Kuanzhai Alley

More to Chengu then pandas ! although they are everywhere A great place to explore and see the different things going on. Lots of souveniers and people enjoying the alley.

I have been here many times and it is one of the lively neighborhoods in Chengdu. The architectural style of Ming and Qing Dynasties, historical heritage and modern business are integrated here. Shopping, eating snacks, looking at gadgets, sending postcards, very freehand.

Title: A day trip to Kuanzhai Alley in Chengdu morning, my family and I came to Chengdu Kuanzhai Alley to start a day of exploration. As soon as we entered Kuanzhai Alley, we were attracted by its strong historical atmosphere and quaint architecture. First of all, we came to Kuanzhai Alley. The spacious and tidy lanes here are surrounded by courtyard buildings with Ming and Qing styles. Walking on the bluestone road, it seems to travel back to ancient Chengdu. We strolled around and couldn't help but be attracted by various specialty shops. There are traditional handicraft shops such as wood carvings, batiks and paper cuttings, and many snack bars with a tantalizing aroma. To experience Chengdu's food culture, we decided to indulge in the temptation of food in the wide alley. We first tried traditional hot pot, spicy soup base and a variety of fresh ingredients for us to covet. Then we tasted local specialties such as Mala Tang, Bean Flower and Chopsticks, which tasted delicious and made us taste endless. Next, we came to the narrow alley. Compared with the wide alley, the narrow alley is more narrow, but more full of charm. The buildings in the narrow alley are mostly courtyards in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and the ancient gate buildings and moths and arches are all exude classical beauty. We walked through the narrow alley, admiring the beauty of the architecture, while savoring the local specialty teahouse and craft shop. In the afternoon, we arrived at the cultural square of the wide and narrow alleys. There are traditional performances in the square, such as face change, hand shadow drama and Sichuan drama, so that we can understand the cultural traditions of Sichuan more deeply. We also participated in some cultural experience activities, personally making wax dyes, paper cuttings, mud-plastics and other handicrafts, and experienced the charm of Chengdu's characteristic culture. In the evening, the lights of the wide and narrow alleys were lit, and the whole alley became more colorful. We strolled in the night, admiring the unique buildings in the alleys and feeling the charm of Chengdu at night. The day trip to the wide and narrow alleys in Chengdu was over, but the good memories will always stay in our hearts. On this day, we not only appreciate the historical style and unique architectural style of Chengdu, but also taste the rich and varied cuisine and feel the strong cultural atmosphere. Chengdu Kuanzhai Alley will definitely impress everyone who visits, and I believe it will be an unforgettable journey.

Chengdu has been there many times, this time specially to go to Samsungdui. It is super convenient to go to Samsungdui to take the scenic through train in the Kuanzhai Alley City Houji Building.
