A song "Chengdu" has become popular all over the country, making Chengdu appear in front of us more vividly. Of course, I am the same. I will go to a place because of a song and find her appearance, and I will accidentally find a different appearance. For example, this time, when I go to Chengdu and walk on the streets of Chengdu, I can't take away only you, but I can't take away your taste and those stories that I can't forget.

Chengdu·Food
Chengdu snacks have a long history, and there are countless delicacies on the streets, full of strong local characteristics. Hot pot, snacks, skewers... These are as famous as Sichuan cuisine throughout the country. It occupies a very important position in the treasure house of my country's culinary technical heritage. For native Chengdu people, delicious food has long been indispensable in life. If you come to Chengdu without visiting and eating delicious food, you will inevitably feel like you have returned empty-handed after entering Baoshan. From all kinds of small noodles to dumplings made in hand, from cake dumplings to fine snacks at banquets, from cold and shaken cold food to hot soups, from frying oil in pan to steaming and baking, all kinds of delicacies are sweet, salty, sour, spicy and colorful. Whether it is traditional food or modern popular food, I think Chengdu people's reservation and innovation in food making methods is one of the reasons why Chengdu's food has become long-lasting.
The first smell you smell when you arrive in Chengdu must be the smell of hot pot. Hot pot is definitely indispensable in Chengdu people's lives, and it is also the first image of Chengdu by outsiders. In the eyes of Chengdu people, there is nothing that cannot be solved by a hot pot meal. Hot pot restaurants, large and small, compete for beauty, each with its own merits. It is no exaggeration to say that if you take a map of Chengdu and randomly click on a few landmarks, you may hit several hot pot restaurants. The spicy and mellow pot bottom is the essence of authentic Chengdu hot pot. The taste has evolved from a single spicy flavor into Yuanyang hot pot, Sanwei and Siwei hot pot, as well as medicinal hot pot and fish head hot pot with nourishing functions.
When we mention Chengdu, we think of not only hot pot, but also a kind of delicious skewers similar to "hot pot". Although skewers are also a form of hot pot, skewers are even more popular than traditional hot pot in Chengdu. In recent years, Chuanchuan Xiang has gone out of Sichuan and become popular all over the country, and "Malatang" is also a variant of it. We can see "Malatang" in all parts of the country, whether in the streets or shopping squares, etc., especially near schools, there will be several stores opening in succession. However, when we actually come to Chengdu, You will find that the "Malatang" here is very different from the Malatang that we eat in our city.
In every alley and street in Chengdu, you can encounter many delicious food and interesting snacks anytime and anywhere. As a paradise for foodies, there are no days or nights that you can't finish eating. It is said that cities that understand food understand life better. Eating well in Chengdu, Chengdu people live comfortably, and the spicy taste in the streets is full of worldly fireworks. A city of food, the details hide people's care and carving of food. In turn, delicious food continues to soothe people's anxiety and loneliness, allowing them to remain filled in three meals a day.
Chengdu·Street Lane
Whether you are traveling or staying at home,"shopping" is definitely indispensable. "Shopping","eating and shopping", even if you are lying in bed, I believe that most people will pick up their mobile phones from time to time and stroll through that virtual "street" on the Internet. For Xiaobian who loves to travel,"shopping" is indispensable every time he visits a city. Let's talk about the most famous "Three Streets" in Tianfu Chengdu. One of them is "the most commercial", the other is "the most down-to-earth", and the other is "the most literary"!
