the Sichuan-American Graffiti Wall. The most distinctive features were "Le is the Fog City" and "I Love Chongqing"

(Graffiti Wall)

Go to "Hu Ji Hoof Flower Soup" for lunch. His family is very popular, so it's best not to rush over at meal time, or the queue will take a long time. One serving of hoof soup contains a whole hoof and stewed soft peas. The hoof soup is really fresh and delicious, but his rice is terrible. You can order less rice and drink more soup.

(Hoof flower soup)

In the afternoon, I went to the most worthwhile attraction in Chongqing,"Huasheng Garden Golden Cake Kingdom". There are castles large and small, but whether it is from the perspective of taking photos or playing experience, I have to rent a princess dress to feel better. It's like I really walk in the castle like a princess. I think this is every girl's dream. Walking along the road when entering the scenic spot, there is a family that rents clothes about 100 meters away. It is also the first family in the scenic spot to rent clothes. Remember to rent clothes from his house. His clothes are clean and have a variety of types. The price is 50 yuan., regardless of time, there will be matching headwear, but it will not include makeup or photography, so you have to put on your own makeup. Further inside, there are people who rent clothes + take photos, but they are quite difficult and the photos are not very good. Moreover, as long as you take pictures, whether you take them or not, you will have to charge, so if your companions are good at taking pictures, they can just take pictures of each other.

(Watson Garden Golden Cake Kingdom)

In the evening, go to the "Jiucun Roasted Brain Flowers" near Jiefangbei for barbecue. You have to try the "Ba Ba Shao"(corn kernels, beef, and Xiaojun liver are good, and the chicken skin is a little dry)"BaShao Brain Flowers" is the signature. It is heavy and spicy, and people with heavy mouthfuls will like it. The rest depends on their preferences and varies from person to person. This store is a chain store and relatively popular. Personally, I think the taste is good, but it is not amazing, and the price is not low. This store in Jiefangbei is located in the night market area, so it is not recommended to order too much. You can try something else with some stomach, but I didn't buy it because the Dayang Department Store mentioned earlier has almost all the more famous stores here, and it's not worth waiting in line for so long.

day8 6.13

I was quite tired from playing the day before, so I slept until I woke up naturally that day, and then went to "Shancheng Laotangkou"(Jiefangbei Hongyadong Store) to eat Sichuan cuisine. Maoxuewang, Kung Pao Chicken Dice, Huang Hua Crispy Broth, and Ants Shangshu are all good. Maoxuewang is the first one, because it is Chongqing after all. His home environment is also very good, clean and elegant. In terms of price, it is relatively high in Chongqing, because Chongqing itself has low prices. After eating, I walked around the nearby shopping malls. There are shopping malls everywhere near Jiefangbei. There is a cute pet zoo nearby (the name is a little unclear, but there is the word cute pet). It is a place to rub rabbits and various rabbits, big and small, you can feed them and interact with them.

(Cute Pet Zoo)

Fly back to Hohhot in the afternoon and the trip ends ~

During the whole trip, I liked Chengdu better. After going to Chengdu, I could really understand the true meaning of "you never enter Sichuan when you are young, and you never leave Sichuan when you are old." I was really reluctant to part with it. From climate, environment, to cultural atmosphere, and to the pace of life, Chengdu is a city that combines thousands of advantages.
