Introduction to Chongqing and Chengdu five-day tour

Chongqing and Chengdu are the two largest cities in the western region, with rich history and humanistic sentiments. Natural beauty is also abundant here. The food, beauties, and beautiful scenery are all world-famous places, and they are places worth visiting. Here is a detailed strategy for you.

During the trip, I marveled at the magical rivers and lakes in Chongqing, lingered in the lazy and leisurely Chengdu, felt the charm of the "3D Magic City", enjoyed the leisure and comfort of the "Land of Abundance", and was fascinated by the Bashu culture. Impressed by the profound background. When the journey is over, I will return to reality again. You will never be forgotten in the arena, and the memory engraved in the deepest part of your heart will not end with the end of the journey. So, I had a feeling that I wanted to treasure that memory.

Because a person falls in love with a city. In the summer of 2008, he fell in love with the sunny and gentle Chongqing boy Sean Xiao because of the movie "Chen Qing Ling". I was very curious about what kind of city raised this person. Smart boy. A plane ticket started this journey to the south.

DAY1: Rizhao-Chongqing, stay at Chongqing Lily Church Hotel, and travel around Hongya Cave

Since the author landed at 6pm, the first night’s itinerary is mainly about food and accommodation Question, sightseeing is mainly about enjoying the night view of the Magic City. Let's put it this way, the host was very satisfied with the accommodation and was deeply affected by the atmosphere of the church.

Note: Since the author lives in a city with smooth roads, the first feeling he felt when he came to Shanghai was that he was at a loss as to what to do. The navigation was lost and the author was confused. Therefore, it is recommended that friends who are planning to go on a road trip give up their thoughts as soon as possible.

DAY2: A day of rampage: fun at Ciqikou, the Yangtze River Cableway, a tree, and Hongya Cave

Get up in the morning, drink steaming red oil all night, and start the day's journey with a happy mood.

“A stone road, a thousand-year-old porcelain mouth”, this is the epitome of “Old Chongqing”. Step on the green stones, taste local specialties, or walk into a creative shop to pick out exquisite hand calligraphy. The author chose to enter a teahouse, enjoy a performance with local characteristics, taste a pot of green tea, and taste a bhajan.

Note: Theater tickets range from 10 to 20 yuan. We ordered two cups of tea and one cup of bhajan, totaling ***80 yuan.

Although the poster who grew up by the sea is used to seeing the beauty of the sea, he has never experienced the impact of the rolling river. Therefore, riding the Yangtze River Cableway through the riverside buildings is an inevitable experience during my trip to Chongqing. The night view of the Yangtze River Cableway has long been famous. If you want to enjoy the night view and feel the rolling river during the day, you can buy a round-trip ticket.

Note: The cableway is divided into two stations, north and south. If you want to enjoy the night view and the feeling of the rolling river during the day, you have already bought a round-trip ticket (Ctrip bought it one day in advance for 26 yuan). Don’t forget to follow the Yangtze River Cableway’s official WeChat account on WeChat, otherwise there may be a long queue.

Yangtze River Cableway

It is said that the Yikeshu Scenic Area on the south bank is the best place to see the night view of Chongqing. The author went without hesitation. In fact, the road on the south bank can also be enjoyed. Although the night view is beautiful, it is really cold at high altitudes in winter. The night view is beautiful, but it's really cold. The original poster didn't take any photos.

Note: The ticket to One Tree Scenic Area is 15 yuan, and there is no other scenery except the observation deck. The lights turn on at 7 o'clock in winter, so it is recommended not to go too early.

As a real-life version of Qianxun Tang Restaurant, the beauty of Hongya Cave is undeniable. One story at a time, it feels like you are living in a fairy tale world. I just want to get drunk and have my dreams come true, not wake up. Backed by green mountains and facing the river, the Diaojiaolou exudes a unique charm. It was so beautiful that it made me shabby, so I just took the picture.

Note: Hong Yadong is free. You can enter directly by swiping your ID card, and you can have a panoramic view across the road. Of course, if you are interested, you can take a cruise to Liangjiang.

Chongqing’s food is very unique. Chongqing’s noodles and Chongqing’s hotpot are of course a must-try.

The poster and his friends had two hot pot dishes, including the Jiugongge Xiaoyu Hot Pot, which is a specialty in the Hutong, and the Da Dao Yao Slice from chain brother Zhou.

DAY3: Take a stroll in Chongqing and check in at Liziba Light Rail Station

Walking in Chongqing is more like climbing than walking. There is really no straight road on the mountain road, and the mountain road is layered. Each level presents a different world with a sense of surprise. Walking in the alley, I watched the locals playing mahjong on the street, envied their comfortable life, and walked into a small shop to taste the local rice noodles.

Of course, blowing up TikTok’s Liziba light rail is a necessary blow. It is a trinity, with shops on the ground floor, residents on the upper floors, and a light rail station in the middle. Really weird. Getting off Line 2 at Liziba Station and finding yourself on the 6th floor was also a different experience.

Chengdu is a city that you don’t want to leave when you come here. I fell in love with this city because of a trip, I like its leisure, like its charm, like It's gentle and even likes the spicy aroma in the streets.

DAY4: Chongqing-Chengdu, night tour in Jinli, Su Meng Journey Youth Hostel

Every trip is always accompanied by a long road of acquaintance. Although the poster has made advance plans for the train trip from Chongqing to Chengdu, he can leave whenever he wants without setting a time limit for himself. But when he arrived at the station, he found that the tickets had been sold out, causing him to spend an afternoon at Chongqing North Railway Station. When he set foot on Chengdu, it was already after eight o'clock in the evening. Therefore, we can only choose Jinli, which is closer to the youth hostel, to solve the problem of hunger.

Note: You can take the high-speed rail to Chongqing. Prices range from 96 to 154 yuan, and the time is within two hours.

Note: Admission to the museum is free, bring your ID card, and it is open until 9 p.m.

DYA5: The beauty of Dujiangyan and its characteristic wide and narrow alleys

The beauty of Dujiangyan includes both the magnificence of nature and the beauty of human culture. For the original poster, the natural beauty can really be said "wow, wow, wow", while for the charm of history, one can only say "ah, ah, ah". Friends who are interested should feel it for themselves. Not much to say, above.

DAY6: Cycling in Chengdu, Chahui Jinli, Chengdu-Jinan.

When you come to Chengdu, you cannot avoid walking on the streets of Chengdu, riding a bicycle, traveling through a strange city, breathing the different air, and admiring the different places passing by. Same scenery. This is always the most enjoyable part of the trip. After I was tired, I returned to Jinli, ordered a pot, watched the changes in my face, and started my journey home.
