Jinli

🎋You must come to Jinli when you come to Chengdu, otherwise, you will lose a lot!

🎭This street condenses the essence of Chengdu life: there are teahouses, inns, restaurants, bars, stages, local snacks, handicrafts, and local specialties, which fully demonstrate the unique charm of the Three Kingdoms culture and Sichuan folk customs.

💁‍♀️Here I want to say to those girls and guys who are still hesitant, come if you want, and go on a trip at any time!

🍵Drinking tea is probably the favorite pastime of Chengdu people. There are also teahouses in Jinli, and they are quite crowded.

🎭The main street in the middle of Jinli sells Sichuan handicrafts. There are two roads further in. The left side is a snack street for foodies, and the right side is mostly bars and inns.

👜Shopping here will always make you linger, and here are also a collection of Sichuan's very distinctive and well-known snacks. If you haven't had a big meal for a long time, then come to Sichuan Jinli and eat like crazy.

🥢The shops sell chopsticks, tea leaves, lanterns, silk quilts and local specialties. The restaurants sell beef pot cakes, three cannons and pig intestines rice noodles. Every bite is for the taste. There is no fancy or gimmick, but the emphasis is on affordability.

🎭There are also craftsmen’s toys, such as making clay figures, turning sugar paintings, and buying paper-cuts. They are all things that contain childish fun. Nostalgia is also a remembrance of the simple happiness of childhood.

🏮The colorful lanterns and signs on the street are vulgar, but they are lively. But the most eye-catching thing on the street is the lifestyle, where old and young people eat melon seeds and play cards in the bar, drink foreign wine, and speak soft Chengdu dialect.

🚪Hundred-year-old wooden doors and thousand-year-old stone roads. Crossbow shooting, brocade weaving, inns, and the sound of gongs, trace the passing years; embroidery, bamboo weaving, pawnshops, and sedan chairs, evoke dusty memories.

On the ancient street, people follow the crowd, and all kinds of arrangements on the roadside show a sense of exquisiteness and meticulousness.

🎭Wandering around Jinli in a playful and relaxed manner, nostalgic people have an outlet for their emotions, food lovers satisfy their appetites, and Three Kingdoms fans fully experience the Three Kingdoms culture here. In fact, people are more likely to experience a traditional culture and understand the diversity of life. Jinli shows the scenes of the real world, but its core is a thousand-year-old culture.

🎋Chengdu is a place for leisure, you won’t want to leave once you come; Chengdu is a place for culture, you will want to come back once you visit.

💰A commercial street that carries the culture of the Three Kingdoms and the customs of Chengdu folk customs. Admission is free. After visiting the Wuhou Temple, you may as well go to Jinli to eat and shop and enjoy the leisurely life of Chengdu people.

💰Comparing several scenic spots during this trip to Chengdu, I think the prices in Jinli are relatively reasonable. For example, the same folding screen ornament sells for 58 yuan in Jinli, while it costs 88 to 118 yuan in Kuanzhai Alley.

🥢There are many delicious foods here, and you can taste all kinds of Chengdu special snacks. Liao Ji Bang Bang Chicken and Toilet Chuanchuan are especially recommended. They are delicious and cheap; but perhaps in order to cater to tourists from all sides, I always feel that the taste has been obviously improved and is not authentic enough.

🎭There are also many folk craftsmen setting up stalls, such as paper cutting, shadow puppetry, clay figurines, sugar painting, egg carving art, etc. If you want to buy souvenirs, many shops sell panda and Three Kingdoms-themed handicrafts, which are dazzling and cheaper than Kuanzhai Alley.

🚬There is a very formal cigarette shop with a very large storefront. If you want to buy cigarettes, start here. I randomly compared a pack of cigarettes and it was 20 yuan more expensive at the airport.

🏮Jinli Ancient Street is next to the Wuhou Temple. There are all kinds of cute things, snacks and handicrafts here.

🎭A place that brings together Chengdu's food, folk customs and literature, with a business model similar to that of ancient towns and streets in most cities

💰Tickets: free

⏰Opening hours: 5:00-23:00

🏮You must come to Jinli at night. The night view is very beautiful, with big red lanterns hanging high, forming a sea of ​​red.

🎭In the Jinli that is the same for many people, it does not cause much boredom for me

🌿It is quite enjoyable to wander among the crowds at night, visit art shops, and try various snacks.

🏮Jinli has traditional lanterns, down-to-earth folk shows and endless food from all over the world.

There is another bonus scenery - the endless stream of tourists >.<

I don't think Jinli is as good as Kuanzhaixiang. Although Kuanzhaixiang is crowded, the houses on both sides of the street look well-arranged and unique, with a hint of cultural heritage. Jinli is developed entirely in the form of a commercial street, with loft-style blocks, and it looks like a paradise for foodies.

The stone archway in Jinli has "Jinli" written on the front, and couplets on both sides: "The icing on the cake adds brilliance to the temple and the temple is established, and the city inherits the cultural affairs. The couplets on the stone archway were written by Mr. Shen Bojun, a researcher at the Sichuan Academy of Social Sciences, executive vice president and secretary-general of the Chinese "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" Society, and director of the Sichuan Three Kingdoms Culture Research Institute, and written by Deng Daikun.

