#TravelChina Taikoo li is considered a high-end area, a center for brand-name shops from around the world. Not everyone who comes here comes to shop. Most people come to take pictures because this place is very beautiful. The building is designed in an ancient Chinese style, matching the adjacent Daci Temple, creating a perfect balance between the old and the new. We walked out of the temple into Tai Koo Li. The design is very neat. It doesn't feel like we just came out of the temple to visit a shopping mall or anything. All the buildings in Taikoo Li are designed like this. Taikoo Li is very spacious, with many intersections and alleys. There are also many shops and cafes. For those who like taking pictures, I recommend coming early in the morning when there are fewer people. Most people stay in the Chunxi area anyway. It only takes a short walk to get there. Location: Next to Daci Temple and Chunxi Road. How to get there: Take the Metro and get off at Chunxi Road Station. #Chengdu #ChengduTravel #taikooli #TravelChinaByYourself

#discoverchina The architecture of Chengdu Taikoo Li is unique, blending traditional Chengdu cultural features with modern elements to create a distinctive urban style.

There are plenty of picturesque places to visit, making it a great location for photos and memories.

#TravelChina This is a tea shop that Thai people really like. No matter where you go, they will look for where it is open. For example, this branch has 2 floors in Chengdu, on the walkway from Chunxi Road metro to Taikoo Li. This shop is beautifully decorated, with a very cool theme. There is a QR code in front of the shop, so we can use WeChat to scan and order the tea menu we want. We ordered bubble milk tea and guava juice + grape tea smoothie, which were very delicious and fragrant. There were guava pieces in it, which went together very well. The price was 18 yuan per glass. While waiting for the tea, we can walk up to the second floor to take pictures. On the top floor, there is an LED screen on the wall that changes images continuously, which is very cool. Sometimes, the shop logo will be displayed, and sometimes, hey tea chengdu will be displayed, like the one we took. It has become another landmark where you can come to take pictures and check in. There are rumors that it will open in Thailand soon. We have to see if it will be as fragrant and delicious as in China. Also, will the price be too high? #Chengdu #heytea #TravelChinaByYourself
