#chinatravelitinerary Chengdu is more than just pandas—this city is packed with rich history, literary heritage, and cultural gems. Here’s how to spend two unforgettable days exploring Chengdu’s lesser-known but equally fascinating attractions. 📚 Day 1: Ancient Wonders & Literary Treasures 1. Sanxingdui Museum - Step Into a Lost Civilization Start your morning with a visit to Sanxingdui Museum in Guanghan, about an hour from Chengdu. This archaeological site reveals the mysteries of an ancient civilization over 3,000 years old. Expect to see massive bronze masks, intricate gold artifacts, and unique sculptures that challenge what we know about early Chinese history. It’s a must-visit for history lovers. 2. Zhongshan Library – A Quiet Escape for Book Lovers After returning to the city, head to Zhongshan Library, a hidden gem blending traditional and modern architecture. This peaceful space is perfect for unwinding, and even if you don’t read Chinese, the beautifully designed interiors make it a great stop for reflection and photography. 3. Jinli Ancient Street – Evening Stroll Through the Past As the sun sets, wander through Jinli Ancient Street, one of Chengdu’s most atmospheric old streets. Grab some local snacks, browse traditional handicrafts, and catch a live Sichuan opera performance, complete with the famous face-changing act. The blend of history, food, and entertainment makes this the perfect way to end the day. Day 2: Poetry, Culture & Chengdu’s Laid-back Vibes 1. Du Fu Thatched Cottage - Walk in a Poet’s Footsteps Start your morning at Du Fu Thatched Cottage, the former home of one of China’s greatest poets. Stroll through serene gardens, explore the museum, and immerse yourself in the poetic legacy of Du Fu. The tranquil setting offers a stark contrast to the city's modern bustle. 2. People’s Park – Tea, Mahjong & Local Life No trip to Chengdu is complete without experiencing its tea culture. At People’s Park, sit down at a traditional tea house, sip fragrant jasmine tea, and watch locals play mahjong. If you’re feeling adventurous, try Chengdu’s famous ear-cleaning service—a surprisingly relaxing experience! 3. Sichuan Hotpot – End with a Fiery Feast Wrap up your trip with a classic Sichuan hotpot dinner. Choose your spice level carefully—Chengdu’s hotpot is legendary for its numbing and fiery flavors. A perfect way to experience the bold and vibrant spirit of the city. Top Tips for a Smooth Trip Getting Around: Chengdu’s metro is convenient and easy to navigate. Best Time to Visit: Fall and spring offer comfortable weather for exploring. What to Try: Dan dan noodles, rabbit head, and Sichuan peppercorn-infused dishes. Photography Spot: The bridges and lantern-lit streets of Jinli Ancient Street make for stunning night shots. 📍 Must-Visit Locations: Sanxingdui Museum Zhongshan Library Du Fu Thatched Cottage Jinli Ancient Street People’s Park #chengdu #china #asia

