As one of Chengdu's cultural business cards, Kuanzhai Lane has to talk about its history. The word Shaocheng can be seen everywhere around Kuanzhai, and Kuanzhai is an important part of Shaocheng in history, also known as Mancheng. Mancheng is the imperial city in the city built by the Qing court for the Eight Banners and their families, with the current Changshun Xia, Zhong and Upper Streets as the central axis of the distribution of streets and alleys on both sides, which looks like a centipede on the map, Changshun Street is the body of the centipede, and the two sides are centipede feet, with the general's yamen as the centipede head, which is the current wide and narrow area.

Kuanzhai is the epitome of Chengdu's well culture, and is the most well-preserved historical building complex in the surrounding area, which is composed of three alleys: wide, narrow and well. There are also several alleys connecting the three alleys, and it is not a must-see for taking pictures.

In the afternoon, the warm sun shone on the streets and sprinkled on everyone's faces, the courtyard houses of green bricks and gray tiles, the swaying stars in the shade of the trees, and the prosperity and liveliness of the past seemed to emerge in front of us again.

Chengdu spares no effort in maintaining the image of a tourist city, and the transformation and upgrading of the surrounding streets and alleys are constantly underway. For example, Osmanthus Lane, which was named by CCTV before, and so on. We checked in Paoli Tree Street, Xiaotong Lane, which is known as the most literary street and alley in Chengdu, and Kuixing Lou Street, one of the four major food streets in Chengdu, and we will also pass by other streets and alleys worth taking pictures.

📌Tips:
1. Wide and narrow alleys
are wide and narrow to check in, small shops on the street, and some gates along the street are also good for framing. There are fewer people in the alley, and it is easier to make a film. For example, market life, Qingyuan, panda house, wide path, etc.

2. Zhiji Stone Street, Paulownia Tree Street
The extension of Zhiji Stone Street is very good, click on the side of the road. There are many creative shops on Paulownia Tree Street, and the door is also very beautiful. Recommended store names: Weijian, Chenli, Gengyue, Jin Sanshun Barbecue, Bujieyou Grocery Store, and an unknown Japanese liquor house is also good for taking photos. The alleys of Paulownia Street Primary School are lined with paintings of children in bright colors, the entrance of the primary school and the sidewalk, and the shops selling stationery opposite. It's very good to check in and take pictures.

3. The creative shops in Zhazi Street, Xiaotong
Lane and Xiaotong Lane are more literary and artistic than the style of Paulownia Tree Street, and the lighting is better. Since there is a lot of on-street parking, it is more difficult to frame. It's also good to take small shots.

4. Kuixing Building Street
As one of the four major food streets in Chengdu, Kuixinglou Street is still worthy of recognition of the taste of surviving here (Kuixinglou Street Store) Compared to the hot pepper (Kuixinglou Street store) I personally prefer to draw a smile and smile at the feeling of sitting at a small table on the street and skewering skewers. The Sichuan cuisine I ate with my friends later Taotie Lin Restaurant also tasted good.

As one of the four major food streets in Chengdu, Kuixinglou Street is still worthy of recognition for the taste of the stores that can survive here. Compared with the hot pepper of Internet celebrities, I personally prefer the feeling of sitting on a small table on the street with yellow beef spicy braised skewers. The Taolin Restaurant (Sichuan cuisine) that I went to eat with my friends later also tasted good.
