[At The Temple House in Chengdu, Live a Life That's a Mix-and-Match Movie]

[At The Temple House in Chengdu, Live a Life That's a Mix-and-Match Movie] Chengdu is such a fun city, even the hotels are like they have a "parallel world" button. This time, I dove into The Temple House and unlocked a fantastic script of "half mundane, half magical." Every frame feels like shooting a lifestyle movie with its own filter. 1. When Old Sichuan-Style Houses Meet Trendy Gathering Places I laughed as soon as I got to the hotel entrance: The red lanterns were hung like they were celebrating a wedding, and when I turned my head, I saw young people in trendy clothes walking out of the glass curtain wall with coffee. The old brick walls and metal lines were put together without any sense of incongruity. Crossing the threshold is even better. The bluestone road winds into the depths of the bamboo forest. A young lady in Hanfu walks by holding a round fan, and next to her, a guy wearing sunglasses and listening to jazz music is lying on a lounge chair. It's a vivid picture of a "joint party for ancient and modern trendsetters." Opening the window in the room is like opening a small world: Wooden grilles let in fragmented light, and a gaiwan teacup is placed on the coffee table. When I turn my head, I see an ins-style monstera deliciosa inserted on the bedside table. I pick up the Bluetooth speaker on the bedside table and play it. The zither music mixed with electronic music actually creates a magical sense of rhythm. This mix-and-match style is wild enough! 2. Lazy Person's Perks: Even Lying Flat Has a Sense of Ritual I was given a fruit plate when I checked in. The strawberries were still covered with water droplets, and a small card next to them read "Freshly picked from the kitchen." I immediately imagined the chef picking fresh fruit in the vegetable garden. The best thing is the mini-bar: Coke and Sprite are in glass bottles. When you open the refrigerator door, you hear a "ding" sound, and it feels like you're unwrapping a retro snack blind box. In the afternoon, I was lying on the sofa when someone knocked on the door to deliver a facial mask, saying, "We saw that you didn't go out this morning, so it's time to apply a facial mask and lie flat." This accurate insight into slacking off deserves five stars! The bathroom is simply a "social phobia gospel": The shower, bathtub, and toilet each occupy a room, so you don't have to be embarrassed to "listen to the sounds to identify the location" when you live with friends. The most thoughtful thing is that the mirror has a fill light mode. When applying makeup in the morning, you can switch between cool and warm light at will. It knows how to make people look good better than your bestie's rainbow farts. 3. Foodie Map: From Morning Tea to Night Wine in One Step The biggest guilt of living here is that you don't have to bring your stomach out at all. For breakfast, eat brunch at The Temple Cafe. The Eggs Benedict with spicy Sichuan sausage is surprisingly harmonious. The aunt at the next table is holding a gaiwan tea and nibbling on a croissant. The picture is inexplicably harmonious. In the evening, stroll to Taikoo Li. Ma Wangzi's Kung Pao Eggplant and Shrimp Balls are sweet, spicy, and appetizing. After eating, turn back to the hotel for a cocktail. The bartender can actually use a gaiwan tea to make a special drink. The baijiu base is mixed with jasmine fragrance. One sip takes you back to the old teahouse and then to the whiskey bar. Before leaving, I ran into a couple taking wedding photos in the courtyard. The bride's veil brushed against the blue brick wall, and the groom's suit rubbed against the bamboo branches. I suddenly felt that this hotel is like a microcosm of Chengdu: Whether you're wearing a cheongsam or AJ, whether you like Sichuan opera or rock and roll, you can be yourself comfortably here. Isn't that the most fascinating thing about traveling?
