Summer Chengdu Walking Guide｜Locally Certified Cool Ways to Play & Avoid Pitfalls! Itinerary Planning (3 Days 2 Nights Summer Escape Version) Day1

🌞Summer Chengdu Walking Guide｜Locally Certified Cool Ways to Play & Avoid Pitfalls!

📅 Itinerary Planning (3 Days 2 Nights Summer Escape Version)
Day1: Old Chengdu Vibes
Kuanzhai Alley: Beautiful for photos with blue bricks and black tiles, but snacks are expensive and ordinary! After taking photos, head straight to Kuixinglou Street for spicy Maojiao hotpot skewers, a local secret🔥
People’s Park: Head straight to Shaocheng Teahouse! Sit on bamboo chairs to enjoy lotus flowers and tea (lotus in full bloom in July), order a cup of jasmine snow and ear-picking service to experience the "bamboo shadows and lotus breeze slow life"
Night Tour of Jinli: When the red lanterns light up, you instantly feel like you’re in ancient times. Try the sugar-coated fried dough balls, but be cautious buying rabbit head (high price, average taste)
Day2: Cute Pets + Trendy Play
Panda Base: ⚠️ Key point! Arrive before 7:30! Head straight to the Moon Nursery to watch baby pandas play-fighting. After 9 am, pandas go back to air-conditioned rooms to "laze around"
Dongjiao Memory: An artsy district converted from an old factory, with graffiti walls and vintage locomotives. For afternoon tea, choose "Coffee Convenience Store"📸 a perfect spot for photos
Jianshe Road Night Market: A local’s late-night food paradise! Fu Qiang ribs, hand-scooped ice jelly with glutinous rice cake, about 20 RMB per person to eat until full
Jiuyanqiao: Riverside pubs with folk music, recommended "Erma Tavern," their dizzy tea special is refreshing and non-intoxicating
Day3: Time Travel to Ancient Shu Kingdom
Jinsha Site Museum: The golden foil of the Sun Bird is stunning! The ebony forest is cool and great for photos. Renting an audio guide (30 RMB) is recommended
Du Fu Thatched Cottage: Bamboo forest and thatched cottages are serene and picturesque. Wear Hanfu to shoot a "Wizard of Oz" style photo series
Air Raid Shelter Cool Spot: A "natural air-conditioned room" (25℃) next to People’s Park, bring a book, use WiFi, and stay all afternoon

🍜 Food Hits and Misses｜Tested Taste Bombs!
✅ Must-Try
Hotpot: Wuliguan (old residential building, humble), Da Long Yi (rich beef tallow flavor), order mild spicy! Add garlic paste to the oil dip to reduce spiciness
Snacks: Xiaomingtang Dandan Noodles (sesame sauce and minced meat aroma makes you cry), Dongzikou Zhang Laoer Sweet Water Noodles (thick noodles with great chewiness), Jianshe Road Egg Cake (cream and pork floss forever)
Late Night Snacks: Steel Pipe Factory District 5 Xiao Jun Gan Skewers (Yulin branch), beef buns with pickled chili make you tear up! Pair with chilled Vitasoy soy milk
❌ Avoid Warnings
"Internet-famous snacks" in Jinli/Kuanzhai Alley (San Da Pao, Pineapple Rice) are expensive and ordinary
Be cautious ordering "spicy relief desserts" at hotpot places (frozen glutinous rice balls are common), better to go to Fanjifan for hand-scooped pandan ice jelly
Houttuynia warning! Shout "no fishy herb" when ordering to be safe

🏨 Accommodation & Transportation｜Cool and Worry-Free Guide
Recommended Accommodation
Chunxi Road Area: Chengdu Niccolo Hotel (next to IFS panda butt, high-rise city view), R ROYALSS (giant screen projection homestay, about 150 RMB per person)
Kuanzhai Alley: Atour Hotel (3-minute walk, bathtub for soaking and relaxing)
Avoidance Tip: Be cautious choosing old inns! Chengdu is humid, pick hotels with dehumidifiers
Transportation Tips
Subway + Didi is most convenient! ⚠️ Ring Expressway has restrictions (weekday license plate limits), rent new energy vehicles (green plates have no restrictions)
To Dujiangyan/Qingcheng Mountain: Take high-speed train from Xipu Station (30 minutes), traffic restricted in scenic areas after 18:30

💡 Blogger’s Private Tips
3 Must-Have Sunscreen Items: Banana Under capsule umbrella + mini fan + Huoxiang Zhengqi water (feels like 40℃ at noon)
Flower Viewing Trivia: Top star "Huahua" rests on Mondays! Don’t go in vain
Nightlife Bonus: Sichuan Opera Face Changing at Shufeng Yayun (8 pm show), VIP seats include covered bowl tea + shoulder massage, worth the ticket price
Hidden Summer Escape Spot: Haihe An Polar Ocean Park "Chuanxi Ecological Pavilion," watch otters being cute + plenty of air conditioning
Final Reminder: Chengdu’s summer is a "slow soul" with "spicy flavor," don’t pack your itinerary too full! Leave an afternoon for tea and daydreaming, that’s the real comfort～ 🌿✨
