Kuanzhai Alley 🛍️ 🧋

On a summer evening, Kuanzhai Alley came alive with glowing lanterns and the soft hum of footsteps on stone. We wandered through Wide, Narrow, and Well Alleys, where Qing Dynasty architecture framed boutique shops, traditional teahouses, and hidden courtyards draped in ivy. The air was thick with the scent of grilled skewers and sweet osmanthus, and every turn led to music, laughter, or a calligrapher at work. 🏮🎻🍢 Tourists snapped photos of shadow puppet shows while locals sipped tea beneath paper parasols. Between modern cafés and century-old doors, Kuanzhai danced between past and present with elegance. In the warmth of a Chengdu summer, it felt like time slowed enough for us to savor every bite, every step, every story. 🧋📷🌙 #summervacay #travel #myitinerary

📅 Itinerary Day1:First day we went exploring the city. Just walk around and ended up at Tianfu sq. In the afternoon I went back to Wenzhou Yuan Monastery and the surrounding neighbourhood. Since we were pretty Jet lagged this was a very short day. In the evening we went to Kuan / Zhai alley for food. Which was a pretty cute area to move around and enjoy the evening. Day2: we started with the chengdu museum. Which was pretty awesome and then spend the afternoon in the people’s park and surrounding area. Also did some shopping along Chunxi Road. The afternoon we went to Wu Hu Shrine, where we also got food in the food street next door. Day3: we went to the panda research centre where in the morning (getting up early is really recommended to see them feed in the Morning), the afternoon we went to the Du Fu thatched cottage museum. Evening was spend near Anshun bridge for food and drinks. 🏨 Accommodation : we stayed at the MeHood hotel near Wenzhou Yuan monastry which was a pretty nice stay. Next time might get something more central. 📌 Tips : go to the panda centre Early to see them Have a go at their bamboo.
