[Chengdu Slow Life] 3 days 2 nights to play around the city of bus! Watch pandas while eating hot pot

Text: Just ended my trip to Chengdu, this lazy essential strategy to share with you! Chengdu is really a city you don’t want to leave once you’ve come, with food, beautiful scenery, slow life, everything! 📅 Itinerary Day1: Classic check-in in the city Morning: 📍Chunxi Road + Taikoo Li ▶ Stroll around fashion landmarks and check in with IFS wall-climbing pandas (queue for photos!) ▶ Pacific Place Bookstore Arts Photography📸 Afternoon: 📍Wide and narrow alley ▶ Qing Dynasty ancient alley with green and black brick tiles, it is recommended to buy "three big cannons" sugar and oil fruit, but the main street prices are high, walk into some cheaper! Evening: 📍Shu Jiuxiang Hot Pot (local recommendation!) ▶ Order slightly spicy + sesame oil plate, to relieve spicy must-have soy milk! Day2: Panda Base + Cultural Experience Morning: 📍Chengdu Giant Panda Breeding Base (opens at 7:30!) ▶ Be sure to go early! To see the flowers 🐼 have to queue, sightseeing car 10 dollars / person to save some energy. Afternoon: 📍Wuhou Temple + Jinli ▶ Wu Hou Temple red wall bamboo shadow strong out video, Jin Li night view beautiful but snacks general, it is recommended to walk without buying ~ Evening: 📍Nine Eyes Bridge Bar Street ▶ The night view of Anshun Corridor Bridge is amazing, listening to "Chengdu" in the tavern is super feeling! Day3: Day Trip to the Surroundings (Choose 1) Option A: 📍Dujiangyan + Qingcheng Mountain ▶ HSR Saipu Station → Lidui Park (30 minutes), worship the water Dujiangyan, ask the front mountain of Qingcheng ⛰ Option B: 📍Samsung Heap Museum ▶ Mysterious ancient Shu civilization, the new museum is very large, it is recommended to follow the explanation (Jicheng can book a day tour) 🍜 Food Red List ✅ Hot pot: Shu Jiu Xiang, Wu Li Guan (get tickets in advance!) ✅ Snacks: Construction Road (weekly sign potatoes, Fu Qiang ribs), bell dumplings, sweet water noodles ✅ Sichuan cuisine: Gourmet Restaurant (Spicy Chicken Must Order), Chan Ma Po Tofu ⚠ Lightning protection: the "old brands" at the entrance of the scenic spot are mostly fake! 🚗 Transportation Tips Tianfu Airport → City: Metro Line 18 (1.5h) or Airport Bus In the city: The subway is super convenient (take the "Tianfu Tong" scan code from Alipay) Bike sharing + walking is suitable for short distances, taking a taxi is cheap but congested during rush hour at night! 🏨 Accommodation recommendations Value for money: B&Bs around Chunxi Road/Kuanzhai Alley ($150-300) High-end experience: Boshe Hotel (inside Taikoo Li), Huanhua School Hotel (near Caotang) 💡Tips 1⃣ Chengdu weather changeable, with cover! 2⃣ Can not eat spicy must say "slightly spicy", eat hot pot order oil plate more stomach ~ 3⃣ Ear piercing choose regular shops (wide and narrow alley 30 dollars / time to be careful!) Summary: Chengdu is suitable for slow play! 3 days is not enough, next time I will unlock Leshan Emeishan again! ❤
