To the east of Chengdu is chenghua district, which is rich in tourism resources.
Chenghua district is the central city of Chengdu. 1990 to 10, the former Dongcheng District, a part of jinniu district and a small part of Xicheng District were established as Chengdu chenghua district. Because it is located in ancient Chengdu County and Huayang County, it is named after the initials of the two counties.
I live in Chenghua now, so I am familiar with chenghua district. I have been to many famous local scenic spots, which are worth visiting.
Chengdu Business Card-Chengdu Giant Panda Research Base, located at Panda Avenue 1375 outside chenghua district.
Chengdu Giant Panda Research Base is located in the northernmost part of chenghua district, where the mountains are full of Dai, the clear water is like a mirror, the forest is full of waves, and the birds are singing harmoniously. It is known as "the natural paradise of national treasures and our paradise".
The base was built on the basis of rescuing six sick and hungry pandas left in 1980s, and no giant panda was captured from the wild. The base was built on the basis of technological innovation. By the end of 2020, the population of giant pandas will reach 2 15, making it the largest captive giant panda population in the world.
This is the tourist card of Chengdu, a national 4A scenic spot. It is a world-famous giant panda ex situ conservation base, scientific research and breeding base, public education base and educational tourism base. Punching in at the "base" has become the first choice for Chengdu tourism.
Opening hours: 07: 30-18: 00; Panda Tower is open from 9: 00- 17: 00 and 16:30, and it is closed for maintenance on Tuesdays.
Admission: 55 yuan/person; Half price 27 yuan/person.
Memory of the Eastern Suburb, a microcosm of the industrial age, is located at No.4 Jianshe South Branch Road, chenghua district.
Have you seen the scenic spots presented in the order of house numbers? The memory of the eastern suburb of chenghua district is such a scenic spot, which is unique and I saw it for the first time.
Dong Jiao memory was rebuilt in the former state-owned Hong Guang Electron Tube Factory (code 773 factory, mailbox 106). China's first black-and-white kinescope was born here; China's first projection picture tube was also born here.
The whole scenic spot covers an area of 282 mu, with a construction area of about 200,000 square meters, which is relatively square. The central avenue is the central axis, and all the scenic spots radiate to both sides around this avenue. Including Industrial Culture Square, Dong Jiao Memory Hall, Chengdu Grand Stage, Locomotive Square, J-5 Aircraft, Panda and World Theme Square, Starlight Wall, etc.
Today, the memory of the eastern suburbs is shining brightly: "China West End of London", a national music industry base, a national AAAA-level tourist attraction, a national cultural industry demonstration base, a national cultural technology integration demonstration base and a national industrial heritage tourism base, won the first batch of press and publication industry demonstration projects and the second batch of national industrial heritage awards.
Opening hours: all day.

Zhaojue Temple, a temple named after the emperor, is located at No.333, Zhaoqing Road, chenghua district.
Zhaojue Temple, located 5 kilometers north of Chengdu, is known as "the first Zen forest in western Sichuan".
Zhaojue Temple is not a temple in the Han Dynasty, but the former residence of Sima Changdong in Meizhou, with the house number "Jianyuan". During the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty (627-649), it was changed to a Buddhist temple, named Jianyuan Temple. In other words, Zhaojue Temple was built in the Tang Dynasty.
Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty was called "Zhaojue". In 877, Tang Xizong was appointed abbot of Jianyuan Temple, a monk in the Tang Dynasty and a descendant of Zen Cao Dongzong. He built and expanded the temple and ordered it to be renamed "Zhaojue".
The overall layout of Zhaojue Temple is perfect. The central axis consists of Dashanmen, Octagonal Pavilion, Tianwang Hall, Daxiong Hall and Tibetan Classroom. On both sides are Guanyin Pavilion, Imperial Bookstore, Stone Buddha Hall (Nirvana Hall), Master Hall (Imperial Bookstore), Enlightenment Room, Bell Tower, Drum Tower, Ordinary Tower, Wu Yuan Zen Master Tower, Zen Hall, Guest Hall, Monk Room and Zhaitang.
There is a tree named Huangge in the temple, which is over 300 years old and the oldest in Chengdu. The roots are deep and leafy, with a crown width of nearly 30 meters and a DBH of 5.5 meters. Standing under the tree really feels like covering the sun. It is said that there is a stone tablet on the tree, which is one of Zhaojue Temple's allusions. It is worth seeing.
Opening hours: 8: 00- 16: 20.
Tickets: None.
Longtan Water Town, located in Hangtian Road, chenghua district, is a "Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival" created by flowing water.
Longtan Water Town, located in the east of chenghua district, is the largest supporting project of Chengdu Longtan Headquarters Economic City, with the same scale as Zhouzhuang Town, and it is also the only characteristic block built by using living water resources in the central city of Chengdu.
This is another cultural tourism business card created by Chengdu after Jinli Memory, Kuanzhai Lane and Dong Jiao, and it is known as "Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival" in Chengdu.
Longtan water town has the characteristics of "great integration" in architectural style. Whether it is residential buildings, small bridges, pavilions, promenades, or the overall layout, it fully embodies the "integration of East and West, North and South".
The "Longtan Pavilion" in the scenic spot is one of the scenic spots that must be punched in. The pavilion is 3 1.8m high and 2 1m wide. It is a five-story tower building, which is the essence of China classical architectural culture.
Opening hours: all day.
Tickets: None.
