Experience and Insights: In Chengdu, I learned the wisdom of 'slowing down.' People here know how to enjoy life. A cup of tea, a game of mahjong, a hotpot meal, all are part of their daily life. I learned to slow my pace and enjoy this leisure with the locals. Self-Driving Itinerary: My journey in Chengdu began with a free self-driving tour. On the first day, I drove through the streets and alleys of Chengdu, feeling the blend of modernity and tradition in this city. On the second day, I went to Mount Qingcheng, exploring the tranquility and mystery of this Taoist mountain. On the third day, I visited Dujiangyan, standing before the ancient water conservancy project, marveling at the wisdom of the ancients. **Recommended Attractions**: - **Mount Qingcheng**: Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, here you will find fresh air and serene forests. - **Dujiangyan**: A water conservancy project over two thousand years old, still functioning today, a testament to ancient wisdom. - **Jinli**: An ancient street with a rich cultural atmosphere, full of snacks, a great place to experience Chengdu culture. **Local Cuisine**: The food in Chengdu is the soul of this city.
