TIPS

In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic broke out, and China was closed off like the Sleeping Beauty in a fairy tale. By around May, the situation gradually came under control, and cities began to return to their normal lives. After staying at home for nearly half a year, the restless heart started to stir, and I began to plan the long-awaited trip to Sichuan.

Kuixinglou Street

This little street is not far from the Kuanzhai Alley. After giving way to tourists, the locals started to play on several parallel streets. It started with Paotong Tree Street and Xiaotong Alley, with a group of stylish cafes, tea houses, and private restaurants. After several rotations, it gradually stabilized. Now, the most atmospheric place should be the KuiXing Building Street. There are tea houses, various graffiti on the walls, and creative markets along the street. Besides the impressive graffiti, outdoor tea and coffee places, and several creative shops, the most important thing is that even before nightfall, you can already see many people sitting outside the restaurants on both sides.

Huanglong Scenic Area

Huanglong Scenic Area is located at the foot of Xuebaoding, the main peak of Minshan Mountain. It is a limestone ridge that gradually rises from south to north, resembling a soaring dragon resting in the embrace of the snow-capped glaciers. Huanglong Gou is about 7.5km long and 1.5km wide. From the mouth of the valley, the dragon's ridges undulate, with numerous streams and waterfalls cascading down, as if the dragon is playing with water. The colorful rhododendrons, fiery red maple leaves, and shimmering golden sedges on the mountainside complement the vibrant colored pools, creating a breathtaking landscape. The main attractions in Huanglong include Yingbin Pool, Flying Waterfall Flowing Splendor, Washing Body Cave, Golden Sands, Bonsai Pool, Mirror Reflecting Pool, Colorful Pool, Huanglong Cave, Five-Color Pool, Flower Transformation Pool, and Huanglong Ancient Temple.