Chengdu, Jiuzhaigou, take shelter from the storm! Take shelter!! Clickbait, random thoughts on Chengdu and Jiuzhaigou, with itinerary and hotel recommendations at the end! Total cost 4000 yuan A child from the plains visiting the plateau for the first time, Jiuzhaigou is really too beautiful~ Any random shot can be used as wallpaper, any filter would be disrespectful to it! Must go again once the high-speed rail is connected From Wuxi to Chengdu Tianfu, actually Tianfu Airport is not as demonized as said online, took the subway Line 18 at 5 pm, arrived at the hotel near Hongxingqiao Subway Station at 6 pm! Great location🉑, right out of the subway station, recommended for budget travelers! Chengdu citywalk is very convenient by subway~ Sanxingdui Museum: Take the high-speed train to Guanghan Station, a 15-minute taxi ride for 20 yuan (seems to be a fixed price) takes about 3 hours to tour, remember to buy tickets in advance for holidays!!!!!! Chengdu Giant Panda Base: Wanted to see the pandas, two hours was too rushed, just followed the crowd to see other pandas, caught a little one sleeping on the job Jiuzhaigou: Took the 10:30 am high-speed train to Zhenjiang Pass, booked a direct bus on Ctrip, arrived at Jiuzhaigou around 4 pm, took a taxi to the hotel (be sure to ask the price in advance, starting price of 15 for 1 kilometer), the hotel is located at the mouth of the valley, within walking distance, there's a McDonald's, Book also, the popular Tomato Yak Pot restaurant is nearby within walking distance, many people recommended it, no queue if you arrive early, but it's not particularly delicious (compared to the restaurant on the second day it's considered good) The next morning, went straight into the scenic area, there are buses inside, followed the route to visit, there are stops to take the bus, walked about 13 kilometers in total, must wear comfortable shoes!! The scenic area has everything it should have (here I want to complain about the Kudi, one cup sold for 35, I have never seen such expensive Kudi, I understand it's expensive in the scenic area~ but this is a bit too much, the neighboring Xuewang is only 1 yuan more expensive hahaha, long live Xuewang! Luckin Coffee is under renovation inside the scenic area, waiting for it to open and outcompete Kudi) For dinner, Himalayan Music Tibetan Restaurant, really avoid this place! Ordered stir-fried wild vegetables, got a pot of stir-fried lettuce leaves... counts as wild vegetables??? On the third day, the return trip was still a direct bus from Ctrip, high-speed train from Zhenjiang Pass to Chengdu East, direct high-speed train from Chengdu East to Tianfu Airport, Chengdu East Station has transfer instructions, follow them for 5 minutes to the next train's ticket gate, Tianfu Airport exit is a 5-minute walk, directly to self-service check-in and baggage drop, go upstairs for security check, very fast! The whole process can be done in 20 minutes!

The Sanxingdui Museum in Guanghan, Sichuan, collects cultural relics from the ancient Shu civilization that have similarities with ancient Egyptian civilization.

Zhuangsheng Xiaoyue Garden Hotel perfectly blends the rustic charm of Western Sichuan dwellings with the exquisite beauty of Jiangnan gardens, creating a secluded retreat of "changing scenery with every step, mountains and forests within reach" in the bustling city. The overall layout subtly incorporates the traditional garden technique of "seeing the grand in the small." The exterior features the Sichuan-style blue tile and white wall design, complemented by Chinese elements such as latticed windows and moon-shaped gates. The central courtyard centers around "Xiaoyue Lake," surrounded by pavilions, waterside structures, and century-old ginkgo trees. The evening lighting creates the artistic effect of "gazing at the moon in the water." The rooms embrace a modern Chinese design that eliminates elaborate carvings, creating a minimalist Zen atmosphere with walnut furniture, plain-colored curtains, and hand-painted floral artwork. Floor-to-ceiling windows bring the private courtyard views indoors. The bathroom spaces are true works of art, with natural bluestone bathtubs paired with locally produced boxwood bath accessories. While bathing, a subtle cypress fragrance drifts through the steamy air. A refined version of "Boiled Cabbage in Clear Broth" perfectly interprets traditional Sichuan cuisine—cabbage hearts carved into hibiscus shapes float in chicken broth as clear as tea. The moment it touches your palate, the umami flavor explodes like fireworks. The afternoon tea offers a creative twist by incorporating Sanxingdui bronze patterns into the dessert designs, beautifully blending cultural elements with delicious flavors. The SPA center has created the unique "Ancient Shu Therapy," combining concepts from "The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Medicine" with Qiang ethnic herbal formulas. The hotel's library houses reproductions of Qing Dynasty engravings from the Deyang Confucian Temple, preserving the warmth of ink and paper in this digital age. Located on Deyang's cultural axis, the hotel is just a 15-minute walk from Donghu Mountain Park, known as the "Grand View Garden of the Southwest." A 20-minute drive north takes you to the mysterious Sanxingdui in Guanghan, where ancient bronze masks create a fascinating dialogue with the hotel's modern design.

