Strolling through the streets, the surprise comes from inadvertently 1, Paulownia Street → Xiaotong Lane → Kuixing Street.
When it comes to what's interesting in Chengdu, "Kuanzhai Lane" will definitely rank among the top three and be mentioned by most people. But when a scenic spot is widely known, commercialization is inevitable, which loses its original characteristics and is quite boring. So today I'm going to Amway for everyone, not "Kuanzhai Lane", but the following route: Paulownia Tree Street-Xiaotong Lane-Kuixing Street.
These three alleys are not very long and easy to find. Just walk beside them. It was the May Day holiday when I went, and I was "crowded" by my bike. Yes, I was "squeezed" through Kuanzhai Lane, and then went around two or three times. Wow, the feeling of struggling out of the crowd is like being rescued from drowning. This is a complete relief.
Along the way, you will find many distinctive shops hidden here. There are many styles of decoration, which gives me the feeling that every small shop has its own story. When you walk in, you can feel the intention of the store. It's very suitable to come and sit often, calm down and experience it. Next, focus! The little sisters in most shops here are very beautiful! The voice is soft and lovely, and the attitude is good. My heart is really beautiful.
2. Panda Post Office
Lala Lala, after visiting these alleys, we can choose a place to have a rest. In view of my obsession with sending postcards to my friends, I chose Panda Post Office, which is just across the road from Kuanzhai Lane!
As for who to send it to, what style to choose and what to write, it's confidential here ~
PS: Don't throw away the receipt after spending at Panda Post Office. After you stamp at the front desk, there will be a discount when you buy drinks at the panda drink shop next door. According to the different consumption amount, the preferential amount is also different.
3. Violet goes to the street, boring palladium street.
These two streets are recommended because there are also many shops with fresh literature and art hidden here. This time I went to "_ Breakfast Snacks", a Japanese cafe. It was past 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and there was only one single seat left. Haha, this time it shows the benefits of traveling alone, and eating can be very efficient.
The left hand side and right hand side of breakfast snacks are Yichu Lotus and Chenguang Bookstore respectively. The style of the bookstore is also simple Japanese style, quiet. Lotus is a bar featuring cocktails. I didn't go in because I didn't open the door when I went. If you want to go, you can put these three places together to save time.
Lost at will, in the fusion of literature and creativity, with the passage of time, I feel more and more that the surprise in life begins with breaking the routine. Creativity is also nurtured in constant collision and subversion, so everywhere I go, I like to look for creative and dynamic places. Because there, you can see the sparks of people's thinking and inspiration. It is novel and interesting.
1, Dong Jiao memory
This place is very interesting. Originally a "state-owned red light tube factory", it was later converted into a music park and officially renamed as "Dongjiao Memory" on 20 12. It has become a settlement for artistic and cultural performances and literary and artistic creation exchanges in Chengdu.
After entering, you can obviously feel a strong industrial wind. These buildings are preserved, rebuilt and full of stories. Xiao Suo, with a cold old breath, is very attractive to me.
Walk slowly and record the light and shadow found during walking with the camera in your hand, which makes you feel satisfied and quiet. In my eyes, anyone and everything photographed has a soul, so I must have been moved by pressing the shutter. During the period, I also saw many people taking art photos and wedding photos there, and the air was full of sweetness.
PS:
Venue: No.4 Jianshe South Branch Road outside the Second Ring Road in chenghua district, Chengdu.

2.U37 Creative Warehouse
U37 this place doesn't look amazing on the surface, but once you go in, you will find Gankun hidden inside, which can be said to be a paradise hidden in ordinary life. The first feeling of coming here is that there are really few people and there are many locals. The shadow of the tourists is almost invisible, which really won my heart.
There are 10 old warehouses and office buildings, and there are many native trees, which are well afforested. After a tour, you will find a coffee shop, a gourmet shop, a book bar, a creative workshop, a music venue, and a graffiti wall more than 100 meters long, which is very suitable for taking pictures.

