"Ocean Taikooli" can be traditional or high-end.
Since opening to the outside world on 20 14, Taikooli has become a new cultural landmark beside Chunxi Road in Chengdu. Different people have heard that "Taikooli" has different concepts. The low-rise high-end fashion shopping block is adjacent to the Millennium temple Daci Temple, and you will inadvertently find the works of major international artists, sharing the same space with the nearby Daci Temple with red walls and black tiles.
Taikoo Li uses a large number of traditional 2-3-storey single-family buildings in western Sichuan style, with blue tile roofs, dark window grilles and large external floor-to-ceiling glass curtain walls, which precipitates Bashu culture and reveals a sense of high-end, literary and modern architectural art. Taikoo Li is characterized by its own system of buildings and irresistible charm of shops.

Bars in Chengdu, listening to rock and folk songs, are holy places for young people who advocate independent and original music. Seemingly unknown, it has many resounding "titles": a small bar, an art salon, an independent record company, a cultural company, an original rock base in Chengdu, and an uninterrupted weekend rock scene for more than ten years. There is more than one pub in Chengdu, but the area is not large. Qin Fang stores have the most performances. Its low-key appearance hides a strong heart. When night falls, many young people come in, some are drunk, others want to listen to a soft or hot music. Almost every week, many folk rock "underground bands" perform in bars, and pubs also support countless unknown musicians.

Wen Yi Street, which is more unforgettable than hot pot, walked with me on the streets of Chengdu until all the lights went out. Chengdu, only you can't take it. "-Zhao Lei's Chengdu"
Listening to Zhao Lei's Chengdu, still immersed in the pub at the end of Yulin Road? It should be said that it was infected by this Chengdu-style literary atmosphere. What is Wen Yi Street? It is a novelty, a shop full of looming art designs, a roadside chicken soup-like advertising language, and a perfect blend of branches and leaves under soft and dreamy lights. There are many small streets full of fresh colors of literature and art in Chengdu. Walking in them, you will find a talented poet in your heart. To find the location of each street, just search the name directly.
Tongxiang
Alley is only 250 meters long, separated from Kuanzhai Lane in the city center by several parallel streets, but it is a famous one among many small alleyways in Chengdu that are good at managing fresh literary styles. Every shop under the old residential building has its own understanding of life. From outside the street, green plants are everywhere on both sides of the street, and the seats in front of the shops exude a sense of comfort. Savor carefully, this simple street is not simple at all.
Shutong street.
Paulownia Tree Street, parallel to the northwest of Kuanzhai Lane, is 380 meters long. At one end of the street is Paulownia Tree Primary School, which has since entered a quiet literary alley. Almost all shops, bars, restaurants, cafes, boutiques and so on. Along the street. They all quietly displayed their unique charm on the first floor of the residential building and lived in harmony with the whole community. You can walk slowly and take a closer look at the decorative arts of each house.
Jishi steet
Jishi Street is the nearest parallel street in Kuanzhai Lane, with a total length of about 470 meters. There are many legends about the origin of street names, but they all show the long history of this street. Today's confidant stone street is full of vitality. From the easternmost part of Kuanzhai Lane to the north, you can see the vegetable market and many traditional shops under the overpass. When you walk in, you really enter the world of residents. Chengdu people under ginkgo trees, blue brick walls, are the biggest scenery here.
Kuilou steet
Among the parallel literary streets around Kuanzhai Lane, Kuixinglou Street is far away, so the noise of Kuanzhai Lane can hardly be heard here, only the shops under the ginkgo trees are full of temperament. An old German-style building in the alley, which has been idle for many years, has been built into the most famous "Tang Ming" by a group of young artists, attracting many creative workers and forming a relatively complete cultural and creative industrial base. At the same time, there are hidden Chengdu snacks waiting for tourists to discover in Kuixinglou Street.
White driveway
White alley can really be described as pocket, and the distance is less than 100 meters. There are only three house numbers: White Lane 1, White Lane 2 and White Lane 3. It's short, but there is a gazebo. Sitting in the pavilion, sipping wine, looking at the old tile house on one side of the alley and the brick wall of the residential building covered with creepers on the other side. Old fashion is the concept that Baixiang wants to express. Sure, it will be nice to take pictures.
Chongdeli
Similar to Shanghai New World, Chongdeli in Chengdu is a quiet century-old courtyard house in western Sichuan, not far from Chunxi Road and near Dongjie Street in the city center. Nearly a hundred years ago, a businessman named Wang Chongde bought this land and named it "Chongdeli". Later, it became the place where many historical events took place. Le Jia Paper Mill and Chengdu Anti-Enemy Association of Literary and Art Circles witnessed the historical vicissitudes of this house. Between the mottled gray walls and blue bricks, the old courtyard has been organically renovated and turned into a private restaurant, teahouse and boutique hotel, allowing visitors here to get a glimpse of the culture of that year from a modern perspective.
Fanglin road
Fanglin Road, located in the south of Baihuatan Park, is a fan-shaped street with a total length of more than 700 meters. This is a bar street in this area. It became lively after nightfall, and it was even more crowded after 10 at night. Compared with Jiuyanqiao and Lan Kwai Fong, the most famous bar areas in Chengdu, the bar atmosphere of Fanglin Road is particularly elegant. Almost every bar has a beautifully carved railing terrace outside the door, and bamboo chairs will be placed outside the store. At night, the soft light shines, the moonlight is bright and the trees are mottled, so you can have a drink in such a fresh and literary street.
Shizi lane
Persimmon Lane is located on the south side of Kuanzhai Lane, close to Jinhe Road, and it is a 300-meter-long ancient alley. In Qing Dynasty, it was called Yongping Hutong, where there was a big persimmon tree. In the early years of the Republic of China, it was renamed Persimmon Lane. Now the persimmon tree is gone. It's just a narrow alley under a residential building. This wall is about 2 meters high. Looking up, they are all old-fashioned residential buildings. There are several small shops and a gate in the alley, which says "father's cabin"
Jinyi steet
Near the landmark Hejiang Pavilion and the covered bridge in Chengdu, the "Jinguan Street" around Shangri-La Hotel has never been discovered by tourists. Today, Jinguan Street is triangular. Jinguan Post Station, once the Shuima Post Station in Sichuan, is the largest land post station in Sichuan Province, the largest water post station in Sichuan Province, and the starting point from Chengdu to East Sichuan Post Station. Jinguan First Street was once crowded with businessmen who made money to build houses here, so a series of houses in western Sichuan sprang up like mushrooms after rain, with carved windows, blue brick walls, high thresholds, square patios and high eaves. Although they may not exist now, we can still see the grand occasion of Chengdu dock culture from the well-preserved ancient buildings in western Sichuan.
Memory of the Eastern Suburb is the artistic cell of industrial civilization. The memory of the eastern suburb of Chengdu used to be called Chengdu East Music Park. This is a creative park built on the former site of the state-owned Hong Guang Electron Tube Factory. Mainly music, it can be regarded as the "798 Art District" in Chengdu. Due to the transformation of the old factory area of the electronics factory itself, large chimneys, conveyor belts, boilers, machine tools and other elements. It also brings artistic cells. The factory workshop has been transformed into a cinema and theater, the factory building has become an art exhibition space, the old office building has become a design hotel, and most of the cultural relics of the industrial age have been passed down. There are many revolutionary graffiti in the huge music and art park, which can really evoke memories of the older generation. At the same time, it is also showing the younger generation the "China West End of London" art block with the characteristics of industrial civilization.