Say goodbye to the hassle of waking up early and enjoy a smooth trip to Sanxingdui! 🎈 🚂 Starting from Chengdu, take a direct train to Guanghan North, then grab a Didi ride. In less than 20 minutes and for just about 20 yuan, you'll arrive effortlessly. If you're not a morning person, opt for the 10:14 AM train and start your journey at a leisurely pace, no early wake-ups required. 🚌 Not a fan of crowded buses? No worries! While the direct bus from Chunxi Road is convenient, I chose a more relaxed way to travel. 🎟️ Ticket Tips: Tickets are 72 yuan each. Simply book them five days in advance via the Sanxingdui mini-program. If you're interested in the night session, remember to grab tickets after 5 PM on the same day. 🕒 Suggested Itinerary: - If there's no night session, get a morning ticket. Arrive around 10 AM and start exploring from Hall 1. Fewer crowds and stunning views make for perfect photo opportunities! Before noon, head back to the first-floor entrance to join a guided tour. A small group tour for 400 yuan is absolutely worth it—the guide is patient, detailed, and answers all your questions, offering a much better experience than large group tours. - If there's a night session, choose an afternoon ticket and join the 5 PM guided tour. Plan your return with a high-speed train after 8 PM for a relaxed schedule. 🍽️ In the afternoon, take a break for a meal to recharge before continuing your exploration. Don't forget to pick up some cultural and creative products as souvenirs. There's a gift shop to the left of the museum exit, and no long lines to worry about. 🌙 Don't miss the night session either. The process is similar, but Sanxingdui at night has a unique charm. 🚫 Lastly, avoid relying on those electronic guides—they're fragmented, hard to follow, and often glitchy. A live guide is far more reliable and engaging.

Stepping into Zhuangsheng Xiaoyue Garden Hotel feels like entering a Chinese ink painting. Pavilions and buildings stand by the water, with rockeries, winding paths, and beautiful scenery at every turn. Guest rooms are hidden among flowers and trees, and when you open the window, you'll see a clear pond with birds singing in your ears. In the afternoon, enjoy tea under the corridor while watching koi fish swim leisurely, as time seems to slow down. The perfect integration of garden and hotel makes this an ideal getaway spot for city dwellers seeking a peaceful retreat! Zhuangsheng Xiaoyue Garden Hotel

Bring along both kids and adults for a five-day trip to Chengdu, exploring bustling urban areas, relaxing landscapes, world-famous attractions, historical discoveries, cultural heritage, and unique local cuisine, all while experiencing the vibrant life of the city. The full theatrical performance is a program loved by both kids and adults, with the face-changing act being the most anticipated highlight. A visit to Jiuzhaigou to admire its world-class scenery will leave you in awe of nature's wonders. Sanxingdui is a remarkable historical site and a must-visit museum for those exploring Chinese culture!

🌿【Location and First Impression: Poetic Retreat at the Foot of Min Mountain】 The hotel is nestled in the core area of Min Mountain Scenic Area, about a 40-minute drive from downtown. The journey itself is therapeutic, with lush mountain scenery along the way. Entering the lobby, you're greeted by an 8-meter-high space adorned with wooden beams and ink-wash screens. The aroma of tea and pine wood welcomes you, while the receptionist offers warm monk fruit tea, instantly relieving travel fatigue. My favorite spot is the "Mountain View Terrace" outside the lobby. In the evening, sitting in a rattan chair watching mist drift over the blue-gray tiles, with Min Mountain's main peak faintly visible in the twilight, feels like being inside a moving landscape painting. 🛏️【Room Experience: Bringing Nature Indoors】 The "Mountain View Terrace Room" exceeded all expectations! The 45㎡ space features warm brown tones with a hand-painted Min Mountain snow scene as the headboard backdrop. Drawing back the sheer curtains reveals 270° panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows—in the morning, you can watch squirrels jumping on the camphor trees outside; at night, the double-layered soundproof glass keeps out the mountain winds and forest sounds, while the latex mattress and goose down comforter provide sleep quality comparable to home. The bathroom has separate wet and dry areas, smart toilet, constant-temperature shower, and most uniquely, a "humidity regulator" next to the vanity mirror, thoughtfully addressing the dry highland climate. 🍴【Min Mountain Cuisine: Local Flavors Meet Refinement】 Breakfast is served in the "Cloud Pavilion Restaurant" on the lower level. The beef rice noodles made in the open kitchen are exceptional—the broth is simmered with beef bones for 6 hours, topped with local coriander and chili oil, creating a spicy flavor that hits the soul. For dinner, we tried the Chinese restaurant's "Min Mountain Four Treasures"—truffle scrambled eggs with free-range chicken, cordyceps flower stewed with free-range chicken, walnut flower salad, and wild mushroom dumplings. Most ingredients come from nearby farmers, ensuring maximum freshness. For drinks, don't miss the "Starry Sky Bar" on the rooftop. Order the signature "Min Mountain Snow Cap" cocktail and sit in the outdoor booth watching the Milky Way stretch across the sky—the ambiance is perfect. 👥【Service Details: Warm Mountain-Style Hospitality】 From the front desk to the housekeeping staff, every employee greets you with a genuine smile, creating a warm atmosphere. When they learned about our hiking plans for the next day, the housekeeping staff quietly left waterproof shoe covers and energy bars in our closet. Returning to our room in the evening, we found warm mugwort eye masks and sleep-inducing aromatherapy by the bedside—these "silent gestures of care" speak louder than any slogan. At checkout, we received a parting gift—handmade Min Mountain snow chrysanthemum tea bags with a subtle medicinal fragrance that instantly evoked memories of our journey.