3.IBOX container creative tribe
Coming out of U37 Creative Warehouse, you don't need to take a bus, and you can follow the navigation by bike soon. Want to come here, the purpose is very direct, because looks good, colorful, straight female aesthetic, haha.
There are even fewer people here, mostly the working party of the studio. Very dark, bright yellow, passionate red, melancholy blue, fresh green, squatting, sitting, lying down, snapping pictures all the way, with a camera and tripod on his back, what is the image, it does not exist.
I like the atmosphere here because I feel the taste of dreams. Don't think I'm exaggerating. When I went, I stood in front of a Guqin studio for a long time because I was attracted by a little girl's concentration. When she plays the guqin, she is so serious. When her fingers crossed the strings, the strings came out and my heart was calm. Later, when Mr. Guqin saw me, he came out and said to me kindly, "Go in and listen. You can sit inside." I felt very warm in my heart, so I went in to have tea with them.
When I came out of the piano room, I heard the music. As soon as I heard it, I found two sisters dancing. So I used to sit by and watch for a long time. I think the dancers are very confident. They didn't feel at home when they saw me. They told me that they were dancing jazz and recording videos for the competition. Well, I like the energetic feeling on them very much, and I almost want to dance with them, haha ~

4. Sichuan Art Museum
Generally, when I go to a city, I will choose to visit the local art museum. "Art is not a skill, but an artist who has experienced emotional transmission." It's my favorite sentence. Most works can reflect the truth in the creator's mind and rarely lie. As an audience, I will be satisfied if I can appreciate a little bit from it.
Chuanmei's design is very modern. From the front, it looks like a sleeping "wishful" shape. You don't need tickets to visit, just exchange your ID card for tickets. I prefer places where people have few connotations and stories to places where people spend money rushing over to see people blindly.

Did you do all this? Let's see if we have met in a parallel world. If we don't, don't worry. I'll take you to explore Chengdu.
Chengdu really hides a lot of good shops. It takes at least a month, or even longer, to find and experience it seriously. I went for two days this time and chose what I liked. Share with you below (including address, per capita consumption, in-store features, etc.). ), and some I found but didn't have time to go, so I shared them with you. You're welcome if you need it, please take it directly!
1, she and his high-altitude terrace cafe
This is the first place, because the night view here is super beautiful. If you don't believe me, let me show you a picture.
She and her high-altitude terrace cafe Chengdu viewing holy land
This shop is on the 32nd floor of an upscale residential building. It's not easy to find, but someone will pick you up after you call. At that time, I was too confident to call. I couldn't find it anywhere with the navigation, so I called to ask. Then a sister came out to pick me up. That girl is very cute and told me that customers who go for the first time usually come down to pick me up.
It was around 17:30 in the afternoon, which was still early. Because I went to shoot the night scene, I booked the location of the terrace first. Put away the tripod and prepare the mobile phone for continuous charging, so I ordered a cup of "passion fruit tea" cooked by her family, which was very strong and super delicious.
Everything is ready, all you have to do is enjoy the present time. 18: 00-2 1: 00, three hours of shooting, watching sunset, dusk, dark night and stars, drinking a good cup of tea, reading a good book and chatting with strangers at will, which is my favorite feeling of traveling.

2. There is no other space.
This coffee shop should be the favorite coffee shop on this trip, because no matter the decoration, coffee, cocktails and desserts, it is a "cold wind". Let me show you some photos.
no
His family's "micro-nitrogen cold extraction" is a "Candleman" coffee bean provided by 90+, the world's top raw bean supplier. After moderate baking, it is cold extracted for 24 hours, and then a small amount of nitrogen is added. Some coffees use Ethiopian beans, so you can choose according to your own preferences.

3. _ Breakfast Snacks
I mentioned this store above. Post the details below. "_ Breakfast Snacks" is close to "Another Space", which can be reached within walking distance and can be experienced together.
This small shop with overall Japanese style is not very large in scale, but its business is very hot. It wasn't rush hour when I went, but there was only one single seat left. I'm glad I came alone, otherwise I'll wait for you. The decoration in the store has a feeling of forest, and simplicity is the biggest feature. Next door is Morning Post Bookstore, which mainly deals in various independent magazines at home and abroad.
I want to go here because I know that the owner of this store once said that he always reminds himself to focus on what he likes. Maybe I think sticking to my heart is a precious quality, so I want to see it.

