6 recommended self-driving attractions around Chengdu

If you want to select the "happiest city", Chengdu must be the first to have a name. After all, Chengdu has so much delicious food, including the best hot pot. In addition, there are countless beautiful mountains and rivers and famous scenic spots. However, today I am here to share with you some off-the-beaten-path self-driving attractions in Chengdu. In addition to Kuanzhai Alley, Jiuyan Bridge, Wuhou Temple, and Jinli, Chengdu has these places that are definitely worth visiting!

Chengdu Yuanyang Tower

Yuan Yang Building is located in the 18th courtyard of Hongwa Temple Street in Chengdu. It is an old red-brick residential building built in the 1970s and 1980s, and also a popular photography spot in Chengdu. It is near the Sichuan Conservatory of Music. Yuan Yang Building became famous for its old architecture and unique "Z"-shaped staircase and is great for taking photos! Besides the rooms that have been transformed into photography studios, many local residents still live here.
Xicun Dain is located in Qingyang District, Chengdu. It is a creative park that combines sports, leisure, and office spaces. The most famous rooftop track is here! The entire courtyard is built around a large green lawn, with numerous creative shops and studios arranged around it. The buildings here are mainly characterized by a rough industrial style in gray and black, complemented by surrounding dense bamboo forests, making it particularly suitable for portrait photography. You can also come here on weekends for sports or a leisurely walk.
The East Suburban Memory is known as the "London West End of China". Its predecessor was the old site of the state-owned Hongguang Electron Tube Factory, which was established in the early 1950s. After being utilized and transformed, the distinctive industrial heritage of the factory has been preserved, and cultural creativity has been integrated, resulting in the combination of industrial style and anime elements that we see now. It can be said that any corner of the East Suburban Memory is picturesque for taking photos.

Chengdu Sansheng Township Maria Colorful Garden

I think every girl has dreamed of having her own garden, and in San Sheng Township in Chengdu, a man has achieved it by designing and building his own "Maria Colorful Garden". The garden has hundreds of plant species, each carefully tended to by him and his wife. Every corner of the garden is meticulously designed by them. It is primarily a Japanese-style garden, not very big, but exceptionally delicate. You can wear the most fairy-like dress and take crazy pictures in this garden, or simply sit back, relax, and enjoy a cup of tea.

Gaoxin Mao Ye Center

Located on Tianfu Avenue in Chengdu, the Gaoxin Maoye Center is an emerging landmark building and commercial office. What makes it particularly special is its Hong Kong internet celebrity check-in location - the same kind of courtyard with stone slabs. It's love at first sight! It's definitely worth checking in and taking photos. But it's best to go on weekends when it's less crowded during weekdays and can be inconvenient for posing.

Wolong China Giant Panda Sanctuaries-Shenshuping Base

The famous Wolong Giant Panda Nature Reserve is well known, but few people know about Xiongmaoping in Gengda Town, Wenchuan County. It is about a 2-hour drive from Chengdu, with beautiful mountains, flowing water, lush trees, and herds of cattle and sheep... It is a little-known paradise-like town. Don't miss it if you enjoy hiking and getting close to nature.
