A hidden courtyard in Chengdu

#hellohalloween
🍁 In the heart of Chengdu, there is a hidden courtyard where autumn lingers in every corner…

As the maple leaves begin to turn, the small lanes and tiled roofs awaken in the gentle breath of the season. No rush, no noise — only the sound of wind stirring the branches, sunlight streaming through old eaves, and the fragrant spice of simmering hotpot.

On a golden afternoon, sitting in this traditional courtyard with a bubbling nine-square hotpot before you, the numbing spice mingles with the crisp autumn air, warming both body and soul. Sometimes happiness is simply this — dining in a scene that feels like a painting, savoring your favorite dish, and sharing the moment with someone who smiles across the table.

When you visit in autumn, don’t miss the seasonal apricot dessert — sweet, refreshing, and as gentle as the season itself, the perfect ending to a hearty meal.

Every corner of this courtyard whispers with time, carrying the elegance and poetry of Chengdu — at once classic, romantic, and serene.

🌿 If you are searching for a place to feel autumn slowly, to pause amid the city’s fast rhythm, this is the hidden corner made for you.
