We visited Chengdu, China during the Golden Week Holiday, which is China's longest holiday. We tried to visit the popular spots Kuanzhai Alley and Taikoo Li, but were unable to due to the massive crowds. We then decided to head further out of the city the next day to Anren Ancient Town, and had an amazing day trip there.

Xiuren and Chelsea's Chengdu adventure during China's Golden Week was a mix of bustling crowds and serene escapes. Their initial plan to explore Kuanzhai Alley and Taikoo Li was thwarted by overwhelming tourist numbers. Undeterred, they embarked on a delightful day trip to the charming Anren Ancient Town, experiencing local life and cuisine. This unexpected detour proved to be a highlight, offering a peaceful contrast to the city's frenetic energy. The vlog captures the essence of their journey, from navigating crowded streets to savoring authentic meals.
