Chengdu

?? In Chengdu, I found an art of living—slowing down and savoring every moment. This city, with its unique cultural atmosphere and spicy cuisine, made my trip colorful. 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. Hotpot, skewers, dandan noodles, longchaoshou, every dish is mouth-watering. I especially recommend trying the local snacks in Jinli, where rabbit heads, tofu pudding, and guokui are must-try delicacies. In Chengdu, I experienced a life attitude of peace and contentment. The people here, with their enthusiasm and inclusiveness, make every traveler feel the warmth of home. This city, with its history, culture, and cuisine, made my trip unforgettable. If you also want to come to Chengdu, to feel the slow life and spicy food here, don't hesitate, pack your bags and embark on a spontaneous trip. Here, you will find the true meaning of life and experience a different kind of travel. Chengdu, a city you won't want to leave once you arrive, is waiting for you to explore its beauty.
