Travel Notes | Enjoy Bashu (includes transportation guide)

I've been quite free these days. I was sorting through my phone's photo album and found a lot of travel photos from 2019. Thinking about the first half of this year... 2020 is really a bumpy and unforgettable year.

When the retired aunts around me start to get ready for business (especially Honghong who is traveling again), as a social animal, I have nothing but envy. Not to mention, here are some less professional photos to appease my fragile soul.

Langzhong Ancient City

When I opened the back door of the inn, I was instantly impressed by the scenery outside. The flowers were blooming just right, the sun was shining brightly, and the fatigue of running all the way disappeared instantly. Compared with other ancient cities with a strong commercial atmosphere, Langzhong is relatively well preserved. Shops in the ancient city are not allowed to install iron doors, and the doors are closed with wooden boards.

The whole city of Langzhong is not big, so even if there is no subway, taking a taxi to go to various attractions is not expensive. Taking a taxi from the ancient city to a hot pot restaurant outside only cost 15 yuan, and going to the farther Tengwang Pavilion cost more than 20 yuan.

The night in Jialing River is very pleasant. The meandering river wraps up the entire Langzhong, which was a geomantic treasure in ancient times. Just outside the ancient city is the Jialing River. There is a Taoist temple on the top of the mountain opposite. From the highest point, you can have a panoramic view of the entire Langzhong. It only costs about 20 yuan to take a taxi to the opposite side. Here there is no rip-off phenomenon , and the prices are conscientious.

Chongqing

Hongya Cave at night is not only stunning from the outside, but also very beautiful inside. I regretted going in because I had to keep going down the stairs and walking forward to get out. This is the characteristic of mountain towns. The food is a bit expensive, and many people don’t recommend eating there. It's not far from Jiefangbei and Chaotianmen Square. Get off at the subway "Xiaoshizi" station and you can finish it in one afternoon.

Many people crowded around the Hongyadong Bridge to take pictures, and several security guards repeatedly shouted the same words to control the flow of people. Honghong and I chose to walk across the Jialing River Bridge and take photos on the opposite side. It takes about 25 minutes to walk across the bridge, and there is no need to walk back, because this side of the bridge is the subway "Grand Theater" station , and the transportation is convenient. Standing far away, you can see more. Looking at the Hongya Cave and high-rise buildings opposite, I made up my mind at that time to come to Chongqing again.

Chengdu

I didn't think giant pandas were cute before, but I realized how cute they are only after seeing them in person. The tourist was even more excited than his own mother when he fell down. It’s a bit regretful that we didn’t see the baby pandas. The big ones are so cute, but the little ones are so adorable. If you don't want to spend too much money on a taxi, you can take the subway to "Panda Avenue" station and transfer to Panda Express to reach the entrance of the scenic spot.

Presenting the most stunning shadow puppet works in the Chengdu Museum, you can enter the museum for free with your ID card. Highlights: Chengdu Museum, Sichuan Art Museum, and Sichuan Provincial Library are all near the West 1 Exit of the subway "Tianfu Square" station . These places are all worth visiting.
