City Stroll in a Nearby City

No. 44 Courtyard, Xishengci West Street, 4.7 km from the Bu Yuan Hotel 🚗 About a 15-minute drive If you're fascinated by historic architecture, don't miss the special exhibition at No. 44 Courtyard on Xishengci West Street in Chengdu. In July, the poetic and lively Jinjiang River sets the stage for this event, where the culturally rich Xishengci district provides a unique platform for outstanding graduates of Sichuan Fine Arts Institute's Class of 2025 and young artists from the residency program to showcase their work. The Xishengci district has witnessed a profound collision of Western culture and Chengdu's local history. From the establishment of Renji Hospital and the chapel, to the birth of the Qiong Yao siblings, Feng Yuxiang's anti-war speeches, and Xie Wuliang's later years spent here, this area carries a century of historical memories, making it a deeply layered cultural site. Here, the integration of contemporary art with the original architectural space and environment is both a dialogue and a reactivation. Unlike the aesthetic experience of an art museum, this exhibition, set amidst halls, courtyards, patios, and old walls, aims to offer a multidimensional viewing experience that combines wandering, contemplation, gazing, and tactile engagement.
