Compared to Chunxi Road, I recommend these niche routes in Chengdu.

Chengdu, a super charming city😎! Don't just go to the crowded Chunxi Road and Kuanzhai Alley…… There are so many other beautiful and interesting places in this city👏!
🎈Here are a few recommended routes, with each location being very close to the next, so you can basically walk between them😃^_^.
1️⃣ Youthful and artistic route:
🚶‍♂️‍➡️Fangcao Street🥰→Fanghua Street😃→Yulin Comprehensive Market😜→Yulin Alley No. 4😎→Yulin West Road🎉. These streets are full of ancient charm and lush greenery🌳. Not only is there Yulin Road, which is sung about by Zhao Lei🎶, but there is also the atmosphere of Chengdu's citizens🎇. Here you can find all kinds of drink shops🥤, restaurants🍲, pubs🍺, etc.
2️⃣ Historical and cultural route:
🚶‍♂️‍➡️Du Fu Thatched Cottage🧐→Huanhuaxi Park😍→Sichuan Provincial Museum🤩→Qingyang Palace🙏. Here you can find Chengdu's cultural landscapes, including Du Fu's Thatched Cottage and garden🌸, as well as the "First Taoist Temple in Western Sichuan". Tea lovers can also come here and enjoy a leisurely time😌.
3️⃣ Art and garden route:
🚶‍♂️‍➡️Tianfu Art Museum🎨→Tianfu Humanities and Art Library📚→Yi Garden🌳→Shu Garden🎑. This park, which I visit countless times every year in Chengdu, is a place where you can spend a whole day😃. It has everything from lakeside views🌊, libraries, art museums, and Jiangnan courtyards…… It's simply breathtaking😍.
4️⃣ Urban landscape route:
🚶‍♂️‍➡️Taikoo Li👠→Daci Temple🙏→Wangping Street😎→Nine-Eyed Bridge🎇. Walk through the fashionable streets of Taikoo Li in the morning, feel the tranquility of Daci Temple in the middle of the bustling city, visit the artistic shops on Wangping Street in the afternoon, and enjoy the night view and cool breeze at Nine-Eyed Bridge in the evening😌.
🍲Chengdu Cuisine:
Specialties: Boiled Chicken🐔, Hotpot🥘, Skewers🍢, Maolai🥗, Dumplings🥟……
Snacks: Egg Cake🥧, Cold Rabbit🐇, Hand-Torn Rabbit🐰, Ice Jelly🍧……
Here's a Boiled Chicken restaurant that my sisters and I often visit. You can also try other local snacks here, which are very delicious😋. It's located near Taikoo Li😉.