Happy Valley
Screaming and laughter are intertwined. China has Happy Valley in Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Chengdu, Wuhan and Tianjin, and the parks in each place have their own characteristics. Chengdu Happy Valley is a paradise for young people and their parents. Every weekend or holiday, many students, couples and office workers will come here to seek excitement. Cheerful, world-style music, screaming one after another, smiling faces full of confidence and joy are the perfect integration of Happy Valley, a playground, and Chengdu. Different seasons have different amusement themes, and you will feel different freshness and excitement every time you come.
Happy Valley Night Halloween Theme Activities
# Play what #
Chengdu Happy Valley is divided into 8 theme areas, and each theme area has a signboard project. You can enjoy most of the events by purchasing a ticket once. As soon as you enter the park, you can see the "heaven and earth" of the high jumper. There are two machines in it. One is to slowly rise to an altitude of 60 meters and then fall freely, and the other is to quickly rush up and then fall freely. You need to queue up twice for both games. The devil may cry is a very popular haunted house. When you step into a dark and long room, many supernatural phenomena will challenge your courage. There is a "water ferris wheel" suitable for the whole family or couples to ride under the jumper. After the romance is turned over, it will be closer to TA's heart. Those who are really looking for excitement will never miss the two roller coasters in the park-"Flying Dragon" and "Flying over the Mediterranean". Every time, they are showing off dragons. Whether it is a nearly vertical dive or hovering, it is an opportunity to enhance courage.
Some charming Bashu areas located in the park are the displays of Sichuan Bashu customs. Bricks and tiles are arranged according to the characteristics of Sichuan ethnic minorities, and there are Qiang and Tibetan languages, which are not available in other parks.
Whenever summer comes, the Caribbean water park in the park will open. This park has all kinds of advanced water recreation facilities. The hot summer weekend of family reunion is coming to an end. Children also have their own magic castle area, with a wide range of cartoon patterns, gentle entertainment and entertaining. In Feidao District, there are mainly a large bird-watching garden and a butterfly garden, which is a paradise for nature lovers.
# See what #
The performance of Happy Valley is also one of the signature projects. The large-scale Bashu live drama "Hide and Seek" and the magic dance acrobatic performance "Pointer" are two hot programs, and almost all the performances are full. More than half of the evening performances that start on 18 every day will be closed. If you want to play more, you should go there during the day.
# What to eat #
There are many snacks in the park with short intervals, mainly selling snacks and simple meals, with prices ranging from 5 to 30 yuan. Western fast food is KFC, which is more expensive than outside. There are also selected fast food restaurants in different regions, offering Chinese food and western food, and the per capita price ranges from 30 yuan to 100 yuan. If you want to save some money, you can bring your own food, and others will be frugal.

