Hot 3|
Welcome to Chengdu. Now I’m not talking about the city that you might be familiar with, but a whole brand-new one, where the Sun is taking a long time off now and Thor just hates to leave.
So, before you start visiting this new Chengdu, there are three tips for you to keep in mind.
The first is to choose a hotel that far away from any river and remember to book a room on high floor, the higher, the better. And you might be surprised, no matter where you choose to stay, you would get a room with the grand river-view.
The second tip is to choose the way of transportation right. The car is a big no-no. Yesterday, it took me a whole hour to drive from software park D to E, literally to cross a street, three-minutes-walk at top.
And it’s not just about traffic jam. I was heading home, but traffic control made it almost impossible. There is a bridge on the way, and bridge at that time means Red alarm, means No traffic allowed. So, after an hour, I found I was just heading back to where I started, so I had to park my car and walked home.
Okay, let’s back to the choice of transportation. If you choose to explore this city by car, it’s highly likely that you might find that it’s not the car but a boat you are driving.
Public transport like bus, Metro might work but never head into one without referring to the latest transportation notice.
And you need to be very innovative like this man. He tried almost all the APPs like Didi, Uber but all failed, so he booked a goods delivery service online. When the driver arrived, he asked:” Where’s your goods?” and the man said: “Here, it’s me.”
All in all, a boat might be your perfect choice. The only question is: where to park the boat? So, perhaps you need to get a portable boat.
The third tip is to dress right. Just find something that makes you look less awkward when you get soaked—believe me, you’ll get soaked anyway.
I know it sounds like surreal but that’s what happened yesterday in Chengdu. And don’t worry about us. As long as there is spicy food, we can always know how to make fun. In fact, you can find a lot posts like these in our Moments:
Finally know what’s the use of these holes for!
And message from my son’s badminton coach:
