---------------------------------------------------------Let me say a few words first--------------------------------------------------------------

It's not a honeymoon, but it's even more enjoyable and enjoyable than a honeymoon trip. My wife and I just got married not long ago and both work in the tourism industry. The pandemic has made our already fragile industry even more difficult. Strictly speaking, it's like adding ice to our studies, or it's like adding ice to a pile of ice. But there are always two sides to everything. We have gained rare leisure time, and our longing for travel begins to stir. An idea arises: go out and play!

PS: This article is a description and reflection, not a guide, for reference only

--------------------------------------------------------What have we prepared------------------------------------------------------

1. ID card, driver's license

2. Alipay Health Code (Tianfu Health Access and Yukang Code)

-----------------------------------------------------------The main film begins-----------------------------------------------------------

We depart from Tianjin and choose air transportation, entering from Chengdu and exiting from Chongqing. High speed railway between Chengdu and Chongqing.

The local small transportation chooses to drive by car, which is a regular economy sedan with enough space for two people

When renting a car, make sure to make a note of returning the car in a different location, as my itinerary involves entering and exiting from different locations

------------------------------------------------------------The first day--------------------------------------------------------------

After landing at P1 Shuangliu Airport, the staff of the car rental company called to arrange an exit with them. They will come to pick you up by car and then go to the car rental company's parking lot to handle the procedures. Please pay attention

※ Open Alipay, search for Tianfu Health Pass, and fill in. This is necessary during the epidemic!

※ Renting a car requires a deposit of 2000 yuan, which can be used to pre authorize with a credit card. Some car rental companies can waive the deposit with Sesame Credit, and the pre authorization will be unfrozen approximately 30 days after the rental ends. Sesame Credit can unfreeze the deposit on the day of returning the car

※ Check the condition of the car. Here, we won't go into detail on how to check the car. Small details need to be examined, such as whether the wipers make any noise or whether there is a phone holder inside the car.

Vehicle insurance varies from person to person. I usually have a 50 yuan/day car damage insurance, which is a deductible for vehicle damage below 1500 yuan

P2 drive to Jinli Ancient Street (free admission) (approximately 35 minutes by car)

The car is parked in the underground parking lot about 200 meters in front of Wuhou Temple, and then walk back

The gameplay is not repeated, a commercial street with old bottles of new wine

P3 has hotpot for dinner! This varies from person to person. Open a certain group's app, search for hotpot, and find someone with a high review. There's no problem.

Note that if it is a very popular store, go ahead and queue up! Go ahead and queue up! Go ahead and queue up!

P4 Since Dujiangyan Irrigation Project was the next day of the trip, after dinner in Chengdu, I drove directly there (about 1 hour and 15 minutes)

------------------------------------------------------------The next day--------------------------------------------------------------

Qingcheng Mountain Scenic Area+Dujiangyan Irrigation Project Scenic Area, stay in Dujiangyan Irrigation Project at night

