🇨🇳A day trip in Dongjiao Memory, Chengdu

#solotrip During my solo trip to Chengdu, I spent a day visiting 东郊记忆 (Dongjiao Memory). It was a captivating experience, blending urban exploration with moments of personal reflection. This transformed industrial area, now a vibrant cultural hub, perfectly caters to a leisurely day of exploration with its unique mix of history and modernity. As I wandered through the revitalized factory buildings, now housing a variety of boutique shops and eateries, the area’s industrial past melded seamlessly with contemporary artistic elements, creating a photogenic backdrop for a solo adventurer. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Among the highlights was my visit to OldSpeakFactory, a café that stood out with its rustic, industrial décor and exceptional coffee. Enjoying a cup of their expertly crafted brew while soaking in the ambiance offered a perfect pause in my day. 🥰 The shopping at 东郊记忆 was equally rewarding. I explored Aerism, known for its minimalist apparel that merges traditional Chinese aesthetics with modern fashion trends. Another noteworthy stop was 江南先生, offering stylish and distinctly Chinese menswear. These stores not only provided a glimpse into the local fashion scene but also an opportunity to pick up unique pieces unlike anywhere else. 东郊记忆 is ideal for solo travelers seeking a blend of cultural immersion and personal space. The combination of historical architecture and modern lifestyle elements encourages you to take your time and enjoy each moment at your own pace. 东郊记忆, with its relaxed vibe and creative spirit, is a must-visit for anyone looking for a solo adventure in an urban setting. #solotravel #chengdu #dongjiaomemory #cafeculture #fashionfinds #urbanexploration #travelchina

Eastern Suburb Memory

Eastern Suburb Memory (Dongjiao Jiyi), or Eastern Suburb Memory, was originally an old factory and has been transformed into a tourist attraction, a chic check-in spot for strolling. There are many cute shops, food and drink shops, coffee shops, and clothing shops. The highlight is the orange wall that says "成都Chengdu", which is another popular photo spot. Sometimes, there's as many people waiting in line to take photos as there is for the giant bear face on the IFS building.

With a Japanese camera, any shot will look like something straight out of a magazine. - Chengdu's outdoor, architectural, and cultural landscapes are incredibly beautiful at night. Night mode on your phone is a must-have. The night shots of the Twin Towers and the Global Center are worth taking a look at. - The East Suburbs Memory Park is large, so comfortable shoes are recommended. There are plenty of cafes and cultural and creative shops on site for a break. - Please check the attractions' operating hours for your itinerary.

We recommend taking Didi or a taxi to the Panda Base. - East Suburbs Memory Park is accessible by subway Line 8, exiting Chengdu Industrial Museum Station. 🌶️ Food Recommendations - There are many Sichuan restaurants and hotpot shops near Chengdu Global Center, so you can stop by after your visit. - The cultural and creative shops within East Suburbs Memory Park often sell hand-poured coffee and cakes, perfect for those hipsters! #ChengduNightView #PandaCrush #CulturalCreativeCheck-In #ModernCity #TravelStrategy
