A trip to Chengdu is not complete without a visit to Kuanzhai Alley!

📍Address: Kuanzhai Alley, Jinhe Road, Qingyang District 🚇Transportation: People's Park Station (Line 2), Kuanzhai Alley Station (Line 4) 🎫Tickets: Free, open 24 hours 🌈Kuanzhai Alley is made up of three parallel streets: Kuan Alley, Zhai Alley, and Jing Alley. The names of the alleys are said to have come from a city survey during the Republic of China. After measuring the streets, the surveyors named the widest alley "Kuan Alley," the narrowest alley "Zhai Alley," and the alley with a well "Jing Alley." 🌈Kuan Alley has the most and best-preserved old buildings in the area. It's a great place to enjoy a cup of tea, eat authentic Sichuan cuisine, and experience the local culture. 🌈Zhai Alley is home to late Qing and early Republic of China architecture and early Western-style buildings. It's a great place to enjoy Western food and culture, art, and leisure. 🌈Jing Alley is a microcosm of Chengdu's folk culture. In addition to the fascinating brick culture wall, it is also home to Chengdu's famous snacks and folk crafts. 🌈The buildings in Kuanzhai Alley are mainly ancient-style courtyards with black bricks and tiles. The courtyard gates are built in a variety of styles, and the courtyard interiors are understated and rich in cultural heritage. The double wooden doors with copper handles, high and thick wooden thresholds, beautiful bonsai, antique tea tables, and calligraphy and paintings are all worth seeing. 🌈There are also many special events in the alleys, such as the Kuanzhai Tea Party, which combines traditional tea culture with modern life. 🌈Chengdu's Kuanzhai Alley is a place full of history and culture. Take a city walk here to experience the charm of the ancient city and the vitality and prosperity of the modern city. 🌈Kuanzhai Alley is a symbol of Chengdu. It's the perfect place to experience the charm of old Chengdu.
