The autumn weather in Chengdu is so fierce, it’s too hot during the day, I only dare to go out after sunset and plunge into the healing food of the night market. Pidu District in the western suburbs of Chengdu - a night market gathering place that I have loved recently. The subway is directly connected here, there are many schools, affordable food, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, · 1️⃣Pidu Night Market Dongdajie Night Market is the childhood memory of countless people in Pixian County. When the lanterns are first lit, the red walls and yellow tiles are full of smoke and fire. Toilet skewers, crispy meat and tofu pudding, worm potatoes, beef slices, Clothes, jewelry, toys... delicious and easy to shop. 🚇Line 6-Get off at Heping Street Station, which can be reached by 🚍 or 🚲. · 2️⃣United Night Market Outside the School of Communication, the treasure night market is very cost-effective. The handsome guys and beauties passing by from time to time are very eye-catching. Grandpa’s chicken noodle soup and mother-in-law’s twice-cooked pork stir-fried noodles are both filling. The deep-fried skewers paired with glutinous rice cake and ice powder are just right, and the fruits are also affordable.

| Ancient Temples × Mountaintop Tea × Mystical Forests. 🌿Explore Mount Lingyan in Dujiangyan: Hidden Hiking Gems | Ancient Temples × Mountaintop Tea × Mystical Forests Near Chengdu, there's a magical mountain forgotten by time—Mount Lingyan ⛰️. Here, ancient trees tower into the sky, clouds and mist swirl, and the serenity of thousand-year-old temples blends with the tranquility of mountaintop tea houses. A favorite "divine route" among hiking enthusiasts, it lacks the crowds of Mount Qingcheng's front mountain, offering a unique and secluded tranquility ✨. Today, join me on this mystical forest path and experience the poetic fusion of hiking and nature. 🚶♀️Route Highlights Lingyan Mountain Boardwalk—Lingyan Ancient Path—Lingyan Ancient Street—Yunzuo Tea House—Lingyan Academy 📌Approx. 7 km | ⏳Duration: 3.5 hrs | 🌟Difficulty: ★★ 👨👩👧👦Suitable for all ages | 🍁🌸❄️Scenic year-round 🌳Stop 1: Lingyan Zen Wonderland: Forest Bathing on the Boardwalk Starting from the Erwang Temple parking lot in Dujiangyan, gently ascend along the "Lingyan Zen Wonderland" boardwalk. Towering fragrant nanmu and ginkgo trees on both sides intertwine to form a green canopy🍃. In late autumn, golden leaves carpet the stone steps🍂, and the soft pine needles underfoot rustle. Mist hangs in the air☁️, occasionally punctuated by birdsong🐦, as if stepping into a fairytale forest from a Miyazaki film. Looking back from the mountainside, the city of Dujiangyan appears and disappears like a traditional Chinese ink painting🎨. 🏮Stop 2: Lingyan Ancient Street: A Glimpse into the Past This ancient bluestone street is a must-see before reaching the summit! Wooden houses in the Sichuan style, adorned with faded red lanterns, line the street. A friendly little yellow dog🐕 wags its tail at the corner, becoming a "lucky charm" for hikers. The firewood-cooked douhua rice🔥 at the end of the street is a hidden gem—soft douhua dipped in chili sauce🌶️, a mountain delicacy that touches the soul! (⚠️Tip: Bring cash💵! The signal on the mountain often "disappears.") 🍵Stop 3: Yunzuo Tea House: Cliffside Relaxation Passing through the ancient street, halfway up the mountain, lies the cliffside Yunzuo Tea House. Built with old Yunnan wood, the tea house offers stunning views of the rolling sea of clouds☁️. Brew a pot of Pu'er tea over a charcoal fire, and let the tea aroma dance with the mountain breeze🌬️. The owner jokes, "Time here isn't for rushing, but for wasting⏳." Sitting and watching the clouds, you might forget whether you're in the mortal world or a fairyland✨. 📖Stop 4: Lingyan Academy × Ancient Temple: A Thousand Years of Zen The final stop is the Lingyan Academy, nestled deep in the forest! Thousands of books📚 line the shelves between the blue tiles and white walls. Sunlight☀️ streams through the carved window lattices onto the ancient texts, inviting a sense of reverence. Further up, the bell🔔 of Lingyan Temple echoes, ancient nanmu trees embrace the temple, and the lingering incense dispels all restlessness.
