Chengdu Wenshufang | A cultural and creative street beside an ancient temple: a glimpse into the everyday aesthetics of Bashu culture

Wenshu Temple is one of Chengdu's most spiritual ancient temples. Beyond the lingering scent of incense, the surrounding area of ​​Wenshufang offers another alluring atmosphere: a vibrant array of cultural and creative shops that cleverly blend tradition with modernity.

Entering Wenshufang, one side is shrouded in the ancient charm of red walls and gray tiles, while the other is filled with a dazzling array of cultural and creative shops. Panda figurines, Sichuan opera masks, handmade tea sets, Sichuan embroidered silk scarves, calligraphy postcards... these small items transform Bashu culture from the solemnity of temples into everyday aesthetics that can be carried with you.

Some shops specialize in creative products inspired by tea culture, creating simple yet stylish tea cans and cups. Others, inspired by Sichuan opera, offer a variety of lively and playful face-changing keychains and facial mask refrigerator magnets. Still others combine traditional craftsmanship with design, transforming Sichuan brocade and bamboo weaving into practical phone cases and tote bags that exude a sense of local style.
