Where can solo travelers go for May Day holiday? I'm obsessed with these 3 amazing cities!

💥Help! I don't want to be a corporate slave this May Day! This worker unilaterally declares: Workstation = Jail! Keyboard = Shackles! Instead of gathering dust in the office, it's better to explore these 3 amazing cities alone—— 🚄2 hours by high-speed rail, with plenty of delicious food and beautiful scenery, and you might even meet like-minded friends! Take this guide, you're welcome. I'm escaping first! 📍 Chongqing → Chengdu | Sichuan-Chongqing Hot Pot Combo, Double the Happiness! 🚄Transportation: 1 hour 15 minutes (Chongqing West → Chengdu East) 🍜Must-eats: - Chongqing Nine Grid Hot Pot (with ice glutinous rice balls to cool down) - Chengdu Egg Cakes (cream and pork floss flavor, yyds!) - Shuangliu Old Ma Rabbit Head (spicy flavor will blow your mind) 📸Photo Spots: - Chongqing Hongyadong Night View (Spirited Away vibes) - Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding (Hugging Hua Hua's leg is super healing) - Kuanzhai Alley (perfect for Hanfu photos with gray tiles and green bricks) 👣Itinerary: Day 1: Jiefangbei → Bayi Food Street → Hongyadong Night View Day 2: Chengdu Chunxi Road → IFS Climbing Panda → Jinli Ancient Street 💡Tips: - Chongqing has many slopes, wear non-slip shoes! - Chengdu has many tea houses, covered bowl tea with ear cleaning is super relaxing~ 📍 Changsha → Yueyang | Slurp Noodles + See the Lake, Double the Fun! 🚄Transportation: 35 minutes (Changsha South → Yueyang East) 🍜Must-eats: - Changsha Black Classic Stinky Tofu (crispy outside, tender inside) - Yueyang Dongting Lake Chopped Chili Fish Head (fresh and spicy) - Bianhe Street Sugar Oil Baba (glutinous rice lovers rejoice) 📸Photo Spots: - Changsha Orange Isle (check in at Chairman Mao's statue) - Yueyang Yueyang Tower (climb the tower and overlook Dongting Lake) - Junshan Island (take artistic photos in the silver needle tea garden) 👣Itinerary: Day 1: Changsha Pozi Street → Yuelu Mountain → Aiwan Pavilion Day 2: Yueyang Bianhe Street → Yueyang Tower → Junshan Island Boat Tour 💡Tips: - Yueyang barbecue is amazing!