It is next to Wuhou Temple. It is worth going there to find food after visiting Wuhou Temple~~ They are all delicious~~ There is a golden silk cake, which can be seen in the picture. I suggest you don’t buy it. It looks good but it is not delicious. It has no taste. It is better to buy pot cakes... There is a store called "Yushang Life" at the north end. I also visited it by accident. The panda dolls in her store are very good, exquisitely made, and quite beautiful~~ The price is naturally not cheap, but the dolls in the stalls are not cheap either, so you can come to her store to have a look~~

You can directly enter Jinli after exiting the back door of Wuhou Temple. "Jinli", as the name implies, is an amusement and leisure area composed of a series of alleys that are full of wonders and beautiful scenery. There are not only a variety of unique delicacies here, but also a wide range of handicrafts. Walking among them is really dazzling and curious. In addition, if you want to eat here, it is best to choose Tongquetai, because this restaurant has several advantages that tourists cannot refuse: 1. Good quality, low price, and delicious taste; 2. Elegant environment, pleasant temperament, and music accompanies people, which makes people eat more; 3. There are small bridges and flowing water outside the door, as if you are in an ancient town in the south of the Yangtze River, happy and happy, isn't it!

I have seen Jinli in many time periods. Uncles and aunts have just cleaned up the streets in the early morning. No one is walking in the long alleys. I meet a girl like lilac.

Jinli is very lively during the day and night, with many tourists. Compared with the daytime, there are more people drinking tea, and more people in the bars at night. When night falls and the lights come on, it is the most charming and enchanting moment in Jinli.

I have been to Jinli many times and I find many new things every time.

I took the ball to check in. I bought it from the specialty store opposite here and brought it back to Shanghai. This time, it is truly a glorious return to its hometown. The large red lanterns indicate that the Spring Festival is coming. Panda-shaped ceramics, Kung Fu Panda doing Tai Chi. Although I have heard of the name of Chengdu skewers for a long time, I have never really tried to eat skewers in so many years. I was amazed at the first time I ate it. I thought it would be very spicy and greasy, but I didn’t expect it to be not spicy at all. It was delicious with a hint of sweetness. Once you eat it, you can’t stop without dozens of skewers. I had red oil dumplings and wontons for lunch. The price is not cheap, but the taste is very ordinary. I filled my stomach and continued to look for snacks. Bobo chicken tastes very similar to cold skewers, but it mainly sells chicken offal, and the price is relatively low. You can eat 20 skewers for 30 yuan.

I went to visit Jinli Ancient Street again in the evening. There was a temple fair today, but there was traffic control. I could only park outside Wuhou Street and walk one kilometer to get in. At night, all kinds of craftsmen performed, all kinds of strange street snacks, beggar chicken made on the spot, and the aroma was overflowing. Jinli Ancient Street was holding a Spring Festival temple fair, which was very lively. Although it was already 10 o'clock in the evening, it was still crowded. Before leaving Jinli, I wanted to buy a sister for Qiuqiu to take home, but the workmanship of the same panda was not as good as Qiuqiu, and the quality had declined, so I didn't buy it. I hope to buy a better quality one next time.

Jinli Ancient Street·Splendid Beauty

I believe many people have heard of Jinli Ancient Street. It is located in Chengdu, Sichuan, the land of abundance. It is a city that is easily shrouded in mist and rain, which also gives this ancient street a mysterious veil.

Jinli Ancient Street is close to Wuhou Temple. It is neither wide nor narrow. There are red lanterns hanging at the gate. It stretches deep into the ancient street. There is a small ditch on the roadside. The water is flowing. There are many small water plants in the river. The water is clear and you can see the bottom. If the weather gets warmer, there may be goldfish. (Snow)

Where there are beautiful scenery, there are naturally delicious foods (cheers). There are many delicious foods in Jinli Ancient Street, not to mention snacks. There are big plaques hanging on each store, and there are all kinds of food and drinks. Spicy, spicy, and slightly spicy are all available. There are antiques and paper fans everywhere. (Eye-envying bee)

The lights on Jinli are on. At night, it is dazzling, and the colorful lights on the street illuminate the street. Everything seems to be colorful and full of vitality. (Heartbroken Bee) (But because we visited on a weekday this time, we knew that the lanterns in Jinli were not lit at night) (Heartbroken Bee)

Looking down the street, it is full of people, some are shopping for various street snacks, some are browsing the shops looking at various exquisite goods, and tourists are everywhere. (Snickering little ant) ​​(Consumption is relatively normal)

This place is different from Kuanzhai Alley. I heard from the locals that Kuanzhai Alley is a tourist street built later. Compared with Kuanzhai Alley, Jinli has a sense of "down-to-earth" radiating from the inside out. (Smart Bee)

If you are new to Chongqing, you can come to Jinli to experience the lively atmosphere, but there are relatively more people. If you want to experience a relatively new folk street, then I personally think that Kuanzhai Alley is also a good choice! (Goodbye Xiaofeng)