1. Chunxi Road
As the saying goes: "If you don't reach Chunxi Road, you won't be counted as coming to Chengdu!" When talking about Chengdu, we must mention Chunxi Road. I believe many people are deeply impressed by the "giant panda" climbing the stairs on IFS. As a landmark in Chengdu, Chunxi Road is not only the most prosperous comprehensive business circle in Chengdu, but also a feeling of people for Chengdu. She is Chengdu's fashion bulletin board, Chengdu's pop culture station, and synonymous with Chengdu's charm. In 2005, Chunxi Road, known as the No. 1 Commercial Street in the Midwest, the No. 1 Commercial Highland in the Midwest, and the Golden Street in Chengdu, was selected into the top three in the "China Commercial Street Ranking", second only to Nanjing Road in Hong Kong and Shanghai. If foreigners come to Chengdu to travel, it will be a big pity if they don't visit Chunxi Road!
2. Jinli Ancient Street
There is also another icing on the cake in Chengdu, a historical district "created out of nothing". It is Jinli Ancient Street located on the east side of Wuhou Temple in Chengdu. If you have a friend from Chengdu, he will definitely say: "Don't go. There is nothing to visit in Jinli. The delicious food in Jinli is for foreigners." If you are a foreigner traveling to Chengdu, then you must not listen to your friends. You must go to Jinli Ancient Street and have a look. Because it is a microcosm of old Chengdu, the most "down-to-earth" place, and also the "most Chengdu" place.
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. There are well-arranged blue-tile buildings, rich and authentic Chengdu cuisine, profound and pure ancient Shu culture, and simple and lovely Chengdu residents. During your stroll, you will feel like traveling through time and space. Jinli Ancient Street solidifies the influence of the culture of the Three Kingdoms into a living folk market, and complements each other with the Wuhou Temple. The solemn and solemn ancestral hall of the Prime Minister also shows a vivid atmosphere of the times. It is known as the "Chengdu version of the Qingming Festival" Riverside Picture ".
3. Wide and narrow alleys
Compared with Jinli, which is "down-to-earth", Kuanzhai Alley appears "more petty and literary". In fact, it may not be appropriate to say that Kuanzhai Alley is a street, because it is an area, which is a little different from the street we remember. Kuanzhai Alley is a relatively large-scale ancient street of the Qing Dynasty left over from Chengdu. It consists of a wide alley, a narrow alley, a well alley and an antique courtyard house of indigo bricks and tiles in between. I believe that every tourist who comes to Chengdu will come here to check in!
It is said to be "the most literary and artistic" because its existence is the restoration of the collective memory of the old city of Chengdu and the reshaping of the soul of the city. Look at the old man drinking tea and playing chess under the shade of the trees, there are tourists sitting on bamboo chairs and enjoying picking their ears, and there are luxuriously decorated mid-to-high-end restaurants and bars when you walk in... Here, you can see the ancient buildings. The mottled years under the records, and you can also feel the modern fashion sense deep in the courtyard. Here, you can slow down, relax, and experience firsthand the perfect blend of ancient and modern, as well as the past and present life of time.
Chengdu·Museum
1. Chengdu Museum
Chengdu Museum is located on the west side of Tianfu Square in the center of Chengdu City, adjacent to Sichuan Province Library, Sichuan Art Museum, and Sichuan Science and Technology Museum. It covers an area of about 17 acres and has a total construction area of 65000 square meters. It is the largest comprehensive museum in Chengdu City. Take the subway to Tianfu Square Station and follow the elevator to the ground square. The black building on the west side is the Chengdu Museum. Walking up the steps, you can see that the main building of the museum is divided into two parts: north and south. The south building is mainly the administrative area on the ground (for tourists to store luggage, etc.), and the underground is the academic report hall (multi-purpose hall); the north building is mainly the exhibition area. The first floor is the hall, projection hall, and No. 1 pro-exhibition hall.
The Chengdu Museum is like a book, an encyclopedia about the city. It records the development and changes of this famous historical and cultural city in detail. The Sichuan Province Museum is also like a book, but it is not an encyclopedia dedicated to a certain city. It is an encyclopedia of this province. It records the development and changes of the Chengdu Plain in detail.
