Republican-era style is like a serene and graceful painting, its elegance and subtlety hidden within the green bricks and grey tiles, in every street and alley.
In the Sanhe Ancient Town of Xindu District in Chengdu, there is such a place that brings together quaint architecture, vintage posters, nostalgic classic cars, rickshaws, mailboxes, neon lights, phone booths, and billboards, creating a town rich in Republican-era atmosphere, showing visitors the warmth and imprint of that era.