In the afternoon, we started to visit Jinli. Jinli is adjacent to Wuhou Temple, and there is actually a small path connecting the two. The buildings are antique, as if we were back in the Tianfu market of the past. However, there are really too many people, and it is very hot. As a folk experience area, there are naturally many folk displays and performances. It is still very interesting. Of course, there are all kinds of shops, only you can't think of it. From various specialties, to skewers of hot pot, to Sichuan opera in teahouses, to Starbucks, not to mention the simple tents set up on the roadside. It is really lively and noisy. Don't underestimate this inconspicuous red light in the alley during the day. At night, it is the most representative scene in Jinli. We look forward to meeting it again at night. At nearly eight o'clock, night fell, and we also looked forward to returning to Jinli. In Jinli at night, the number of people did not decrease at all, but rather increased. Fortunately, the coolness of the night neutralized the noise, and the heart calmed down. The big red lanterns were lit, and the excessive commercialization melted into the night, and it seemed that the real appearance of Jincheng was revealed here. I saw many beautiful lanterns: the alley that was ordinary during the day seemed to be transformed after the red lights were on. Walking slowly through the narrow alley, it was as if I had returned to Jincheng in the past, and for a moment I forgot to leave. We left at almost ten o'clock, and the crowd gradually dispersed. At this time, Jinli finally showed some tranquility, and the present overlapped with the past. If you live nearby, it is best to come and see Jinli at this time.

One of the representatives of Chengdu, but I don't like it. There are all kinds of small stalls inside, like the one in Shanghai Chenghuang Temple, with a lot of people, noisy, not cheap, and I don't know if the taste is authentic. The prices of the bars and coffee shops inside are relatively high, and the price of bowl-covered tea is twice as high as other places. It is recommended to drink it in People's Park and Du Fu Thatched Cottage. It looks better at night when the lights are on. You can take pictures and walk around at night.

Actually, before I came to Jinli, I always thought that the name was related to the ornamental fish "koi". In fact, it comes from: "Huayang Guozhi Shuzhi" by Chang Qu of the Jin Dynasty. It really requires people with a certain literary foundation to understand the details. Anyway, I don't think I understand it. . .

Jinli is as popular with tourists as Kuanzhai Alley. If you want to take a photo with fewer people, unless you have a big enough human wall, you'd better stand farther away like us and take a half-body close-up photo.

The old buildings with a long history represent the age of Jinli. There are various specialty food shops on both sides of the small streets, but the goods are similar.

Compared with Kuanzhai, Jinli is more downtown and the consumption is more down-to-earth.

There is a place called Jieyilou in Jinli. There is a project for costume photography. From costumes to makeup to props to photography and prices, I am very satisfied. Of course, the most satisfying thing is the photo effect. The photographers are very handsome and guide the movements very well. Their work attitude and photography level are very high! He also said something that touched my heart: "I haven't taken such a handsome Zhao Yun in a long time!"

To experience Chengdu, Jinli is the first choice. Perhaps many people think that this is just a commercial ancient street, and perhaps many people regard it as the "Muslim Street" of Chengdu; but for those who really understand Chengdu, Jinli is the most quaint and interesting old street, with ancient and orderly bluestone slabs paved on the road. Walking on it will make you understand the atmosphere of old Chengdu.

The relics left over from thousands of years of history, each of which can give you different gains

This ancient street brings together special snacks, tourist souvenirs and representative cultural products from various prefectures and cities in Sichuan.

Personally, I think Jinli is a place you should visit when you come to Chengdu, whether for food or entertainment.

As a food street, Jinli has more food than Kuanzhai Alley, especially the streets around Three Kingdoms Street and Guanyu Statue, which are full of various snacks, including the common pineapple rice and chicken wings wrapped in rice, as well as many representative snacks in Sichuan, such as bacon ribs, duck intestines, rabbit cubes, rabbit heads, etc. There is everything you need, and there are plenty of choices.

Jinli and Kuanzhai Alley are must-go places no matter day or night, similar to Tianzifang in Shanghai and Nanluoguxiang in Beijing. While they are commercialized, they still retain local characteristics, such as various shops selling chili peppers, ear cleaning, and big bowls of tea.

I am very interested in the various chili peppers sold in Jinli. After all, this is very Chengdu. Like most local specialties nowadays, they are delivered nationwide and free shipping for large quantities.

Of course, Jinli is also home to many craft beer bars and small romantic spots.

Chengdu's Jinli Ancient Town is somewhat similar to Shanghai's Chenghuang Temple, with a variety of local snacks and quaint buildings, and is also filled with bustling foreign tourists.

The whole scenic area is quite large, and it takes about two or three hours to walk around slowly. If you have time, you can sit down and listen to a play, drink a cup of tea, and travel through time.

Friends who like photography can also come here to check out the various lantern shapes that are worth taking pictures of.

Walking on such a street, my strongest feeling is: there are so many delicious foods! We saw a lot of beef tofu, Sanhe Ni, sugar-coated fruit, peeing beef balls, stinky tofu, oil tea, hot and sour pork intestines noodles, Bobo chicken, etc. along the way. I really want to stop and have a full meal.

The architecture here is also very unique, and it feels like an ancient building. If you want, you can drink tea and watch face-changing here.

Jinli is right next to the Wuhou Temple. Visiting Jinli was the most painful experience I have had today. It was so crowded that it was almost impossible to move!

