Compared to Kuanzhai Alley, I recommend these niche routes in Chengdu!

If you are coming to Chengdu for a trip, save this three-day, two-night itinerary. In this city full of leisure and relaxation, slow down and experience the city's vibrant atmosphere and romantic ambiance. 📝Transportation 🛩️: Tianfu Airport or Shuangliu Airport If possible, choose Shuangliu Airport. It's very close to the city center, about 20 minutes away. From Tianfu Airport, you can take the subway directly to South Railway Station subway station and then take a taxi. Avoid taxis within Chengdu city! 🚈: Chengdu's subway system is very comprehensive and convenient. Taking a taxi can be really slow!!! Day1️⃣ Chunxi Road subway station Take photos with the IFS climbing panda — stroll around Taikoo Li to experience Chengdu's fashionable and bustling side — visit Chunxi Road, Chengdu's landmark commercial street — experience the local atmosphere of old Chengdu at Jiaotong Alley. Here you can try authentic Chengdu hot pot. This place is crowded every night, with a lively atmosphere and a variety of small dishes. It's a nostalgic taste of childhood. After dinner, experience Chengdu's nightlife! Wangping Street — Dongmen Bridge — Tianxianqiao South Road — Jiuyanqiao You can take a boat or walk to enjoy the romantic night view of Jinjiang River. Day2️⃣ Visit the giant panda Hua Hua — Du Fu Thatched Cottage (you can also see wintersweet flowers recently) — take a quick look at Kuanzhai Alley (don't buy anything) — relax with a cup of covered bowl tea at People's Park — experience Chengdu's artistic vibe at Citang Street and Binsheng Street — enjoy Chengdu snacks at Kuixinglou Street — visit Jinli Ancient Street at night for a more beautiful view than during the day. Day3️⃣ Chengdu's east suburbs are where the young and trendy gather — Yulin neighborhood has many interesting small shops, including cafes, cultural and creative stores, flower shops, and markets — take photos of the light show at the Twin Towers. If you have more time, you can also spend a day in Dujiangyan. Take a high-speed train from Xipu directly to Lidui Park in the morning. There are also the Tianfu Museum of Humanistic Art, Sanxingdui Museum, Chengdu Museum of Natural History, and Sichuan Science and Technology Museum, which are great for kids.
