Step into the vibrant charm of 锦里 (Jinli Ancient Street) — one of Chengdu’s most iconic cultural hubs where history, snacks, and Sichuan folk life come alive!
✨ With roots tracing back to the Qin and Han dynasties, Jinli is now a beautifully restored pedestrian street near Wuhou Shrine, filled with traditional wooden facades, red lanterns, and a lively atmosphere. It’s the perfect place to experience old Chengdu’s flair, whether you’re:
• 🥟 Sampling classic street eats like 赖汤圆、三大炮、钟水饺
• 🎭 Watching Sichuan opera face-changing performances
• 🧧 Browsing handmade crafts, embroidery, and local souvenirs
📍 Located right beside Wuhou Temple, it’s easy to pair both visits in one half-day. Come in the evening when the lanterns are lit and the alleys glow with a nostalgic warmth.
🎟️ No entrance fee
🕰️ Best visited: 4–9pm for snacks + evening vibes
📷 Tip: Photogenic spots all around — especially the narrow alleyways and curved bridges