There is also ear cleaning in Jinli. If there are not many people, it should be a good experience to have ear cleaning here!

"Panda elements" can be seen in too many places in Chengdu, which shows that the people of Chengdu and the whole country love giant pandas.

Jinli is free of charge. It is an antique commercial street and one of the most popular attractions in Chengdu. The whole street is full of Three Kingdoms culture and retro style. It is also part of the Chengdu Wuhou Temple Museum. Here, you can appreciate the craftsmanship of clay figurines and sugar paintings, and you can also visit shops with Three Kingdoms characteristics (there are many clay sculptures and dolls of Three Kingdoms characters). Of course, the most attractive thing on the street is the street snacks. The most popular ones should be buckwheat noodles, three big cannons, fried stinky tofu, etc. If you want to eat something on this street, you can eat it. You can sit down at any time in various teahouses, cafes, bars, inns, etc.

At dusk, Jinli lights up. I wonder how much more beautiful it is at night than during the day.

Jinli is really ancient and quaint. The doors of each shop are made of door panels pieced together. You probably have to piece together the door panels to close the stall at night. I have only seen this in costume dramas.

There are so many people in Jinli! New Year, new atmosphere, visit "Jinli" to change your luck! It is right next to the Wuhou Temple, and the flow of people is really too large! The particularly pitfall is that the sign at the door says it is a one-way street. Following the exits written on the sign inside, I walked through several closed exits. In the end, I had to go back the same way and walked for a long time before I got out. It's full of food and shopping. The commercial atmosphere is a bit strong. It feels like it's all for tourists. A 20-yuan roasted brain flower has potatoes underneath. I tried the crowded Li Changqing Three Cannons, but it was not delicious. It was the first time I had sugar-coated fruit, and it was delicious! Only five yuan! There was also a King's Grilled Sausage that was delicious! Jinli is not suitable for shopping or eating, but for strolling around. It's better to save your stomach to eat at the restaurants outside~

Jinli was once one of the oldest and most commercial streets in the history of Western Sichuan. It was well-known throughout the country as early as the Qin and Han Dynasties and the Three Kingdoms Period. Now, Jinli covers an area of ​​more than 30,000 square meters, with a construction area of ​​more than 14,000 square meters and a street length of 550 meters. It is covered with Sichuan folk houses from the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, and contains the Three Kingdoms culture and Chengdu folk customs. It integrates tourism, shopping, leisure and entertainment.

The handicrafts sold on both sides of the street are quite local, such as puppets, paper-cuts, mobile phone cases, clay figurines... and many old Chengdu craftsmen are blowing sugar paintings and kneading dough figurines. In addition, the various delicacies will definitely make you salivate, such as cold noodles, tofu pudding, flower desserts, etc., each with its own flavor.

Walking along the street, you can see red lanterns hanging high, flags fluttering, small bridges flowing water, pavilions in the shade, people chatting on the bridge, or drinking tea by the window, strolling leisurely, feeling that I have been infected by the leisure style of Chengdu...

Shopping here will always make you linger, and here is also a collection of Sichuan's famous snacks. If you haven't had a big meal for a long time, then come to Sichuan Jinli and eat like crazy.

The shops sell chopsticks, tea, lanterns, silk quilts and local specialties. The colorful lanterns and signs on the street make it lively. But the most eye-catching thing on the street is the lifestyle, where young and old eat melon seeds and play cards in bars, drink foreign wine, and speak the soft Chengdu dialect.

Hundred-year-old wooden doors and thousand-year-old stone roads. Crossbow shooting, brocade weaving, inns, and the sound of gongs trace the passing years; embroidery, bamboo weaving, pawnshops, and sedan chairs evoke dusty memories.



On the ancient street, people follow the crowd, and all kinds of arrangements on the roadside show a sense of exquisiteness and meticulousness.

Just strolling around Jinli in a playful and relaxed manner, nostalgic people have an outlet for their emotions, food lovers satisfy their appetites, and Three Kingdoms fans fully experience the Three Kingdoms culture here. In fact, people are more likely to experience a traditional culture and understand the diversity of life. Jinli shows the scenes of the real world, but its core is a thousand-year-old culture.

We came to Jinli, which is right next to the Wuhou Temple. The two are very close and can be reached in a few minutes. Jinli is actually a place for shopping, but the shops here are decorated in an antique style. Almost every shop has a few strings of red lanterns hanging, which constitutes the unique scenery of Jinli Street, which is my favorite style. The second child likes skewers the most. She ordered seven by herself and ate them with relish. I watched her enjoy the happiness brought to her by the skewers all the way. It was dinner time, and I was also very hungry, but the shops I saw were all selling spicy food. I finally saw a shop that didn’t put spicy food, so I ordered a bowl of jelly, which was 15 yuan for a small bowl. Later I found out that I was ripped off. The shop a few steps down only sold 5 yuan. The second child ordered a bowl of wonton, which was also 15 yuan, but only 6 pieces, which was also ripped off. It is recommended that people who buy snacks in Jinli should "shop around" first.

There are so many panda dolls. I really like them. They are very cute, but they are very expensive. I picked them up, looked at them, touched them, and then put them down and left. I walked around and looked for nearly two hours.