This time we drove 🚙 from Chongqing to Guanghan to see the mysterious Sanxingdui Museum, and thanks to my sister, we found this hotel that beautifully combines traditional Chinese style with modern elements. It's only 3 kilometers from Sanxingdui. The hotel has a lake with many koi fish 🐠, and each room can get two free bags of fish food. Upon entering, you'll see traditional Chinese clothing 💐 available for photo opportunities, and they also offer free traditional-style photoshoots. The entire hotel has an antique charm, even the door latches are wooden, giving it a distinctive character. There's a huge café ☕, with an extremely elegant atmosphere. There's also an enormous fitness center spanning several floors. The bottom floor has a temperature-controlled swimming pool with crystal clear water; the upper floors ☝️ have facilities for weightlifting, Pilates, badminton, archery, and more. It's truly massive.

This hotel is hidden next to Sanxingdui, with the charm of a Jiangnan garden. White walls and dark tiles sit beside the lake, small bridges and flowing water are surrounded by greenery. Walking inside feels like stepping into a Chinese ink painting. I heard that CCTV variety shows have filmed here, and it's even the same check-in spot as Nigemaiti. My room had a poetic name inspired by the "Twelve Time Periods." The room was amazing, with convenient smart home features and an extravagant four-section bathroom stocked with Fragonard toiletries. I chose a garden room with a private hot spring bath in an independent courtyard, complete with a balcony—incredibly peaceful and cozy. The amenities here are excellent too. In the morning, I enjoyed Guanghan gold thread noodles, relaxed at the café in the afternoon, took photos in traditional Han clothing, soaked in the private hot spring in the evening, and tried the fusion Sichuan cuisine at the Chinese restaurant. You can also work out at the gym or swim in the temperature-controlled pool. The butler service was especially thoughtful, helping me book Sanxingdui tickets, planning my itinerary, and even preparing face masks for me.

