Chengdu Tixiangsi Water Street | Encounter the Poetic Place Where Ancient Meets Modern

Dear friends, if you come to Chengdu, besides eating and drinking, you must not miss the hidden gem of Tixiangsi Water Street! This place perfectly blends Chengdu's ancient charm with modern style, making it a great spot for leisurely strolls and photo ops~ 🏞️ Featured Scenery - Ancient Temple Heritage: Tixiangsi has a long history and carries profound cultural heritage. Stepping into the temple, a peaceful and serene atmosphere greets you, with red walls, green trees, ancient Buddha statues, and blue lamps, instantly making you forget the hustle and bustle of the world and immerse yourself in tranquility. - Water Charm: Winding waterways run through the entire water street, flanked by quaint, antique-style buildings. At dusk, when the lights come on, the warm yellow glow reflects on the water’s surface, shimmering and mingling with the weeping willows and ancient architecture along the banks, resembling a stunning ink painting. 🎈 Experience - Leisure Tea Houses: The water street has many tea houses full of Chengdu character, furnished with bamboo chairs and tables. Order a cup of gaiwan tea, sit under the shade of trees, listen to locals chatting, and enjoy an authentic ear-picking service from a master, experiencing the slow life that runs deep in Chengdu’s bones. - Artsy Shops: There are many exquisite handicraft shops, bookstores, and cultural creative stores here. Some shops offer handmade panda-themed items, while some bookstores are artistically and cozily decorated. Order a cup of coffee, pick a good book, and you can spend a delightful afternoon. 🍽️ Food Recommendations There’s no shortage of delicious food around Tixiangsi Water Street. Sichuan restaurants serve authentic twice-cooked pork and mapo tofu; snack stalls offer sugar-coated fried dough balls and "San Da Pao" (a traditional snack) to satisfy your taste buds. When tired from walking, find a restaurant and enjoy a hearty meal. 📍 Practical Information - Address: No. 88, Tixiangsi Road, Wuhou District, Chengdu - Transportation: You can take the subway and then walk; or choose a taxi, both are convenient. - Opening Hours: Open all day. When the lights come on at night, it has a special charm, perfect for night tours.