P1 Qingcheng Mountain

Driving from the hotel to Qingcheng Mountain in the morning, there was a small episode. Because it was the first time to navigate up the mountain, we found we were blocked on the way, and put up a white sign. The general content was that the internal roads were forbidden to enter, and there was a red seal of the scenic spot. Then an aunt came out from the adjacent space and asked us if we were going to the scenic spot. If we were going to park in the space, there was a special bus to take us to the main entrance of the scenic spot. The parking fee was 20 yuan. My first feeling was that Wipe, you're going to be tricked. But based on the principle of "everyone has come", and besides, I may not know the way even if I navigate now, so I gave 20 and added my aunt's WeChat. She told us that there is a small path on the right side of the natural painting that leads back to Feixian Temple. From there, we can return to this parking lot. The locals drove very fast and arrived at the entrance of the scenic area in less than 10 minutes. Then, I swiped my ID card and went in to play. Take a picture at the entrance of the scenic area and walk to the natural picture. This is the middle point where the left and right branches off. There are two options based on time and leg strength. On the right side, there is the Moon City Lake Cableway, which leads directly to Shangqing Palace (one-way cableway 35 round-trip 60, machine scan code to purchase); On the left side, take the mountain road from Tianshi Cave to Chaoyang Cave, then turn onto Jiudao and head up to Qinggong, and finally take the cableway down During the epidemic, only the Shangqing Palace can be reached, and it is not open beyond the mountaintop (small regret). Before returning home, we met an old lady in the scenic area who was carrying a basket to sell fruits. She bought two small watermelons and chatted a few times, wanting to ask if our route up and down the mountain was a trap. After chatting a few times, we learned a piece of information: if we navigate to the parking lot at the main entrance of the mountain gate, it costs 10 yuan. It takes less than 20 minutes to walk from the parking lot to the entrance of the scenic area, or take a shuttle bus. After listening, I felt a little more balanced in my heart. After all, the 20 yuan parking and shuttle bus are not a loss. After chatting, we followed the instructions given by the parking lot aunt and descended the mountain from the small path on the left side of the natural painting. It was a very quiet path, and we had to walk the whole way together After walking for about ten minutes, I felt a bit dazed. Then I saw an iron gate in a scenic area, and a gatekeeper was in the gatehouse. I asked the gatekeeper twice if we could go down the mountain. The gatekeeper glanced at us and didn't say a word, pointing to the iron gate. He suggested that we pull it open ourselves. We continued walking for a while and saw Feixian Temple, which is also a distillery. Then we saw the road and immediately got to know each other. This is where we parked! It takes less than 20 minutes to walk from the natural painting to the parking lot, it's really close! This wave is not only profitable but also profitable. When we arrived at the parking lot, we chatted with our aunt and learned that this place was originally a back door during peak season when there were many people. During peak season, the main entrance was crowded with people, and this was a quiet place to enter and exit. As for why we were not allowed to go on this road, their explanation was "this road was built by us locals, so we can only go by locals". Hmm... ※ Attention, if you also want to climb up the mountain through this backdoor, you can drive to Feixian Temple or Feixian Temple Distillery for navigation. It's really time-saving

P2 Dujiangyan Irrigation Project

I strongly recommend spending 21 yuan on Ctrip to buy an explanation and listen to it. After about 2 hours of following from beginning to end, I found two points after listening in detail. Firstly, the great wisdom and creativity of the Chinese people. Secondly, my vocabulary is limited to words such as "lying in a ditch" and "cow B" in the face of this spectacle

------------------------------------------------------------On the third day--------------------------------------------------------------

Drive from Dujiangyan Irrigation Project to Jiuzhaigou Valley Scenic and Historic Interest Area (about 6 and a half hours), and stay at the mouth of Jiuzhaigou Valley Scenic and Historic Interest Area Valley at night

When you arrive in western Sichuan, you have to mention the 2008 earthquake. The overwhelming news at that time was the "Wenchuan earthquake", but with a little understanding, you will know that Yingxiu Town in Wenchuan County was the center of this earthquake. If you want to commemorate this period of history, you can drive past the earthquake memorial site in Yingxiu.

Drive northward. There is a highway from Dujiangyan Irrigation Project to Wenchuan, but the national highway is northward from Wenchuan. The vehicle passes through the valley. Although this section is a mountain road

There were few ups and downs, and the smooth road suddenly got congested with cars. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a local wedding ceremony. Passing vehicles slowed down, and new houses were hung in red in the valleys below the mountains. People were wearing colorful ethnic costumes, and the sound of gunfire indicated that the auspicious time had arrived. The cars slowly drove away, as if they had also experienced joy.

Following the winding canyon and the turbulent Minjiang River, driving north from Maoxian County will lead to Chuanzhusi Town. From here, you will have to climb a mountain. Chuanzhusi Town has an altitude of 2980 meters, but this is not the highest point. Continuing ahead, you will arrive at a plateau grassland area where there are snow capped mountains, cattle and sheep, grasslands, and the source of the Minjiang River. The source of Minjiang River may have no idea of a stranger, but when the stranger knows about Dujiangyan Irrigation Project, he will have a faint longing for the water source that gave birth to the Land of Abundance. (This section will pass through Songpan County, where there is an ancient city called Songzhou. You can have a meal while passing by.)