2. Sichuan Museum
Sichuan Museum is located in Huanhuaxi Historical and Cultural Scenic Area in Chengdu City. It was founded in 1941 and was then called Sichuan Museum. It was renamed Western Sichuan Museum at the end of 1950 and named Sichuan Province Museum in 1952. In 2009, with the completion of the new museum, it was officially renamed Sichuan Museum. It is the largest comprehensive museum in Southwest China and a national first-class museum.
The institute collects more than 260,000 cultural relics, including more than 50,000 precious cultural relics. The museum currently has 14 exhibition halls, including calligraphy and painting, ceramics, bronzes, ethnic cultural relics, arts and crafts, Tibetan Buddhism, Wanfo Temple stone carvings, Zhang Daqian's calligraphy and paintings, Han Dynasty pottery art and 4 temporary exhibition halls used to hold various temporary exhibitions, comprehensively reflect the glorious history of Sichuan Bashu culture, produce endless exquisite exhibits, and have strong regional cultural characteristics. This makes it occupy an important position among public museums across the country.
3. Jinsha Site Museum
The Jinsha Site is located at No. 2 Jinsha Site Road, Qingyang District, Chengdu City, Sichuan Province. It is a site of the Shang and Zhou Dynasties. Important relics discovered include large building sites, sacrificial areas, general residential sites, large cemeteries, etc., and many precious cultural relics such as gold, bronze, stone tools, ivory, and lacquer ware have been unearthed. There are also tens of thousands of pottery fragments, tons of ivory and thousands of wild boar tusks and antlers. It can be said to be the richest gold and jade objects unearthed in the world. The site with the densest ivory is also the ancient sacrificial remains with the longest duration, the most complete preservation, and the richest sacrificial relics and relics in our country.
The Jinsha Site is a major discovery in the archaeological community. It is the first major archaeological discovery in China since entering the 21st century. It is also another major archaeological discovery in Sichuan after Sanxingdui, and was selected as the "Top Ten Archaeological Discoveries in the Country in 2001." With the continuous excavation of archaeologists, its mystery has been revealed one by one. It was the capital of the Ancient Shu Kingdom, the center of ancient civilization in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River from the 12th century BC to the 7th century BC. It was about 3200 years ago. -In 2600 years, the history of Chengdu City's founding was advanced from 2300 years ago to about 3000 years ago.
Chengdu·Accommodation
Traveling is going from a place where you are tired of staying to a place where others are tired of staying. This trip to Chengdu is not only about looking for delicious food and discovering the differences in the city, but also saving more time to explore.
So this time I chose to stay in a hotel located near People's Park and Tianfu SquareSimm Inn Chengdu,The best thing about this hotel is its convenient transportation; the distancekuanzhai alleyIt's a 20-minute walk andTianfu square,Chengdu Museum,people's ParkIt takes a few minutes on foot;Chunxi Road, Tai Koo LiIt's only one stop by subway;Wuhou Temple, JinliTake the bus for 4 stops;
The whole hotel is courtyard-style. There are two century-old ginkgo trees in the inner courtyard. You can also see the Shaanxi Guild Hall. We chose an elegant queen bed room this time. It is the basic room type of this hotel. It feels good. Picture above!!
This room faces the road, but since this road is not the main road and the traffic volume is relatively small, it is relatively quiet. If the quality of sleep is not good, you can ask the lady at the front desk to change to a room near the inner courtyard. There is a tea set in the room for making tea and drinking.
There is a small bay window in the room where you can put things and so on.
The hotel uses disposable facial towels, which everyone can use with confidence. It can be seen that this hotel is attentive to hygiene and customer experience; the hotel also provides travel route guides, routes to various attractions, airports, high-speed rail stations, and nearby food.
It rained for the two days we stayed here, so the front desk can borrow umbrellas for free!
When checking out, the young brother at the front desk also presented us with a gift from our hotel. It was a little panda doll that could be hung on a backpack!
This hotel has a great experience! I recommend that everyone travel to Chengdu and give it a try!
Goodbye in Chengdu!
