WenShuFang

4.8/5

WenShuFang is an antique-style cultural block in Qingyang District, Chengdu, adjacent to Wenshu Monastery. Opened in 2006, the Wenshu Monastery area, where it is located, is one of Chengdu's three major historical and cultural conservation zones, alongside Kuanzhai Alley and Daci Temple. The block primarily features architecture in the traditional Sichuanese residential style, with teahouses, snack shops, intangible cultural heritage workshops, and Hanfu stores nestled among gray-tiled roofs, wooden doors, and courtyards. It is also a popular spot for locals to drink tea and chat. The main streets in the district each have their own distinctive features: Wuyuegong Street is dedicated to intangible cultural heritage, with workshops showcasing traditional crafts like Shu brocade, Shu embroidery, lacquerware, bamboo weaving, and silver filigree, where artisans can often be seen working on-site; Nanyue Lane is a hub for Hanfu culture, with a constant stream of people dressed in Hanfu taking photos against the backdrop of ancient-style gate towers and red walls, and the street also offers Hanfu rental and makeup services; Jinma Lane is the heart of old Chengdu flavors, where time-honored snacks like imperial walnut cakes and Zhang Liangfen from Dongzikou can be enjoyed from one end of the street to the other. When you need a break, you can stop at a teahouse for a bowl of covered-bowl tea. The district also hosts Sichuan opera performances, where you can enjoy face-changing, fire-spitting, and long-spout tea art while sipping tea, fully immersing yourself in Chengdu's unique blend of leisure and liveliness. When touring, you might as well combine this place with the nearby Wenshu Monastery into one route, visiting the ancient temple first and then exploring the alleys, which can be completed in half a day. Travelers planning to take Hanfu photos are advised to allocate more time for makeup, styling, and framing.Chengdu · 54km from Jianyang

Wenshu monastery is located in Qingyang district. Originally built during the Sui dynasty and rebuilt during the Kangxi reign, it was renamed Wenshu monastery. The monastery houses over 300 Buddhist statues of various sizes, crafted from diverse materials including iron, gauze-covered clay, wood, stone, and clay. Among them is a precious jade Buddha statue from Myanmar. The temple complex features five grand halls - the Hall of the Three Great Scholars, the Mahavira Hall, the Dharma Hall, and the Scripture Depository - connected in sequence, seamlessly integrated with the bell tower, dining hall, and corridor houses on the east and west sides. Combined with other structures, they form an enclosed quadrangle courtyard. The compound also houses a teahouse and a distinctive vegetarian restaurant called "Xiangzhai Hall," making it a beloved leisure spot for local residents. In addition, the monastery houses numerous precious paintings and calligraphic works from the Ming and Qing dynasties. The most renowned include the "Konglin" plaque bestowed upon Wenshu Monastery by Emperor Kangxi in 1702, as well as Kangxi's transcription of the Song Dynasty calligrapher Mi Fu's "Sea Moon" scroll. Other Buddhist artifacts include the parietal bone of Tang Dynasty monk Xuanzang, Indian palm-leaf manuscripts, and gilded sutra cases from Tang Dynasty Japan. However, as these are precious cultural relics, they are rarely seen by outsiders. The street in front of Wenshu Monastery, now developed as Wenshu Fang known as the "urban zen forest," features uniformly designed antique-style buildings where many snack stalls continue to operate.Chengdu · 54.1km from Jianyang

In the southern suburb of Jianyang City, there is Shengde Temple, which was founded in the Qianfu period of Tang Dynasty (874-879 AD). There is a pagoda in the temple, formerly known as Shengyin Pagoda, because the pagoda body is painted with gray powder and white, so it is called the White Pagoda. The locals also call Shengde Temple Baita Temple, which was destroyed in the early years. The pagoda was built in Song Ningzong's time, with funds raised by Zhang Fang, a professor of Jianzhou and the monk Huizu of Shengde Temple. In the early 1990s, the state allocated funds to repair the White Pagoda. Today, with the pagoda as the main body, the White Pagoda Garden has been built, with a new cultural relics showroom, a forest of steles, and a grass house tea garden. It has become an important cultural attraction in Jianyang City.Jianyang · 3.3km from downtown

Luodai Ancient Town is located in the Longquanyi District of Chengdu. The town is a well-preserved ancient Hakka town in the suburbs of Chengdu. The old streets and Hakka houses in the town are well preserved. The old street is laid out as “one street and seven alleys.” There are shops on both sides of the street.

Chunxi Road

4.7/5
5.1k reviews
Chunxi Road is the fashion hub of Chengdu and a culinary hotspot. Exploring this iconic commercial pedestrian street and indulging in local delicacies is a must-do when visiting Chengdu. Chunxi Road is not just a single street, but refers to the area east of Beixin Street, south of Zongfu Road, west of Hongxing Road, north of Dongda Street, as well as Nanxin Street, Zhongxin Street and their surrounding areas. For visitors to Chengdu, missing out on Chunxi Road would be as regrettable as skipping Wangfujing in Beijing or Nanjing Road in Shanghai. On both sides of Chunxi Road, you'll find a vibrant mix of century-old shops, trendy malls, brand boutiques, and delicious snack stalls. Famous local eateries like Zhong's Dumplings, Lai's Tangyuan, Han's Steamed Buns, and Long's Wonton all have branches here. On weekends, this area also serves as a popular leisure spot for Chengdu residents. The intersection of Chunxi Road's main street is the famous Zhongshan Square, where the bronze statue of Sun Yat-sen stands. At the northern entrance, there's also a Chengdu folk-custom relief art wall carved from granite, depicting various scenes of Tang Dynasty Chengdu, including temple fairs, flower festivals, lantern festivals, and mulberry picking.Chengdu · 52.6km from Jianyang

