Chengdu 4-day tour guide and the best route map for independent travel in Chengdu 4-day tour

Chengdu is a tourist city with great charm and characteristics, and it is also a favorite destination for many travelers. Everyone hopes to have a wonderful travel experience here and seek more beautiful memories and nostalgia. Here is a detailed strategy for you.

Chengdu is a paradise for foodies. You can visit Chengdu’s historical sites and experience the local customs. It took off from Taiyuan at 22:25 on the evening of the 2nd and arrived in Chengdu at 00:50 the next day (the 3rd). I also took an hour's bus ride from Shuangliu Airport to Zhixuan Holiday Hotel at North Railway Station and stayed there. So it took me 4 and a half days in total, not including the round trip. Round trip travel is not included in the tour.

D1 Chengdu City Tour (Kuanzhai Alley People’s Park Jinli Ancient Street)

Kuanzhai Alley: You can get up later in the morning. Take the subway to Kuanzhai Alley at 9:30. In fact, it is just two alleys, similar to Datong Antique Street. There are snacks such as Tang Sanpao and Mapo Tofu. If I'm full, I don't have to find another place to eat lunch. The editor ate a lot, went to a nearby restaurant to eat, and then took the subway to People's Park.

People’s Park: Speaking of drinking tea, many old Chengdu people like to drink a big bowl of tea in People’s Park. Big bowls of tea are a specialty of Chengdu. In the afternoon, you can order a bowl of tea and buy some snacks at the tea garden, and the price is not expensive. Then there's ear picking. Personally, I feel that picking my ears hurts a bit, and it’s not as cheap as Kuanzhai Alley. Let's do a comparison. Let's chat and drink tea to relieve the fatigue of the journey. If you are not tired or don’t like drinking tea, you can go to other attractions and then go around Jinli Ancient Street.

Jingu Street: Speaking of Jinli’s reputation in Chengdu, it is not weak, and there are many snacks. It’s best to come to Jinli around 7pm. You can watch its beautiful night view, eat snacks and take photos. Jingu Street is not far from Wuhou Temple. If you are interested, you can go and have a look. Personally, I think Wuhou Temple is not as good as Du Fu Thatched Cottage. Then back to the hotel, there is a snack street in Wanda near the hotel, with a lot of delicious food.

D2 Chengdu City Tour (Jiuyan Bridge, Chunxi Road, Du Fu Thatched Cottage)

Du Fu Thatched Cottage: After getting up in the morning and having breakfast, take the subway to Du Fu Thatched Cottage. The editor highly recommends Du Fu Thatched Cottage, especially on rainy days. The rain in Chengdu is always pouring, and the rainy Du Fu Thatched Cottage is even more poetic. There are ancient cultural relics and famous handwritings in the scenic area. It is the creation place of Du Fu's "Song of Thatched Cottage Broken by the Autumn Wind".

The attitude of the tour guide at the ticket booth was quite bad. Although there is an electronic commentary priced at 10 yuan per person, 150 manual commentary is recommended. After requesting electronic explanation, you need to pay 100 cash per person. Note it's cash. At that time, the editor had 9 children. Because there was not that much cash to ask for, the staff ignored me after the WeChat payment failed.

After visiting the thatched cottage all morning, it’s time to have lunch. After dinner, I took the subway to Chunxi Road.

Chunxi Road: Chunxi Road is a broad term. He is a representative of the business circle. To put it bluntly, they are shopping malls such as Wangfujing and Parkson. Go for a walk, take photos with ifs, the check-in spot in "Internet Celebrity", and buy some things you need to bring to your friends. If you don’t like shopping and want to see other attractions in Chengdu, you can also take this project.

After dinner, if you want to go out and see the night view of Chengdu, Jiuyan Bridge is a good place.

Jiuyan Bridge: The night view of Jiuyan Bridge is also good. There are many small bars nearby. You can go in with family and friends to experience it and take pictures of the bridge.

D3 Tour around Chengdu (Dujiangyan, the back mountain of Qingcheng)

Qingcheng Mountain: a must-see when visiting Chengdu. Let’s talk about how to get there. First, take the subway to Xipu Station. After leaving the station, you can buy a train ticket to Qingcheng Mountain for 10 yuan. There is a direct bus to Qingcheng Mountain, and you can buy a round-trip ticket. This author doesn't like temples and sightseeing, so he chose the mountains behind Qingcheng. The scenery of the back mountain is slightly better than that of the front mountain, and there are ancient towns.

