Dujiangyan Scenic Area The Dujiangyan Scenic Area, located on the main stream of the Minjiang River to the west of Dujiangyan City, was constructed by Li Bing, the governor of Shu County of the Qin State, and his son around 256 BC. It is the most intact ancient water conservancy project in China today. The project consists of the Fish Mouth Levee, the Feisha Weir flood channel, and the Baopingkou water diversion mouth as the three main components, along with subsidiary projects such as the Baizhang Dyke and the Renzi Dyke. It separates the turbulent Minjiang River into the outer river for flood discharge and the inner river for irrigation, turning the western Sichuan Plain into the 'Land of Abundance'. 2. Wuhou Shrine The Wuhou Shrine in Chengdu is a temple dedicated to the heroes of the Shu Han, such as Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang. It was founded in the first year of the Zhaolie Emperor of Shu Han (221 AD) when Liu Bei's Hui Ling was built, and the Han Zhaolie Temple was constructed at the same time. 3. Du Fu Thatched Cottage The former residence of Du Fu, the famous poet of the Tang Dynasty, during his stay in Chengdu.

Coming to Chengdu, the two must-visit museums are the Du Fu Thatched Cottage and Wuhou Shrine. Due to time constraints, I only visited the Du Fu Thatched Cottage and fell in love with its beautiful scenery~ 🌷 The Du Fu Thatched Cottage was the residence of Du Fu when he fled the An Lushan Rebellion in Chengdu. Du Fu lived here for four years and wrote more than 240 poems. However, the thatched cottage no longer existed after Du Fu left, and the current cottage was rebuilt during the Jiaqing era of the Qing dynasty, featuring a typical Chinese garden style. 🌷 Even if you're not interested in Du Fu, this is also a great place to enjoy spring and flowers. Large magnolias are in full bloom, thousands of pear trees are smiling, and potted azaleas are competing in beauty... The place transforms into a sea of flowers, with tranquility everywhere. 🛣️ Recommended route: South Gate ➡️ Cottage Exhibition Room ➡️ Daya Hall ➡️ Flower Path ➡️ Huanhua Shrine ➡️ Bonsai Garden ➡️ Tang Dynasty Ruins ➡️ Thatched Cottage ➡️ Gongbu Shrine ➡️ Chaimen ➡️ Shishi Hall ➡️ Dagai ➡️ Main Gate 🌷 However, there are many gates to the Du Fu Thatched Cottage, and the layout inside is not very regular, so it can be a bit difficult to find your way. In that case, you can just wander at will, and the attractions you stumble upon are all beautiful~ 🌸 Flower Path: The Flower Path is where the famous red wall of the Du Fu Thatched Cottage is located. There are many people taking photos here, so it's recommended to take pictures at the corner to capture the moment when there are no people. 🌸 Bonsai Garden: There are large and small bonsai trees arranged here, which feels very leisurely and comfortable, and there are many beautiful azaleas! 🌸 Near the Thatched Cottage: The pond near the thatched cottage is really beautiful! You can enjoy the sound of the babbling brook, paired with the thatched cottage on the shore, it's very 'forest-style'. 🌸 Near the Tang Dynasty Ruins: There is a large pond near the ruins, with a small stone path laid on it, and you can even walk to the middle of the pond. There is a whole pear tree in bloom by the pond, paired with a small waterfall, the scenery is extremely pleasing to the eye. 🗒️ Du Fu Thatched Cottage Museum 📍 No. 37, Qinghua Road, Qingyang District 🕒 9:00-18:00 💰 50 yuan 🌸 Recommended visiting time: 2-3 hours 🚇 Subway Line 5 Qingyang Palace

Chuanxi is back, let's talk about the big truths that aren't on the internet.. ||- 1-If you're planning to fly to Chengdu, I suggest choosing Shuangliu Airport if you have a choice, as Tianfu is really too far away, about 70km from the city center, and it's not very convenient whether you take a taxi or the subway - 2-A 3-in-1 hardshell jacket is almost enough for winter in Chuanxi, but I recommend a hardshell jacket + fleece/down. I also don't suggest bringing a long down coat, as it's inconvenient for using the restroom - 3-The attractions in Chengdu city are very concentrated, and you can do it yourself. If you want to go to museums, Du Fu Thatched Cottage, or Sanxingdui, you can also book tickets in advance and enter with your ID card, no need to join a tour group. - 4-The group meals with bus tours are mostly Sichuan cuisine, and the drivers will take kickbacks. I sincerely suggest that if you join a bus tour, consider whether you can cancel the group meal and bring some dry food to eat on the road. We joined a small group, so we didn't have this concern - 5-If you want to buy local specialties, you usually choose milk balls, milk sticks, beef jerky, etc. I suggest buying them in the area of Siguniang Mountain or Kangding, which might be more economical. Anyway, don't buy them inside the scenic areas - 6-There are many little sheep and yaks on the roadside for you to take pictures with, but they charge a fee. Riding a yak costs about 50, and you can bargain hard during the off-season - 7-Chuanxi is vast, and I still suggest joining a tour group if you are traveling alone. Experienced drivers can consider self-driving, but I really don't recommend it for beginners, as this is the plateau! High altitude sickness and difficult roads are no joke - 8-If you're afraid of altitude sickness, observe in the hotel on the first day, because there is an incubation period for altitude sickness. If it's severe, go to a clinic to get an IV and inhale some oxygen. The effect of medical oxygen is not comparable to handheld oxygen - 9-I don't recommend choosing tours below market price, as they are basically shopping tours. Not only will they force you to shop, but they will also scare you into buying oxygen. Not only will you not save money, but it will also ruin your mood
