The most beautiful time I spent in the ginkgo was when I visited the Wenshu Monastery in Chengdu. When the wind blew through, the scenery was colourful and the ground seemed to be covered in gold. I wished that time would go slower so that I could enjoy the beautiful scenery for longer. Wenshu Monastery is the first of the four major forests in the upper and lower reaches of the Yangtze River in China. The existing buildings are typical of the ancient style of the western Sichuan Plain. The all-wooden building and the six main halls are on the central axis of the mountain gate. It is magnificent. There is a treasure in the temple. You will get the chance to see the relic of Buddha and Master Xuan Zang’s top bone.

Chongqing to Chengdu is really convenient, I went again last month, this time the Chengdu trip was both serious and casual, and later sent to 3 friends who went to Chengdu, they also think this itinerary is very good, share it with friends who may want to play in Chengdu.👍😄 🚄Transportation: Go to Shapingba Station, buy tickets to Chengdu East Station, it only takes a little over an hour! I chose to stay near Chunxi Road, which is convenient to go anywhere. 1⃣️The first stop was People's Park, which is simply a 'Peach Blossom Land in the hustle and bustle of the world'! You can drink tea, row boats, commemorate the martyrs, and even visit the famous blind date corner.🚇Take the subway line 2 and get off at People's Park Station, then walk for 5 minutes.🔥After playing here, I casually went to a hot pot restaurant recommended by a friend, the price was quite affordable, and the taste was similar to that of Chongqing. 2⃣️Dongjiao Memory, a famous City walk street in Chengdu, the whole block is very industrial style, there are many unique small shops inside, all dressed up very well, suitable for taking pictures, especially the Chengdu big word wall and the locomotive square are very photogenic.🚇Take the subway line 8 and get off at Dongjiao Memory Station B1 exit. 3⃣️Jiuyan Bridge, if you want to experience Chengdu's nightlife, you can come here, there are many small bars, you can have a drink with friends, the night view is very beautiful, there is also a night tour of Jinjiang project, but I think the boat ticket is a bit expensive, I didn't take it haha.🚇Take the subway line 6 and get off at Niuwangmiao Station H2 exit.🔥I saved the boat ticket and went to Jiefang West Road for a barbecue. I think there is a difference between Chengdu's barbecue and Chongqing's. They grill it drier, but overall it's delicious. 4⃣️Wenshu Monastery, it's almost New Year, you can go to Wenshu Monastery, burn incense and worship Buddha, drink tea and eat vegetarian food, touch the 'fortune' for a good omen, and the red wall is also very photogenic, there is also a palace pastry next to it, but you have to queue up.🚇Take the subway line 1 and get off at Wenshu Monastery Station K exit. 5⃣️The last stop, you can stroll around IFS and Taikoo Li, after all, many brands don't have stores in Chongqing, only Chengdu has, then go to the top of IFS and take a photo with the panda building, then end the trip and return to Chongqing. This way, you won't be tired after two days of strolling, and you've played everything you should. I also ate sweet water noodles, spicy food, rabbit head on Chunxi Road, all of which were casually found at roadside stalls, and I can't remember the name a bit

Wenshu Monastery, the first of the four major Zen forests along the Yangtze River in China, is located in the center of Chengdu city. It is a Buddhist sacred place that integrates Zen forest sacred land, ancient garden architecture, pilgrimage sightseeing, and religious study. The monastery was first built during the Daye period of the Sui Dynasty (605-617 AD), initially named Xinxian, and has gone through several dynasties. It was destroyed by war at the end of the Ming Dynasty. In the 36th year of Kangxi (1697 AD), it was rebuilt by the Zen master Cidu Haiyue. At that time, people often saw the light of fire in the night sky. They followed the traces to the place where Cidu monk practiced, and they said it was the incarnation of Manjushri Bodhisattva, so it was renamed 'Wenshu Monastery'. In the 40th year of Kangxi (1701 AD), Emperor Kangxi bestowed a plaque with the words 'Kong Lin', so Wenshu Monastery is also known as 'Kong Lin Hall'. The monastery houses a large number of precious treasures, books and paintings, among which the relics of Tang Xuanzang, the 'Huayan Sutra' written in tongue blood, the Guanyin with hair, the palm-leaf sutra, and the calligraphy and paintings of Kangxi, Guo Qinwang, Liu Tang, Zhang Daqian, Xie Wuliang, Feng Zikai and other masters are particularly famous.