After passing through the plateau meadow area, I began to walk down the mountain road to the Jiuzhaigou Valley Scenic and Historic Interest Area Valley Scenic Area. I recommend staying in the Goukou area. This hotel is very good. You can refer to it. It is 1 km away from the entrance of the scenic area and 300 meters away from the exit of the scenic area (the entrance and exit of the scenic area are all shuttle buses. Although the entrance and exit are not at the same point, they are all on the same road with different distances)

------------------------------------------------------------The fourth day--------------------------------------------------------------

Jiuzhaigou Valley Scenic and Historic Interest Area for a day and stay in Songpan County at night

"The beauty of Jiuzhaigou Valley Scenic and Historic Interest Area is the beauty of the four seasons, the beauty of mobility"

Returning from Jiuzhaigou without looking at the water, I won't elaborate on how beautiful this place is. Let's talk about the order of the tour,

The scenic spot is a Y-shaped distribution. You can get on the bus at the gate of the scenic spot and directly send it to the Wuhua Sea on the far right (you can't go up again, it hasn't been recovered after the Jiuzhaigou Valley Scenic and Historic Interest Area earthquake in 17 years). The design of tourist distribution in this scenic spot is unreasonable. The original large scenic spot just pulls everyone to one place. I think it can be spread around in the shape of "Y", which means I don't understand. The middle point of the Y character is called the Nuorilang Service Center. Don't rush to eat now. Take a shuttle bus from here to the left side, to Changhai and Wucaichi, and then take a bus back to the service center from Wucaichi. This will be around 1 noon. Have lunch (it is recommended to prepare self heating food, bread, instant noodles, etc. in advance, and the restaurant has free hot water). In the afternoon, get on the bus from the Nuorilang Service Center and head towards the exit to play along the way. Get off at the scenic spot and walk to take photos. You can return to the original boarding point or walk to the next boarding point at the next scenic spot. It depends on your foot strength. There are signs on the trail indicating the walking distance. Rhinoceros Sea - Shuzheng Waterfall Group - Tiger Sea - Bonsai Beach - Scenic Area Exit (No parking for Reed Sea, no parking for Zharu Temple closed due to epidemic)

It's probably around 4pm when I leave the scenic area, and I'll drive straight to Chuanzhu Temple (about 2 and a half hours). Why not live in Jiuzhai and Chuanzhu Temple Because I have to go back to Chengdu, I will drive more today and run less tomorrow This way, you can sleep a little longer, haha (I don't specify staying at Chuanzhu Temple here, and it takes about 3 hours to get to Songpan County)

------------------------------------------------------------On the fifth day--------------------------------------------------------------

Drive back to Chengdu (about 5 and a half hours), watch giant pandas in the afternoon, eat, drink, and shop in Kuanzhai Lane, and stay in Chengdu

P1's heart was filled with longing, finally seeing it. You said you had seen pandas in your zoo, but you definitely haven't seen so many here in Chengdu. They eat bamboo together, play together, and lazily lie on trees. The cute old man's heart melted (※ Note that the scenic area is not big, there is no need to ride an electric scooter. The merchandise stores inside the scenic area are really expensive. If it weren't for your girlfriend pulling you to act spoiled, don't buy them. There are some aunties outside the scenic area who sell panda toys. Although they are not formal, they are really cheap and can even be discounted. They are really fragrant)

Although P2 Kuanzhai and Jinli are both old bottled new wines, their styles are still different. Kuanzhai is like shopping, while Jinli is like strolling in a garden, one suitable for daytime and the other suitable for nighttime strolling. If you have to ask which food is fun, my personal suggestion is Ha. If you like small things, buy them; if you like big things, just take a look and finish them. Authentic opera is not sung in restaurants, and people who seek peace and quiet will not go to scenic spots to drink tea.