Jinli is right next to the Wuhou Temple

It is an ancient commercial street, which can be traced back to the Qin and Han Dynasties.

Delicacies include Zhang Fei beef, three cannons, and pig intestine rice noodle. Folk crafts include clay figurines, sugar paintings, paper-cuts, lanterns, and banners.

The consumption in Jinli, an ancient commercial street, is very high. I was tired after walking in Jinli, so I found a teahouse and ordered 2 cups of tea, which cost more than 100 yuan.

So consume rationally while inside.

If you really want to come to Jinli, Tip 1: It is best to come here at night. I personally feel that it feels better at night. You can consider going to Kuanzhai Alley during the day. Tip 2: Be sure to pay attention to your personal property, because there are so many people in Jinli, so safety is the most important thing.

I like visiting Jinli not only because of the delicious food here. I personally think that the night in Jinli is really beautiful. The big red lanterns are hung high, illuminating the whole Jinli. It is full of Chinese flavor and makes tourists indulge in it.

Of course, the first thing tourists who come to Jinli have to do is eat delicious food. As a famous commercial street in Chengdu, you can eat delicious food from all over the world. Of course, there are also local snacks in Chengdu, such as the three big cannons, skewers, spicy rabbit heads, etc.

Of course, there are so many delicious foods in Jinli that it is hard to list them all. For example, there are some local specialty drinks, kiwi wine and peach blossom wine. They are small and unique and very suitable for taking back home. In the final analysis, if you want to eat and drink with curiosity, Jinli is still a good choice.

Although I didn't make any travel plans in advance, the itinerary for the day was the same as the mainstream online travel plans, that is, the daytime was reserved for Kuanzhai Alley and the night was reserved for Jinli, which was a high evaluation of Jinli's night scenery. If we must compare the two, the style of Kuanzhai Alley is more literary and petty bourgeois, which can be said to be new wine in an old bottle (or the kind that is deliberately old); Jinli is more folk and down-to-earth, with many snacks and prominent Three Kingdoms culture.

Turning a corner from the quiet Wuhou Temple, Jinli seems to be another bustling world outside the wall. The sun has long set, and the two ginkgo trees in the distance are in full swing, as if unwilling to be drowned by the night, and are doing their best to emit the last bright colors of the day. The ancient street is truly bustling, all for food. Nostalgic people find an emotional outlet in this ancient street, and food lovers satisfy their appetite here.

I have written a travelogue about Jinli. As an ancient relic hidden in the center of Chengdu, the current Jinli Ancient Street seems to have restored its former prosperity and busyness. The western Sichuan architectural style is displayed here to the fullest. Although it has been commercialized, in ancient times, the significance of the existence of Jinli Ancient Street was also for economic trade~

As you enter the scenic area, you will be attracted by the bustle here, the old-fashioned buildings, the bright red lanterns, and the old craftsmen on both sides of the street making puppets, blowing sugar figures, and kneading dough figures. Under the skillful hands of the old craftsmen, cute shapes emerge one by one.

The street food here has a lot of similarities with the food in Kuanzhai Alley, with vendors selling tofu pudding, jelly, and chicken bang bang. After walking a few steps, you can't help but stop to look at the food, even though your stomach is still full.

The natural beauty here is also very attractive, with green lakes, lush trees, and people walking slowly appreciating the gifts of nature. I am lucky to be one of them.

Jinli, an antique commercial street, is adjacent to the Wuhou Temple. Although objectively speaking it is somewhat commercialized, it is relatively friendly to foreign tourists. It has everything from food, drink, and entertainment. In a short period of time, you can quickly feel the essence of Sichuan folk customs. It can be said that it has the best of time, place, and people, and has become one of the most lively places in Chengdu.

Compared with the deliberateness and artificiality of Kuanzhai Alley, I do prefer the naturalness and down-to-earth atmosphere of Jinli.

The streets and alleys are full of ancient charm.

Ear cleaning is one of the favorite pastimes of Chengdu people. Lie down on a bamboo chair, close your eyes, and it is said that the tingling and numb feeling is extremely ecstatic.

Walking through the streets and feeling the bustle and authenticity of the city must be the main reason why tourists linger here.

The day and night in Chengdu are like two completely different worlds. Some people say that Kuanzhai Alley seems to represent the daytime in Chengdu, while Jinli represents the nighttime in Chengdu. It is leisurely and comfortable during the day, and lively and busy at night.

When night falls, Jinli is the most lively place in Wuhou District. The old-fashioned buildings are already brightly lit, and the lanterns hanging under the eaves add an antique flavor to the night. When walking in the streets and alleys here, you may have forgotten that you are in the center of Chengdu. The century-old wooden houses and the surrounding high-rise buildings have become a completely different world.

Chengdu is known as the kingdom of food. Walking along the ancient streets of Jinli, the aroma of food is everywhere. The roadside stalls are naturally the favorite place for foodies, because here you can find the most authentic Chengdu snacks. Spicy, numb, fresh and fragrant, I can still feel the taste buds dancing on the tip of my tongue through the screen. People who know how to eat usually choose to taste a little bit of each delicacy. When walking down a street, their stomachs have already bulged, so much so that some people say that walking in Chengdu once will make them gain several pounds.