4. For example, this coffee URBANPICNICCAFF.
Start with "_ breakfast snack" and ride all the way to find "Reuben". In the crowded holiday of May Day, I can shuttle through the quiet alleys with trees, accompanied by the sunset sky, blowing a cool and warm breeze, and then playing a jazz or Korean independent little fresh, not to mention how satisfied I am. Close your eyes and open your arms.
"The smell of wine is not afraid of the depth of the alley", so is the cafe hidden in the street. The main color in the shop is white, fresh Nordic style, clean and natural. There were not many customers when I went. I felt lucky that day and met one of the two store managers. I have to say that this store manager is very handsome, not limited to his face, but his own temperament, which is very unique. At that time, he smiled and asked me, "Hello, what can I do for you?" "Hello, I'd like a Red Velvet latte," I thought when I answered him. A stranger's smile can really be sincere and warm.
Why did you choose to come to this store? Because the two managers in this store are a couple, haha, yes, that manager was married just now. The couple once traveled around the world with their hands washing pots. Later, they chose to settle in Chengdu and opened this "URBANPICNICCAFF". I'm curious about what kind of store these two people will open, so let's find out. "Comfortable" and "comfortable" are my feelings. There won't be too much deliberate here, just enjoy the real environment and be yourself. The love between two people, a coffee shop, is really good.
Maybe people who like to travel have a heart that loves life. After seeing too many landscapes and experiencing many unforgettable things, their inner wealth will be manifested as an external peace. I think that's why the manager gives me a warm and easy-going feeling. There are many troubles in the secular world, but some people still regard life as a poem. Therefore, never lose a heart of pursuing beauty and boldly do what you want to do.

Venue: No.6, No.48 Jin Quan Street, Jinjiang District, Chengdu.

5. Ding Yi Coffee-a cafe for men
I happened to go to this cafe. I was in Kuanzhai Lane, and I saw the sign of this store saying "Men's Cafe". The first reaction in my mind was "What? A man's cafe? What do you mean only men can go to coffee shops? No, then my sister will try. " Haha, I don't know why I think so. I was crying alone.
I understand that the owner of this coffee shop is a man named "Mrding". Old Ding Yuan was named "Zhi Ding". After the Wenchuan earthquake, he stayed here and opened this cafe. Different from other cafes, Dingyi Coffee only makes one kind of coffee, which is "Yunnan Small Coffee". He said it was for "the national pride of China people". Later, he began to build a library for children in the mountains. It is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish. Books are the windows for children to the outside world. This is Mrding's insistence.
You see, sometimes the story behind a cup of coffee is the real reason why this cup of coffee is so mellow.

6. heming Tea House
After visiting so many cafes, let's take everyone to tea.
As we all know, Chengdu is a very livable city. Some people say it's because the pace of life there is slow, but it's not. It is the people here who have a good mentality and a generally high happiness index. Chengdu people like drinking tea and walking in the streets of Chengdu. There are countless large and small tea houses. But if you want to experience the most authentic, you must come to heming Teahouse. A bowl of tea, a pot of boiling water, and some snacks like melon seeds can take you for a long time.
Heming Teahouse is in Chengdu People's Park. It was past ten o'clock in the morning when I went, and many old people were already drinking tea, chatting and playing cards here. Since I'm here, how can I not indulge myself and order a cup of tea to kill time?
"Sister, have a cup of West Lake Longjing Bai ~" In this way, I don't feel bored while drinking tea and watching old people chat.

1, five elephant coffees
As one of the three German fine coffee brands, "FiveElephantCoffee" is the most famous coffee shop in Berlin. The name of this store has a very interesting story: a baby elephant named "Wu" accidentally lost its tail, so it searched all over the world, lived by eating coffee berries along the way, and then spat out coffee beans all over the world with its own footprints.
The founder is Chris Schackmann, a German-American, who was a director in Hollywood. Because of his strong love for coffee, he returned to his grandfather's hometown Berlin on 20 10 and started a coffee shop called FiveElephant.

3、UIDCafe
I want to go to this store to see if it is because I want to experience the retro culture inside. Let's talk a little about "retro culture" here: it refers to objects with a history of more than 20 years, which have distinctive signs of the times, such as mini dresses and pop art in the 1960s, new feminine style introduced by Dior in the 1950s, and black-and-white geometric decoration in the 20s. It is called an antique when it is displayed on clothes.
The predecessor of this store was a pure professional cowboy shop, and later it gradually developed into three industries covering clothing, design and culture. The tables and chairs in this shop are all solid wood, red brick, brass, wrought iron and leather, which are very textured. Mainly retro motorcycle style. At that time, because there were many people and there was no room, I didn't go in. The shop area is still very large, and friends who like this style can go and sit.

6. Wow! Koff
The reason why I want to go to this coffee shop is completely attracted by the words of two young ladies who open a shop together. "Don't blow feelings, don't sell dreams, what we want is Wow when drinking coffee!" Haha, I thought it was cute at that time.
The pink walls in the shop are fantastic. From the outside, it is a distinctive pink coffee shop for girls. It's a favorite shop for Chengdu locals. There are not only intentional and single-item handmade coffee, but also soda, afternoon tea, matcha cake rolls, light food and so on.
Because the owner is a barista and a professional with a background in control technology, this small shop also has 1vs 1 customized courses, including different courses for different coffee lovers and baristas, such as the introduction of coffee and the basics of Italian extraction-gold cup extraction-hand washing system course-hand washing experience course and so on.