Located on the southern bank of the Duck River in the northwest of Guanghan City, Chengdu Plain, lies a world-renowned archaeological site—Sanxingdui. This enigmatic site seems like a gateway to a time tunnel, bringing the dazzling ancient Shu civilization from thousands of years ago to the present, with countless mysteries waiting to be unraveled. Treasures Beyond Time: Artistic Wonders Across Eras The artifacts unearthed at Sanxingdui are nothing short of extraordinary. Their unique designs and exquisite craftsmanship leave people in awe. The 2.62-meter-tall bronze standing figure, adorned in elaborate attire and wearing a high crown, holds its hands in a dramatic circular gesture, as if wielding mysterious powers of the universe. Its solemn and majestic demeanor sparks imagination about the religious beliefs and social structure of the ancient Shu civilization. Then there are the bizarre bronze masks with oversized ears and protruding eyes, resembling beings from another world. These masks might have played significant roles in ritual ceremonies, symbolizing the ancient Shu people's imagination of deities or reverence for ancestors. Additionally, the finely crafted jade artifacts and luxurious gold items, such as intricately carved jade tablets and opulent gold scepters, showcase the advanced craftsmanship and unique aesthetic sensibilities of the ancient Shu civilization. Tracing Origins: Decoding the Lost Secrets of Ancient Shu The discovery of Sanxingdui provides crucial clues for exploring the origins and development of the ancient Shu civilization. Archaeological studies suggest that the ancient Shu civilization was a highly developed society that evolved independently while maintaining exchanges with external cultures. However, its sudden emergence and mysterious disappearance remain unsolved puzzles. The artifacts unearthed here exhibit similarities with the Central Plains civilization while retaining distinct characteristics, indicating that the ancient Shu civilization absorbed elements from surrounding cultures while preserving its individuality. Where did the ancient Shu people come from? Why did they create such a unique civilization? And what led to its decline? These questions are like cryptic codes, drawing countless archaeologists and history enthusiasts to delve deeper. Cultural Legacy: Echoes of an Ancient Civilization in Modern Times The ancient Shu civilization represented by Sanxingdui is not only a historical treasure but also a source of inspiration for modern cultural inheritance and innovation. Today, the Sanxingdui Museum serves as a vital window showcasing the charm of the ancient Shu civilization, attracting visitors from around the globe. Through exhibitions, multimedia interactions, and other formats, people can experience the profoundness of this ancient culture up close. Moreover, elements of Sanxingdui have been widely integrated into modern cultural and creative industries. From cultural products designed based on Sanxingdui artifacts to literature, films, and games inspired by the ancient Shu civilization, these creations breathe new life into the ancient culture in contemporary society. This blend of tradition and innovation not only raises awareness and appreciation for Sanxingdui but also contributes to the preservation and promotion of outstanding Chinese cultural heritage.

Although it takes over an hour by car from Chengdu, you can reach Guanghan North Station in just about 20 minutes by high-speed train. From the station, there is a direct city bus to the Sanxingdui Museum, making the journey surprisingly convenient despite the distance. Since tickets might sell out on the day of the visit, I booked the adult admission ticket for 72 yuan via WeChat five days in advance. As expected, the tickets were indeed sold out. The ancient artifacts exuded a truly unique and mysterious atmosphere. I thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to witness a distinctive culture that I had never seen in any other region before.

All I wanted to do was relax and soak in a private hot spring over the weekend, so I chose Zhuang Sheng Xiaoyue, which isn't far from Chengdu, and I have to say the experience was amazing. As soon as I entered the hotel, I was drawn in by the scenery before me. The trees on both sides of the road were lush and green, and their leaves sparkled in the sunlight. When the wind blew, they rustled, which was especially refreshing. The cherry trees were not far away, covered in pink blossoms, crowded together, blooming vibrantly. From time to time, petals fluttered down and landed on the ground. It felt like any shot I took could be used as wallpaper. There were also large patches of small purple flowers, densely packed, with many butterflies flying over them. I even chased them around to take a few photos. The hotel's pond was also interesting. The koi carp inside were plump and large, red, white, and black, swimming around in the water. I asked the front desk for some fish food to feed them, and they all came over, scrambling for it. There was also a red maple tree by the pond, its leaves bright red, which looked beautiful with the surrounding greenery. Walking around the hotel, listening to the birds singing, and smelling the flowers, I felt completely relaxed. The pressure from work and the fatigue from traveling disappeared all at once. This trip to Zhuang Sheng Xiaoyue was really worth it. I felt like I had been embraced by nature!

