Recently, a lot of friends in the background have privately messaged me, saying that they want to go out and have fun, and ask me if I have any recommendations.
To be honest, there are really too many places to visit in China in recent years, each with its own characteristics, and it's really hard to say.
However, after thinking about it, I think there are three places that are really worth visiting, and it is best to experience them before the age of 50, and the feeling is definitely completely different.
Why?
听patience慢道来。
1. Chengdu: Ba Shi is very good, and I don't want to leave when I come
Hey, when it comes to Chengdu, the first word that pops up in my mind is "Bashi".
It's like a lazy afternoon, and you can't help but want to relax and enjoy life slowly.
Chengdu is good, that is soaked in the bones, from a bowl of soybean milk fritters in the early morning, to the roadside stalls in the middle of the night strings of incense, all reflect the Chengdu people's "comfortable" attitude to life.
In the early morning, you can start your day with a steaming bowl of tofu brain and crispy fried dough sticks at one of the breakfast bars on the street.
After you are full, you can go to the wide and narrow alleys to feel the charm of old Chengdu, taste authentic gaiwan tea, listen to the old people set up the dragon gate array, and feel the traces of the passage of time.
In the afternoon, go to Wuhou Temple to visit Prime Minister Zhuge to feel the charm of the culture of the Three Kingdoms, or go to Du Fu's thatched cottage to wander in the ocean of poetry and feel the romantic feelings of the poet.
In the evening, go to Jinli to experience the nightlife of Chengdu, where the lights are brilliant, the voices are boiling, and all kinds of snacks and specialties are dazzling, which makes people dizzy.
Of course, if you come to Chengdu, if you don't eat hot pot, it will be in vain.
The red oil is tumbling, the aroma is tangy, hairy belly, duck intestines, yellow throat ...... Everything is a delicacy in the world.