------------------------------------------------------------On the sixth day--------------------------------------------------------------

Take the high-speed rail from Chengdu to Chongqing, recommend G2883 Chengdu East Chongqing West 0850-1008

Pay attention to three things

※ Get the health code in advance

※ Renting a car requires a deposit

※ Check the small details inside the car

Three Gorges Museum+Porcelain Mouth+Hongyadong+Hot Pot

P1's first stop for renting a car is the Three Gorges Museum. Firstly, I enjoy reading about humanities and history. Secondly, I want to set the stage for a future Yangtze River cruise with my wife. The museum is free and requires advance booking. Perhaps due to the recent low number of people, it is also possible to make an appointment on-site. I won't go into too much detail about it. Both my body and mind are on the way.

P2 Ciqikou Ancient Town emphasizes that this is a town and should not be turned into a snack street. There are ancient docks, academies, and temples here. Take a few extra minutes and walk around the streets and alleys. When tired, find a small tavern or cat caf é to rest, listen to music, and play with cats. Isn't it beautiful.

P3 Hongya Cave is one of the landmarks in Chongqing. It was a must visit scenic spot in Chongqing before it became popular. There are 13 floors in the scenic spot. The elevator has only 1-9 floors, and the 1-4 floors are for handicraft goods and food. The 5-8 floors are for hotels, and the 9 floors are also for food. Above 10 floors, it is open air. You can walk from the top floor for about 10 minutes to the Monument to the people's Liberation Pedestrian Street. Hongya Cave must be the most beautiful place to go at night. The best place to take photos is the riverside road opposite the first floor, which is also the most crowded place at night

P4's wife loves spicy food, and in recent years, she has not eaten less hotpot. Comparing Chongqing hotpot with Chengdu hotpot, there are actually slight differences. Let's talk about pots first. Chengdu has a big pot (Mandarin ducks are considered heretical in the local area), while Chongqing has a nine palace style; Hot pot dishes are basically the same; Speaking of hotpot, Chengdu Spicy and Chongqing Spicy both use butter with clear oil, but Chongqing butter has a heavier proportion. Don't ask which restaurant tastes better, it varies from person to person. Open a certain group's app to search for hotpot and find someone with a high review, no problem!

------------------------------------------------------------On the seventh day--------------------------------------------------------------

Drive from Chongqing to Wulong Tiansheng Sanqiao - Return the car to Chongqing in the afternoon - Shuangjiang Night View Cruise

P1 Tiansheng Sanqiao is also the most famous scenic spot because the movies "Curse of the Golden Armor" and "Transformers" were filmed here. At first, I thought that the station where the Golden Armor movie was filmed was temporarily built, but I found out that it was still an ancient building. The divine workmanship of nature, three naturally formed stone bridges, magnificent and spectacular. If you can catch the abundant water season, you can see waterfalls flowing down from the stone bridges, and luckily you can also see rainbows. The entrance of the scenic area is shaped like a pyramid, and it is also a shuttle bus that travels back and forth. It takes about 10 minutes to drive to Tiansheng Sanqiao Scenic Area, and about 30 minutes to get back to the entrance of the scenic area. There is no need to climb the mountain in Tiankeng, there is an elevator that directly takes you to the bottom of the pit. One of the reasons why I really like this scenic spot is that it is very suitable for lazy people like me. You can bring your own food for lunch, or you can eat in the city center of Wulong. As I have to travel back to Chongqing by boat, I brought my own food service area to eat.

P2 city is fine with the car, go to the dock. The weather forecast I checked in advance shows that it will be a sunny day, so the two river cruise ships are scheduled for this day. Boarding at Chaotianmen Port, tickets can be purchased from Hongyadong or the port. Boarding at Pier 4 is also possible. If you have plenty of time, go to Raffles City for a stroll before boarding. Note that if you are on the 8 o'clock boat, it is best to board at 7:20 because the top seats are very tight. If you go early, there will be seats available (ticket 80/person time 50 minutes). The two river cruise ships are Jialing River and Yangtze River, mainly for beautiful night views. There is no need to say more, and there is no explanation on board. Take photos or send short videos.