At night, the Jinli Bar was filled with familiar songs. The resident singers were really good. The crowd outside the window gradually increased, and the narrow street was suddenly blocked. After the song ended, warm applause echoed in the street. When the guitar sounded again, the tune returned to Zhao Lei's Chengdu.

Although every city in China has its own commercial pedestrian street, I personally feel that no city's pedestrian street is more flavorful than Jinli. There are not only food, literature, entertainment and other similar places here, but Jinli actually has more elements of a fusion of history and modernity, which other cities do not have. There are not many man-made landscapes here. Here you can see how the local residents live, and you can see many local specialties. Traditional craftsmen still sit in front of the stalls and carefully make their own goods.

Jinli at night still feels familiar. Pedestrians come and go on the bumpy stone road. Occasionally, you can say goodbye to the noise of the crowd by walking into an alley. The tranquility makes people thoughtful. When leaving Jinli, I can't help but turn around and look at it. I don't know when I will see it again.

Jinli is known as the street of Western Sichuan and is praised as the Chengdu version of the Qingming Shanghe Tu. Jinli presents the architectural style of Sichuan residents and displays the charm of Sichuan's traditional folk culture, making Jinli a must-visit place in Chengdu. There are also many intangible cultural heritages, such as blowing sugar figures and paper cutting. Next door is the famous Wuhou Temple, but it is just an ancestral hall, nothing special to see, so it is recommended not to go. Main attractions: architecture, cultural sculptures, intangible cultural heritage.

The only thing left to do in Jinli was to eat. I wasn't very hungry and didn't know what to eat, so I just ate some famous snacks. Sad jelly, cold cake, brown sugar pot cake, and bang bang chicken. The small statues in Jinli are very cute. I personally feel that Jinli is very small, not as big as I imagined. I walked around it in a short time, and there is really nothing to visit.

I like Jinli a little more than Kuanzhai Alley. Today, Jinli is a famous pedestrian shopping street in Chengdu. Jinli Ancient Street is backed by the Wuhou Temple in Chengdu, bordered by Jinjiang River in the north and Rainbow Bridge in the east. It has the spirit of Qin and Han Dynasties and the Three Kingdoms as its soul, the appearance of Ming and Qing Dynasties as its appearance, and the folk customs and customs of western Sichuan as its content, combining history and modernity organically. In Jinli, you can find famous snacks from almost every place in Sichuan. Although the price is more expensive than outside, if you have limited time and want to experience all the snacks,

I don't think there is a second place. If you don't eat snacks in Jinli, it will be the biggest regret. The more famous ones are the buckwheat noodles, three cannons, beef cakes, yellow fermented glutinous rice, sugar-coated fruits, etc. in the delicious street. The sweet noodles, cold noodles, and stewed dishes are all good. There is also a fried stinky tofu and potato, which are also famous Sichuan snacks. When you come to Jinli, it seems that there are always more people, including people from other provinces who speak Mandarin, but it feels that there are more people who speak Sichuan dialect.

Today, Jinli has become an antique commercial street, where you can see many antique buildings and snacks with unique Chengdu characteristics. In this quaint alley, people are bustling and passing by, some are parents with children, some are couples holding their lovers, and some are alone. In Chengdu, millions of people seem to have millions of stories! It has to be said that the handicrafts here are very exquisite, such as shadow puppet performances and the hibiscus cake of Chengdu's old memories. Some people say that Jinli is a microcosm of Chengdu. There are bangbang chicken shops, teahouses, bars, theaters and authentic snacks here to fully display the culture of the Three Kingdoms. Whenever night falls, Jinli will transform. The bars that are extremely quiet during the day gradually light up, and the resident singers interpret this city full of stories with their vicissitudes of life. It is really pleasant to come to Jinli in the afternoon to grind chili powder by hand or stroll in the alleys! The middle street of Jinli mainly sells handicrafts, and then the end is divided into two streets. The street on the left mainly sells authentic Chengdu snacks, while the street on the right is mainly bars and inns.

Outside the Wuhou Temple is Jinli, which once symbolized the lifestyle of Chengdu people. Now Jinli has become too commercialized, with only the plaques and the stage still somewhat reminiscent of the past. There are many tourists here, and there are shops selling souvenirs and snacks everywhere. The streets and alleys are a bit messy, and it is estimated that Chengdu locals don't come here often. We jokingly call Jinli the Chengdu version of Gulangyu Island. In comparison, Kuanzhai Alley looks better.

I have actually been to Jinli countless times. This time I came because after eating hot pot, I saw the Chengdu Koi at the entrance of Shumen. On a whim, I took bus No. 1 and arrived at the entrance of Jinli in half an hour. Early winter. There were tourists in Jinli at 8:30 in the evening, but not many people, not as exaggerated as I remembered. The red lanterns on both sides were still lit and slightly dyed the night sky red. The folk inn in Jinli looked good from the outside, but being in this place, I think the price would be better. There are many small shops with ethnic characteristics and ethnic crafts in Jinli, such as paper-cutting, shadow play, facial makeup, and Three Kingdoms dolls. Because the purpose of coming here is to see the night view, my grandfather and I are not in a hurry. We take our time to look and walk along the way...