Panda base
Listening to the smell of national treasure, our national treasure panda is sprouting, lazily basking in the sun and eating bamboo all day. When watching TV, we often see pictures of guests wearing blue protective clothing in close contact with giant pandas. I believe many people will have a soft heart.
There is more than one place around Chengdu where giant pandas can be seen, including Dujiangyan Panda Valley, Dujiangyan Panda Paradise (Dujiangyan Base of China Giant Panda Protection Research Center), Ya 'an Bifengxia Panda Base, Wolong Nature Reserve and Chengdu Zoo. But as far as panda population and viewing environment are concerned, Chengdu Giant Panda Research Base (referred to as "Panda Base") is the best place.

The panda base simulates the wild ecological environment of giant pandas, and there are facilities such as giant panda museum, giant panda hospital and giant panda kitchen for tourists to learn and understand giant pandas. Through the protective device, everyone can watch the lazy and lovely national treasure, or sit or sleep, or fight or fight. Every frame of the giant panda is touching people's hearts. The most distinctive feature here is that you can get in close contact with giant pandas in the "Giant Panda Experience Workstation" near the Sun Delivery Room. Of course, the cost of the experience is not low, but also depends on the physical condition of the panda that day. But being able to touch the national treasure panda is a lifelong wish of many people.
Here, I want to remind visiting friends that giant pandas like cold and fear heat. When the temperature exceeds 26 degrees, they will go indoors for the summer, so they can be seen playing outdoors earlier.

To see the water, don't forget the "Dujiangyan water release ceremony"
Teacher Yu left Chengdu with "Ask Qingcheng Mountain and worship Dujiangyan", which has too many profound connotations. Dujiangyan was originally named "guanxian", so some place names in Dujiangyan still use the title of guanxian.
Dujiangyan ancient city
In the ancient flood era before the construction of Dujiangyan water conservancy project, the Minjiang River basin in the western Sichuan plain where Chengdu was located was in an impermanent state. At that time, people thought that the water god was wrong, so they offered three animals to the river to "sacrifice" water. Later, on the basis of previous water control, Li Bing led the local people in guanxian to build Dujiangyan, a water conservancy project unparalleled in the world, so he changed "water worship" to "Li Bing worship". In the third year of the Northern Song Dynasty (AD 978), Tomb-Sweeping Day officially designated this day as the "Water Festival". When people open the floodgates to release water, this day has become a major festival comparable to the Spring Festival in western Sichuan, and it has also become a classic cultural card for tourists to understand western Sichuan culture.
Dujiangyan south bridge
Today's Tomb-Sweeping Day is Dujiangyan's annual major festival-the Water Splashing Festival. By restoring the traditional ceremony of releasing water, we pray for a bumper harvest, national prosperity and people's peace. Usually, the annual water release ceremony will be held during the live performance of "Dujiangyan in Daojie". If you want to go to the scene, you must buy tickets through official channels in advance.

Dufu Caotang Museum
Du Fu lived in Chengdu for nearly four years, leaving behind not only "huts broken by autumn wind", but also traditional gardens with classical patterns. Now Du Fu Caotang has become one of the few urban green spaces in the Second Ring Road of Chengdu, with Huanhuaxi in the south, which is also a favorite cultural and leisure park for Chengdu people. In the thatched cottage, you can see the red wall flower path that has never been swept by the guests, the poetic old thatched cottage, the small bridges and flowing water, and the plum and bamboo set each other off. There are elegant and quiet ink paintings everywhere, and you can hardly notice the noisy city outside the wall.