The above are recommended coffee shops and teahouses for everyone. In fact, there are many coffee shops with characteristics and stories in Chengdu, so we can only wait until next time to learn about them. Maybe this is one of the reasons why I want to go to Chengdu again.
You are the poison of my meteor at night. I have such a charming title because I really want to go to Chengdu this time. Well, please use your imagination. Who fascinates me, enchants me and deprives me?
The answer is: Chengdu in the night.
Since I started to contact photography, I like to do one thing very much-climb mountains and shoot night scenes. But the city where I live can shoot less, and there are not many opportunities to practice shooting. Therefore, when I arrive in Chengdu, what I do most every night is to shuttle through the dark night and climb high and look far! Here are some good places to shoot night scenes in Chengdu.
1, Sichuan Radio and Television Building
2. Tianzi Street Plaza (55th floor)
3. Jiuyan Bridge
4. Tianfu overpass
5. She and his high-altitude terrace coffee shop (32nd floor).
6. Qintai Road
7. Fang Bookstore in Taikooli
8. Yu Lang Tower
At the top of Mount Emei, when I climbed high, I remembered someone who didn't know why. I have always been a person who likes to climb high to see the scenery. This is true when you are in a good mood, and it is also true when you are in a bad mood. Perhaps only by standing on a high place and looking into the distance can we fully enjoy the loneliness in the depths of our souls. Just as the lyrics say, "Lend me loneliness at first sight, lend me liveliness that is not afraid of being crushed", mountain climbing can give me strength. Do nothing, just stand on the top of the mountain for a long time. So I won't miss this trip to Chengdu and Emei Mountain.
I don't like joining groups, so I choose to go alone. I booked a train ticket to Emei Mountain the night before, and got up early the next day at 7:20. At 6 o'clock in the morning in Chengdu, I sat in a taxi to the train station, rolled down the window, looked at the sleeping city, felt the coolness in the air, and felt a little stunned. A person stopped to see the scenery, and I asked myself what it was like.
Will you be lonely? Yes This kind of loneliness will not exist in a noisy crowd, but in a quiet night, when you want to share the beautiful scenery with others. Except loneliness? In addition to loneliness, it is a sense of accomplishment and self-confidence. I think it's coolest when I travel alone. I don't care about anything, even if I sit on the roadside and eat instant noodles, I feel happy when I see people coming and going. Because that's what I look like without affectation.
In this way, I walked to the railway station, and finally I set foot on the train to Emei Mountain. Let's talk about the route and play method of Mount Emei for the reference of free travellers.
1, transportation:
Train: Chengdu East Station-→ Emei Mountain Station. Ticket price: 65 yuan/person +20 yuan/person (insurance) =85 yuan/person.
12 Bus: Emei Mountain Station-→ Dahongzhi Station. Ticket price: 1 yuan/person.
Charter: Dashunzhi Station-→ Zero Kilometer Square. Ticket price: 100 yuan/person (round trip)
Tourist bus: Zero kilometer square-→ Dong Leiping. Ticket price: 50 yuan/person (round trip)
Hiking: Dong Leiping-→ Jieyin Temple. There is no transportation in this section, it is a mountain road, so you can only climb by yourself.
Cableway: Jieyin Temple-→ Emei Jinding. (Up: 65 yuan/person, down: 55 yuan/person)
PS:
Franchised section:
1), when I went there, because it was a May Day holiday, there would be people soliciting customers there and asking exorbitant prices. In fact, it was a car fight with someone else. The pimp asked me for 300 yuan earlier. I said, dude, stop being ridiculous. I'll give you 100 and you won't lose. 300 is a bit inappropriate. Big Brother said that the traffic jam was so bad today that 300 couldn't be lower, so I turned my head and left, just waiting for him to stop me. As expected, the final transaction was 100. There were four other people who shared a car with me. Later, I learned that the soliciting man asked them for 700. So when you go out, you must be careful not to be fooled or something.
2) This section of the road is very difficult to walk. All the way to Panshan, whether you are a friend driving by car or a friend chartered by car, please be sure to pay attention to safety.
3) Most chartered car owners are locals, and some will take guests to their homes to sell tea or other specialties at home when they return. At this time, my friends.
