My best trip in Chengdu

This study trip to Chengdu has been one of the most enriching and unforgettable experiences of my life. From the very beginning, everything felt special: the atmosphere of the city, the balance between tradition and modernity, and the incredible opportunity to fully immerse ourselves in Chinese culture. Every place we visited added something unique to our journey, making it not just a trip, but a true learning experience that will stay with me for a long time.

One of the highlights was definitely the visit to the Temple of Marquis, a place full of history and meaning, where we could really feel connected to ancient China. Walking through Jinli Ancient Street right after was like stepping into another era, surrounded by traditional architecture, local food, and vibrant shops. The energy there was amazing, and it gave us a real sense of daily life in historical times.

People’s Park offered a completely different perspective. It was calm, authentic, and full of local life. Seeing people relaxing, playing games, and enjoying tea helped us understand the slower and more social side of Chengdu. In contrast, the Broad and Narrow Alleys were lively and full of character, blending tradition with modern influences in a really fascinating way. The Chengdu Museum also played an important role in our experience, allowing us to better understand the history, art, and evolution of the region through well-organized and engaging exhibitions.

One of the most memorable moments of the trip so far has been attending the Sichuan Opera. It was absolutely mesmerizing, with incredible performances, colorful costumes, and the famous face-changing technique that left us all amazed. It is definitely a highlight that I will always remember.

Even though we have already experienced so much, there are still many exciting visits ahead of us, including the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda, the ancient irrigation system, the Du Fu Thatched Cottage, and the excursion to Leshan. I am really looking forward to discovering these places, especially seeing the giant pandas and the famous Giant Buddha, which I am sure will make this journey even more incredible.

Overall, this study trip is already proving to be the perfect combination of education, cultural discovery, and personal growth. It is allowing us to learn in a completely different way, outside the classroom, through direct experience. Every moment so far has been meaningful, and I am excited for everything that is still to come. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone, because it is not just a trip, but something that truly broadens your perspective and creates lasting memories.
