The place was very crowded. There are many stalls selling local snacks. It's a great experience to try their local snacks and stuffs. Though some of it does not really suit our appetite.

In a big city like Chengdu all the historic areas are rebuilt as tourist areas. Jinli is a great example. It has the old style buildings with the small streets and all the little shops and street foods. Wander around and taste the foods and then relax at the outdoor teahouse and get your ears cleaned! Lots of fun.

It was the day of the Lunar festival, aka the Mooncake Festival.
The weather was excellent and the moon was big and bright. Although my friends and I visited this place at about 9.00pm, it was crowded as it was a festival and public holiday. It is not just one street, but rather a number of meandering lanes connected to...

This street is very busy and popular by tourists. It's more a shopping-street than an authentic experience. The stuff for sale is rather generic and custom-tailored for the many tourists that visit Chengdu. But you can find some gems along the way. You get to make a few good pictures, especially further inside near the park/green area.

Took a taxi to Jinli, about 15 minutes from my hotel. It was raining all day, so be sure to bring a rain jacket or umbrella on a day like this!
A great place to find traditional souvenirs, tea and a variety of food. No bargaining at all, all prices are fixed.
You will see traditional decor all around. I...

Jinli street (actually several streets) is beautiful and a tourist haven.
Although it was rebuilt (and extended) recently it has been done in the original and traditional style. The street is full of little tea houses, shops and food stalls.
We spent a couple of hours here browsing through the shops and tasting food from the different stalls. There is...

Loved this place. Was busier than expected, full of people with very little room to manoeuvre but so entertaining. Stalls everywhere, food everywhere and such an electric atmosphere! Very enjoyable! Don't visit if you have a fear of crowds or are in any way claustrophobic otherwise...crack on 😜

I'd visited Jinli two days before the Mid Autumn Festival. There were a lot of domestic tourists taking advantage of the long weekend. It was quite crowded, bustling, and a bit touristic.
There are many, many street vendors and hawkers selling different types of finger food. Some have strange name, like "spraying urine beef balls".
Quite a fun place to...

We had dinner here at the first restaurant but the crowds were off putting - jostling and noisy - pretty but if you don't like crowds give it a miss