Located in Jintang County of Chengdu, Wufengxi Ancient Town is an ancient town with a long history. It is not very commercialized, which means you can savor the charm of this authentic ancient town. Take your time to visit some buildings from Ming and Qing Dynasties in the town. You can also pray in the Guanyin Temple, or experience the Western culture in the church in the town.Jintang · 22.5km from Jianyang

Kuanzhai Alley

4.6/5

Kuanzhai Alley is a well-preserved ancient block from the Qing Dynasty in Chengdu. Originally part of the old Manchu city where Eight Banner soldiers and their families lived, it now consists of three parallel old streets—Kuan Alley, Zhai Alley, and Jing Alley—along with their courtyard houses. With gray brick walls and varied gate designs, the area blends the charm of Sichuanese residential courtyards with the layout of northern hutongs. Each alley has its own character: Kuan Alley embodies "leisurely living," with old teahouses, hotpot restaurants, and private Sichuan cuisine spots tucked away in courtyards; Zhai Alley represents "slow living," featuring cafes and bookshops converted from traditional houses; Jing Alley focuses on "new living," with relatively fewer crowds. A several-hundred-meter-long brick cultural wall, pieced together with old bricks and historical photos, showcases Chengdu's street memories and is worth a closer look. Teahouse lounging is a classic pastime here—order a cup of Mengshan yellow bud tea and listen to the elderly at the next table spinning yarns from their bamboo chairs. You can also request an ear cleaning from a "comfort ear practitioner," whose gentle techniques bring tingling relaxation, making it a must-try for many travelers. For photos, don't miss the arched gateway of "Kailu" at No. 11 Wide Alley, one of the most distinctive courtyard entrances in the area. When lanterns light up at night, bars and snack stalls buzz with energy, creating a vibrant contrast to the daytime leisure—another flavor of Chengdu to savor.Chengdu · 55km from Jianyang

I've been to Sancha Lake many times now, but I take the boat less often than before. Now, every time I go to Sancha Lake, I go to Taoyuanba's Special Fragrant Fish Restaurant to eat their signature fish, which is also located by the lake.

[Scenery] Influenced by internet celebrities, I went to Danjingtai for the first time to climb the mountain. The artificial landscape is very creative and is also a check-in spot for internet celebrities. When you climb to the top of the mountain, you can see everything at a glance (as shown in the picture). [Fun] There are glass plank roads, sky cafes, children's playgrounds, etc. on the top of the mountain, all kinds of entertainment and satisfaction. [Cost-effectiveness] It is about 60 kilometers from Chengdu. The parking fee at the bottom of the mountain is 10 yuan. If you take a car to the mountain, each person will pay 10 yuan. It is suitable for all kinds of groups to play.

Wenshu Fang, nestled against the ancient Wenshu Monastery, exudes the rustic charm of western Sichuan folk customs amidst its blue bricks and gray tiles. I strolled leisurely here with my dog, wandering through bamboo paths and red-walled, green corridors; even he couldn't resist frolicking on the stone slabs. There's none of the hustle and bustle of trendy shops, only the jasmine fragrance wafting from teahouses and the gentle sounds of artisans hammering bamboo – the atmosphere is simply divine! Wenshu Fang is a hidden gem of a Chengdu food map! Just step outside and you can enjoy authentic "Dongzikou Zhang Lao Er" sweet water noodles, their sour, spicy, and savory flavors instantly awakening your taste buds. I squatted by the window and ordered a spicy hot pot for my dog, and he quietly devoured half the bowl! There's also freshly ground soy milk and ice jelly on the street corner; even my dog ​​couldn't resist licking the soy pulp clean from the rim of the bowl! Wenshu Fang is incredibly pet-friendly! I took photos with my dog ​​in front of the "Wenshu Fang" cultural and creative shop; he posed on the bluestone slabs against the backdrop of the ancient buildings with their upturned eaves – every snapshot looked like a masterpiece of traditional Chinese style. The shop also thoughtfully provided a water station for pets, so you don't have to worry about your pet getting thirsty.

🏛️ Chengdu Museum — A Wonderful Glimpse into Chengdu’s History & CultureA really interesting place to visit while in Chengdu, especially if you want to understand more about the city beyond its famous pandas and food. 😊The museum has a great collection showcasing Chengdu’s long history, culture, traditions and development. I especially enjoyed seeing the historical artefacts and learning about how Chengdu has changed through the centuries.The exhibits are well presented and the museum is spacious, clean and easy to explore. Even though I’m not usually someone who spends a lot of time in museums, I found this visit surprisingly enjoyable and informative.It’s also a nice place to escape the heat or rain for a while and take a slower, more relaxing break from sightseeing.Definitely worth a visit if you’re interested in history and culture. A good way to appreciate the story behind this fascinating city. ❤️You can drop by if you are planning to go to Tianfu Square area or Huang Cheng mosque area as this place is only in a blink away😊

Perfect for a leisurely stroll, sampling street snacks, and experiencing Chengdu’s culture. We bought some of the tea pastry and tea leaves and shop for some panda souvenirs there. We have our lunch in one of the Sichuan cuisine restaurant in the narrow alley which the food is pretty good. There is a cat souvenir shop named Mao Mao Yao which sells lovely handmade ceramic cat product. We bought some fridge magnets before going back to our hotel.