We came for the private hot spring in the courtyard, but after checking in, we realized how worthwhile this trip was! As soon as we entered the hotel, we were attracted by the plum blossom trees in the courtyard. The flowers on the branches were in full bloom, which was especially beautiful. In the center of the hotel is a lake with schools of koi. Sprinkle some fish food, and you will immediately see the spectacular scene of the fish exploding! Because it is close to Sanxingdui, the latte art of the hotel's afternoon tea is actually in the shape of a bronze mask, and the taste is also good! The dishes in the hotel's Chinese restaurant are very distinctive. The boiled catfish with bamboo shoots is a dish that both spicy and non-spicy food lovers will enjoy! The private hot spring in the courtyard did not disappoint me. The tranquil and natural environment is super relaxing. If I didn't have to work, I could really stay here forever. Useful tips: 📍 1 hr drive from Chengdu / 18 min by train, high-speed train directly to Guanghan North 🍽 Food recommendation: The Dui Dui afternoon tea is great for taking photos, but you have to be quick, the latte art melts easily~

With its white walls, black tiles, small bridges, flowing water, and rockeries, every detail showcases the exquisite elegance of a Chinese garden. This is the Zhuang Sheng Xiao Yue Garden Hotel in Deyang, a spiritual retreat that I can't help but return to. The design of Zhuang Sheng Xiao Yue Garden Hotel is inspired by the gardens of southern China, perfectly blending the essence of traditional Chinese architecture with modern minimalist style. Strolling through it, you feel as if you are in a traditional Chinese painting, with a new view at every step, creating an ever-changing landscape that is a feast for the eyes. I stayed in the hotel's unique garden view room, which was spacious and bright, with antique furniture and modern smart facilities complementing each other perfectly. Opening the French windows, you can step into a private courtyard, where lush greenery and fragrant flowers fill the air, making you feel relaxed and happy. The bedding in the room is soft and comfortable, and the bathroom facilities are complete, with thoughtful details everywhere. The hotel's restaurant serves exquisite Sichuan and Cantonese cuisine, with fresh ingredients and authentic flavors. I especially liked the signature dish "Dongpo Pork Knuckle", which is rich but not greasy, melts in your mouth, and leaves you with endless aftertaste. Breakfast is a buffet, with a wide variety of Chinese and Western options to meet the needs of different guests. The hotel has recreational facilities such as a gym, swimming pool, and spa to meet the different needs of guests. Every day, I would go to the gym for a while, and then swim in the pool to relax. The hotel is located in the center of Deyang, with convenient transportation and complete commercial facilities nearby. You can walk to Deyang Confucian Temple, Stone Carving Park and other attractions to experience the profound historical and cultural heritage of Deyang.

It's so quiet! I didn't expect to find a hotel like this in the city center. Upon entering, there is an upward-sloping corridor that leads to the hotel accommodation area. All the rooms surround a lake, and many flowers, plants, and trees are planted by the lake and outside the rooms. Therefore, the hotel is very quiet, the air is fresh, and it is perfect for a weekend getaway! The hotel service is also excellent. The staff is very friendly and will arrange anything you need immediately when you call. In addition, the hotel also has a restaurant that serves both Chinese and Western food. The crabapple and cherry blossoms at the hotel are in full bloom, making it a great place to take pictures. But the most attractive thing for me is the lake, which is full of goldfish, and there are birds on the eaves waiting to pounce on them. I can spend an afternoon just feeding the fish, watching the birds, and basking in the sun.

The environment is serene and full of Chinese charm. Stepping into the hotel feels like traveling through time! Pavilions, bridges, flowing water, and private hot spring courtyards create the feeling of being in another world~ Time really flies here! The rooms are very clean. The combination of wood and marble is complemented by smart devices, making your stay very convenient. The mini-bar and bathtub are very practical (but I decisively chose the private hot spring pool. Soaking in the bath while watching the stars is so pleasant~) This time, I also made my own pressed flower fan (the hotel has the materials, just let them know in advance and they will prepare them). Then, I changed into ready-made Hanfu, which is definitely a great tool for taking photos! Whether by the lake or in the courtyard, the atmosphere is great~ It doesn't matter if you don't know how to pose, the hotel's female photographer is very good at guiding you~ Although there aren't many breakfast options, the taste is really amazing! I finished the shredded chicken noodles in two bites. The fresh, fragrant, and smooth taste is really something~ In addition, the Western food is also good, and it's all cooked on the spot by the chef! If you have time, be sure to try the coffee shop. Their own roasted beans and special coffee are really unique, and no less impressive than those in big cities, with a very high value for money!! There is also Sanxingdui-themed coffee, which is super eye-catching!!!
