Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Kuanzhai Alley is an ancient street in Chengdu left over from the Qing Dynasty. It is composed of three parallel lanes - a wide alleyway, a narrow alleyway and a criss-crossed alleyway, with courtyards between them. Here, you may drink tea, eat hotpot and experience the old and new way of life in Chengdu. It is one of the hotspots in Chengdu where old folks come together and carry out their activities. Kuanzhai Alley also comes alive at night due to a couple of modern bars situated there. Feel free to check it out if you are a night-life person.

Chengdu’s MUST visit - Kuanzhai alleyOne of the best things you can do in Chengdu is to visit this ancient street. Kuanzhai alley is one of my favorites of the city. There are lots of tea-houses, coffee shops and restaurants with delicious food. 🥘 Also many shops with souvenirs of local landmarks, also a nice decorated bookstore 📚 Every corner of the Kuanzhai alley is a nice spot for taking pictures 📸 I’ve been here once in winter and another time in summer. Both seasons were perfect for this place. 💚 #tripblazers #sichuan #urbanexplorer #chengdu #kuanzhaialleyLily41

Kuanzhai Alley will not DisappointGetting There - In Didi, you'll find it as Kuan Alley and Zhai Alley Pedestrian Street, Jinhe Road, Qingyang. The taxi left us right at the entrance and we started our bedazzling journey from there 😍🤩. Attractions - There was so busy to see and do💃💃. It was like a fun day that couldn't end. In every corner there was a shop with attractive people calling out to us and inviting us in. Inside, there was music 🎶, face changing acts, other live performances, and food. Kuanzhai Alley is more than a location it's an experience. If you go to Chengdu you must visit this pedestrian street. Feel the local culture live the life of the people. Highlight - it was a one-stop shop for many things you'd want to do and see in Chengdu like the #SichuanOpera Rating 5 stars definitely ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Spunk17
#Kuanzhai Alley #Chengdu #Visit #January 2023Situated in the downtown of Chengdu city, Kuanzhai Alley (宽窄巷子), or Wide & Narrow Alleys, consists of Kuan Alley (Wide Alley), Zhai Alley (Narrow Alley), and Jing Alley. The three streets are the left part of the buildings after the chaos of war in the Qing Dynasty (A.D. 1636-1912). Still maintaining the original looks for hundreds of years, Kuanzhai Alley has been attracting millions of tourists by the typical buildings in ancient Qing style of quadrangle courtyard, Chengdu local snacks, life of old Chengdu, etc. Moreover, fashionable bars with many young singers and various restaurants are abundant in Kuanzhai Alley, making this place a combination of traditional Chinese culture and modern life.MAAK5

The beautiful streets of Kuanzai AlleyThe wide and narrow alleys in Chengdu is one of the most beautiful scenery and historical tourist attraction. I loved the building style and other activities that go on there. This isn’t my first visit but my last visit. I came back to chengdu to visit again just for the love I have for this city. I definitely recommend this place to any tourists #mytripvlogChris de Adventurer25

Kuanzhai Alley in ChengduKuanzhai Alley (or in Chinese 宽窄巷子) is one of the most popular streets in Sichuan's capital Chengdu. There are two parallel lanes with shops, restaurants, Snack-Shops, Cafés, massage, milk- and bubble tea, teahouses and museums. 🎭🖼️👕🌯♨️ 🎟️🕜 Kuanzhai alley is for free and open 24/7... 📍 Just search it in your map-app or show 宽窄巷子 to your taxi driver. There is also a subway station with the same name. The food is good, but a little overpriced. Anyway it's a good place, if you're in Chengdu for a limited time and want to try everything in a short time... #bucketlistreboot #chengdu #sichuan #kuanzhaialleyA_Wanderer9

KuanZhai Alley in Chengdu.KuanZhai Alley is one of the most important landmarks and tourist attractions of Chengdu. The recommended sightseeing time is between one to two hours. Beautiful surroundings, impressive architecture are two characteristics that make worthy to visit this place. Speaking of food, it would take a long time to sample all the traditional dishes. Every speciality is reasonably-priced so there is no excuse to try some local cuisine. After the visit, you can also enjoy some shopping or nice food as there are many restaurants and shops around the area. This place is open 24 hours. #passionpassport #holidays #exploring #china #passionpassportRafael Osorio15
Kuanzhai Alley | ChengduGetting There - You can take a bus, subway, taxi, walk or cycle to this alley. Make sure you have your green code ready! Attractions - There are so many cool photographic spots all the way down the alley. It’s meant to be a creative alley so you will find many people taking pictures and shooting videos. Hotels - available all around the area not sure about in the alley though. Food & Restaurants - There are plenty of souvenir shops and local snack stores. We actually walked passed a mini bar in the middle of the road which was cool to see. There are lots of fruit and juice bars along the way too.Phila9

Kuanzhai Alley - show, food, souvenirsGetting There - metro line 4 (宽窄巷子站) Attractions - traditional performance, tea rooms, local food and souvenirs Food & Restaurants - MUG (craft beer bar) Kuanzhai Alley is a very touristic place. I don't think that local people often go to the place like this, it's busy and a bit expensive. However as tourists we had a lot of fun exploring shops and watching a face changing show in the little theatre. If you are around this area, go to a craft brewery there called MUG #couplestrip#summervacation#urbanexplorerekaterina.l9
Chengdu Book Store, located beside a narrow alley, can be accessed via an orange spiral staircase. The view from the entrance is stunning. The space inside is divided in a unique manner, and there are beautiful sights all around. The bookstore sells coffee, and there are also seats so that you can sit and read. You can also buy souvenirs, potted plants, and much more.Kiki.Liang.15

More to Chengu then pandas ! although they are everywhere A great place to explore and see the different things going on. Lots of souveniers and people enjoying the alley.
I have been here many times and it is one of the lively neighborhoods in Chengdu. The architectural style of Ming and Qing Dynasties, historical heritage and modern business are integrated here. Shopping, eating snacks, looking at gadgets, sending postcards, very freehand.
Kuanzhai Alley - one of Chengdu's must-check attractions ~ I went there on weekday afternoons, very lively, there are a lot of tourists like me ~ This is a relaxing alley, casually strolling, taking pictures is a very good place, very relaxing ~ and the attractions are free, no tickets are required ~ many merchants, There are also a lot of small food merchants~
Very fireworks attractions, delicious and fun. Chengdu is a very leisurely city, with history and fashion, not only the locals are comfortable, but also the tourists can feel the comfort of the people. Eat, drink, play and play, you can see Sichuan drama change face, buy cultural goods, Kuanzhai Alley is very suitable for foreign tourists.
Kuanzhai Alley is two alleys, one wider and one narrower. Two parallel and not far from the commercial street, the street is also crowded with people, including snacks, souvenirs, program performances, and Chengdu local special ear collection hall.