Choose the front and rear mountains according to your own preferences. If you suddenly change your mind and want to go to the back mountain after arriving at the front mountain scenic spot, you can ask four people to take a taxi to the back mountain. On average, if you rent for 80 yuan, each person can get 70. Don’t panic if you don’t get a return ticket after your tour. It’s not too expensive to take a local private car directly to the moving station in Tai’an Ancient Town. The ticket in front is 75 yuan

When you get to the train station, you can buy a ticket to Dujiangyan, or you can go back to the city directly. Because it is a line, the author went to Dujiangyan. There are attractions in the bus area that costs 2 yuan at the departure station.

Dujiangyan: a famous water conservancy project. Dujiangyan contracts 70% of Chengdu's various types of water, such as irrigation water and food water. Dujiangyan is the crystallization of ancient Chinese wisdom. The author hired a tour guide after entering, and he will tell you about the bottle mouth and fish mouth. If he wants to hear a story, he usually won't tell you how Li Bing led his people to build Dujiangyan, so he thinks there is little point in hiring a tour guide. It is better to download a detailed explanation of Dujiangyan from Baidu. When we go back, we always return to the city the same way we came.

D4 Chengdu City Tour (Chengdu Giant Panda Breeding Research Base Jinjiang Theater)

Chengdu Giant Panda Research Base: The author has come to a highly recommended place again. This place is recommended to go from Monday to Friday. There are few people, so you have to go early. At around 7 o'clock, you take the DD bus from Zhixuan Holiday Hotel and it takes more than 20 minutes to arrive at the ticket office of the scenic spot. From 7 to 10 o'clock, giant pandas may spend some time sleeping.

Luckily, you can see some silly and cute little guys fighting with each other. If you are lucky, you can see the keepers feeding "suck"

Travel Tips

After entering the scenic spot, you can leave if you feel you are in good health. If you feel healthy, you can queue up on the sightseeing bus. Don’t ask about Swan Lake or the Red Panda House first. Please go directly to the delivery room. Someone asked you why you didn’t go to the Sun Delivery Room first? The Taiyang delivery room is far away from the neighbors, and the quality of the management and security personnel lining up is not high. The warning signs clearly read "No Noise" and shouted to tourists. Bad attitude. The security guards in the confinement delivery room are uncivilized and set an example. I like.

The content of the sun delivery room is the same as that of the moon delivery room. After visiting the confinement room, go directly to Villa No. 2, where you may see pandas playing. Don’t go to Villa No. 1 after visiting it, because it is under construction. During this time, we went to several other giant panda villas, such as Villa No. 14, and then visited the sub-adult giant panda area. After visiting these, go to areas such as Swan Lake and Red Panda. Plan the tour route and prioritize. It is recommended not to buy giant panda souvenirs in scenic spots. Take photos of things you like and go to TB to see if they are too cheap.

After coming back from lunch, you can go to Jinjiang Theater first.

Jinjiang Theater: A good place to watch Face Changing. I’ve eaten Chengdu hot pot, seen giant pandas, and watched Sichuan Opera Face Changing. Order a big bowl of tea at this place and watch the Sichuan opera face-changing.

D5 Chengdu City Tour (Jinsha Ruins Museum)

Jinsha Ruins Museum: The famous Sunbird is here, and there are many beautiful cultural relics with stories inside. Imagine the life of the ancients here.

The trip will end in four and a half days.

Tips

1. Check the weather forecast before going. If it rains for 4 days, please bring rain gear, a pair of good walking shoes, and long sleeves. It’s cloudy and not warm in Chengdu. On sunny days, it’s autumn if you wear big pants according to the temperature.

2. Bring toilet water. The mosquitoes in Chengdu are black mosquitoes. After being bitten, it will swell and itch terribly.

3. Amap In Chengdu, where there are overpasses, there is no need to navigate on foot or by bicycle.

4. It is quite suitable to take a taxi with GD for less than 25 yuan in urban Chengdu. Very urgent and applicable. Don’t take detours based on navigation, call the complaint hotline to report.

There are no mopeds to ride in Chengdu, so riding a bicycle is very convenient. It's better to ride a bike than a short subway ride, two or three blocks away for a few short stops. There are many areas for bicycle enjoyment.

6. If you stay in a hotel like me, take the subway back to the hotel and get off at Renmin North Road subway station, which is closer than the North Railway Station. There is a hotel street behind Jinniu Wanda, which is very nice. Emmmm, I am a foodie, so I just ate it.