The bar street in Jinli is not the pub in Yulin. Same recipe, different taste.

If you can only choose one between Kuanzhai Alley and Jinli, you must go to Jinli. Going there at night is the correct way to visit Jinli. Red lanterns are hung everywhere and the night view is beautiful.

In many shops (hot pot restaurants, Sichuan restaurants), you can watch performances (singing, face changing, Sichuan opera) while eating. Since we had hot pot two days ago, we chose to have snacks today.

Many China-TravelNote users recommend eating the Sandapons, but I personally think the taste is average; Zhang Fei beef is a must-try, it is delicious and costs about 55 yuan for half a pound.

Every city has an alley like this, bustling and bustling, with a lingering smell of the ancient city's faint smell of fireworks. In Chengdu, this street is called Jinli. You might as well sit in a teahouse and make a pot of tea, watching the crowds of people, their joys and sorrows, happiness or loss, and suddenly you will find a sense of transcendence in this noisy world.

The bustling Jinli Street is lined with snack shops. I still remember the stone I leaned against when I ate pineapple rice in Jinli last time. Unfortunately, I can’t see the glutinous rice ball throwing performance at the shop selling the three big cannons. It’s a pity that this craft is gradually declining.

The antique buildings in Jinli are quite elegant and exquisite. If you come here at night, I believe the night view will be even more beautiful.

The affairs of the world are like a dream. How much can you hold on to after waking up? In Jinli, what I like most is the lively atmosphere of the world.

At night in Jinli, countless lanterns are lit up, which adds a unique flavor. With the lanterns as the background, coupled with the blur effect of the large aperture, the light spots behind appear particularly beautiful. Find a place with suitable light and take a blockbuster movie. Behind it, there is actually a small alley full of red lanterns, and opposite there is a group of people taking photos with professional equipment.

It is really an ancient pedestrian street with many interesting small shops and a variety of delicious snacks, filled with a wide variety of Chengdu specialty snacks.

There are many delicious foods in Jinli Ancient Street... The toothpick meat is spicy and tender, and actually tastes very good.

Because the locals always say that the snacks here are not delicious and are a rip-off, so I didn’t eat much. It’s a bit regrettable. I didn’t eat any snacks in Chengdu that made me particularly memorable.

Jinli not only incorporates the life sentiment of Chengdu's red pepper, but also shows the splendid and long history of Shu, rich folk customs, and simple folk customs. Walking in it is not only to start the tour of the ancient town, but also to experience the culture of southwest Sichuan.

Jinli's alleys are crisscrossed and divided into functional areas. You can get a general understanding first and then appreciate them one by one.

I took a taxi from Caotang and went directly to Wuhou Temple. When I arrived, I found that Wuhou Temple and Jinli are next to each other. I went to Jinli first. Jinli is as famous as Kuanzhai Alley, but I feel that the styles are a little different. Jinli feels lighter and more lively. It may be that the small bridges and flowing water here add more charm. Wuhou Temple is to commemorate Zhuge Liang, and Jinli is also the place where Shu brocade was produced when Zhuge Liang ruled Shu. It is also known as the first street in Western Shu, so Jinli and Wuhou Temple should be visited together.

Jinli is an antique commercial street, one of the most popular attractions in Chengdu, and part of the Chengdu Wuhou Temple Museum. This street condenses the essence of Chengdu life: there are teahouses, inns, restaurants, bars, stages, local snacks, handicrafts, and local specialties, fully demonstrating the unique charm of the Three Kingdoms culture and Sichuan folk customs. It is best to go there when the lights are on at night.

During the Spring Festival, the flow of people was very large. We went there after 10 pm, and there were still quite a few people. Overall, it felt better than Kuanzhai Alley.

The legendary Jinli was famous as early as the Qin and Han Dynasties and the Three Kingdoms Period. It is one of the oldest and most commercial streets in the history of Western Shu.

The century-old wooden doors, the thousand-year-old stone roads, the white walls and the green tiles all describe the beautiful scenery of Jinguan City.

As you walk and stop along Jinli Ancient Street, you won’t realize that it is only a few hundred meters long.

Chengdu’s version of Along the River During the Qingming Festival—“Jinli”—is separated from the Wuhou Temple by only a wall.

The street is 550 meters long, with the dwellings of western Sichuan from the late Ming and early Qing dynasties as its outer shell, and the Three Kingdoms culture and Chengdu folk customs as its inner shell. Teahouses, theaters, wine shops, handicraft workshops, and craft stalls are scattered throughout the street. The snack street among them has collected all the famous snacks from all over Sichuan. They are made and sold on the spot. Some are for eating, some are for watching. They are really delicious and you can see them.

The above is purely an official introduction. If there is any inaccuracy, it is none of my business.

Following the direction indicated by the mobile phone navigation, I first saw Jinli. This is also a place I want to visit, so I went for a walk. The streets are still antique and the atmosphere is rich in commerce. It is said to be one of the most popular attractions in Chengdu. Of course, there are many tourists, so it is impossible to take a photo without people. Although there are all kinds of Sichuan snacks on the street, various teahouses, cafes, bars, inns, etc. where you can sit at any time, I am not very interested in such a commercial street, so I just browsed it quickly and ended it.

