About transportation:

1. Airport and station There are many illegal cars nearby, so don't take them.

2. Chengdu East Station is the first choice for high-speed rail. It only takes 25 minutes to go directly to Chunxi Road Line 2.

3. The transportation in Chengdu is convenient, and it is convenient to go anywhere by bicycle, subway, bus, taxi, and online car-hailing~

4. Distribution of scenic spots in Chengdu The secret to being more concentrated and saving time and money is the subway.

About food:

1. Be sure to recognize your ability to eat spicy food. Don’t order hot pot that is too spicy. Sisters with bad gastrointestinal problems should not eat hot pot. It's iced, so you can order a cup of yogurt to relieve the spiciness.

2. Don’t buy snacks in Kuanzhai Alley or Jinli. They are very expensive and taste average. Locals don’t go there to buy food. They only rip off foreigners.

3. Internet celebrity restaurants are not necessarily authentic and delicious. Most of them rely on publicity. Generally, restaurants near residential buildings with average environment but many people are very good.

4. Don’t eat golden prunes. The fruit looks fresh and bright, but in fact it has added pigments! They are not fresh fruits, they are expensive and not delicious.

About the attractions:

1. The paint on the "Love Zebra Crossing" where Internet celebrities checked in has peeled off, so there is no need to go. At the same time, we don’t want to go to Yuanyang Building, a place where Internet celebrities check in. It is in a very old residential building, and the structure of the tube building is already a bit dangerous.

2. Don’t believe that "free" photos in the scenic area will make you spend money to buy photos!?

3. There is actually no need to go to Jiuyan Bridge for the scenic spot, the main thing there is There are many bars. Friends who want to experience Chengdu’s nightlife at night can go there! You will definitely not be disappointed!

4. Don’t go to the Panda Base in the afternoon. It is best to enter the park before 8 a.m., as this time period also has the least number of tourists. After noon, giant pandas tend to feel sleepy after eating and drinking enough.

5. Don’t go to the U37 warehouse. The buildings are relatively old and it belongs to an outdated park. There is no need to make a special trip.

6. It is not recommended to go to Haichang Polar Ocean Park. It is not very big inside, similar to an ordinary aquarium, and it is far away from the city.

About accommodation:

1. When booking a hotel online, be sure to read real reviews or photos, and do not have too high expectations to avoid disappointment.

2. Sisters who have trouble sleeping are advised not to choose a hotel on a low floor next to the road, as they may not be able to sleep well at night.

3. Do not book ordinary B&Bs. Most of them are renovated by yourself in apartment buildings and communities. There is a big gap between the pictures and the actual environment. There is no formal service specialist, and the actual experience after moving in is not very good.

4. Never believe the hotel accommodation enthusiastically recommended by the aunt at the station. The place is remote, the facilities and services are poor, and the price is not cheap. It’s too boring!

Other tips:

1. The weather in Chengdu is getting warmer, but the temperature is still relatively low in the morning and evening, so you can bring a light jacket.

2. Don’t go to Tianfu Square for shopping. The most fashionable brands are on Chunxi Road, Taikoo Li, IFS, and COSMO.

3. Don’t buy souvenirs and specialties in scenic spots. They are said to be discounted, but after all, they still cost a lot of money. You can go to local large supermarkets to buy them.