It's just so-so. You can go shopping and eat, and it's an ancient alley with obvious scenic features.

The buildings are all very nice, but the food and small items for sale are very similar, and the prices are also at the scenic spot level (a serving of dandan noodles is 10 yuan outside, but basically 16 yuan inside; skewers are 0.5 yuan a skewer outside, but 9 for 10 yuan inside).

It is an ancient town full of commercial atmosphere. Eat, drink, and go shopping. It would be a pity if you come to Chengdu and don't come here, but it's just like that. However, it is a must! Because if you don't come here, when you go back and tell others, it's as if you have never been to Chengdu.

Jinli is a famous pedestrian commercial street in Chengdu. It is an antique building in the architectural style of the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China, with the Three Kingdoms culture and Sichuan traditional folk culture as its main content. The first and second phases of the project were opened in 2004 and 2009 respectively.

Jinli is part of the Chengdu Wuhou Temple Museum. It is covered with Sichuan folk houses from the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, and has the Three Kingdoms culture and Chengdu folk customs as its connotation. It is known as the "No. 1 Street in Western Sichuan" and is praised as the "Chengdu version of Along the River During the Qingming Festival". The layout of the ancient street is rigorous and orderly, with bar entertainment areas, Sichuan catering and snack areas, mansion inn areas, and characteristic tourist handicraft exhibition areas scattered in an orderly manner. The snack street collects all the famous snacks from all over Sichuan in the street, which are made and sold on the spot, with a wide variety and different flavors.

Jinli is larger than Kuanzhai Alley, and the two places have different styles. Jinli has many special teahouses and "face-changing" performances, many places to eat, and some craftsmen. If you go to Chengdu, you must go to Jinli. At the very least, you must go there to drink a bowl of tea and watch the "face-changing" performances, and then try some street snacks.

After Kuanzhai Alley, there is another popular food gathering place, but I didn’t see much food. Is it because I wasn’t hungry? ? This place looks better and more artistic when the lanterns are lit at night.

After exiting the Wuhou Temple, turn left and walk a few steps straight to another popular check-in spot: Jinli. This place is only separated from the Wuhou Temple by a wall and is also a Three Kingdoms historical relic area. It is rumored that Jinli was one of the oldest and most commercial streets in the history of Western Sichuan. It was well-known throughout the country as early as the Qin and Han Dynasties and the Three Kingdoms Period. It is covered with Sichuan folk houses from the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, integrating the Three Kingdoms culture with Chengdu folk customs, tourism, shopping, leisure and entertainment. (I personally feel that it is similar to Kuanzhai Alley)



We ate and walked along the way, strolling, looking and consuming calories. There are a lot of Chengdu special snacks, such as cold noodles, cold skin, cold cakes, ice jelly, barbecue, squid, meat skewers... etc. We bought whatever tasted good to try. Some of them are really hard for us outsiders to eat, such as cold cakes o(╯□╰)o~~~ (There is also Houttuynia cordata, which smells like fish mint and is really hard to swallow. However, in the eyes of locals, it is a rare delicacy, hahaha, don’t you think it’s weird?) There are all kinds of teahouses, bars, hot pot restaurants, and food streets. There are ancient crafts such as ear cleaning, covered tea, and face changing. When you are tired, sit down to taste tea, watch Sichuan opera performances, and experience the charm and customs of the ancient Shu Kingdom. It is also a rare enjoyment~~~

Jinli is located within the first ring road of Chengdu city center, in the middle section of Chengdu Wuhou Temple Street, adjacent to Jinjiang River in the north, Rainbow Bridge in the east, and only one wall away from the famous Wuhou Temple. It is adjacent to Wuhou Temple Street, which leads directly to Tianfu Square in the city center. This area belongs to the government's "Three Kingdoms Culture" development area.

You can take buses 1, 57, 304, 306 and 335 directly to the site. You can take subway line 3, get off at Gaoshengqiao Station and walk about 1 km to the site.

Kuanzhai Alley, Jinli, and Ciqikou in Chongqing are all similar. There are snacks of various formats hidden in the ancient buildings. However, they are already famous and are iconic attractions in Chengdu. If you come to Chengdu, you should still go there and buy some souvenirs to bring back, such as Chengdu's special facial masks, and then have some snacks when you are tired of shopping.

It's a different feeling from the daytime, but there are probably more people at night.

It is a very lively old neighborhood, well preserved, and next to it is the famous Wuhou Temple.

Jinli is a landmark check-in spot where you can go shopping and eat. You don’t have to go during holidays, just to see the crowds!

Just outside the Wuhou Temple, it is a little worse than Kuanzhai Alley. The things sold there are not very special.

I personally like Jinli very much. The simplicity of the ancient street is easy to associate with Zhuge Liang of Shu.

去了也沒有太多印象的地方, 鄰近武候祠, 路過一下

A very lively place, a bit like Lijiang, with everything you need for eating, drinking and having fun

Traditional scenic spot, good night view, not so beautiful during the day, similar to other pedestrian streets in China

I walked around and there were so many people that it was so crowded, but there was a lot to eat. If you like lively places, you can go there.

Chengdu night scene holy place, the first attraction I visited after entering Sichuan
