#postandearn Dongmen Shijing, located in Chengdu’s Jinjiang District near the former residence of writer Li Jieren, is a vibrant cultural street that blends old Chengdu charm with modern lifestyle. Covering about 40 acres, the area recreates scenes of traditional city life with features like old-style teahouses, sunken plazas, wooden street stalls, and pavilions. Visitors can enjoy classic Sichuan snacks like danhonggao (sweet pancakes), beef noodles, and feichangfen (intestine noodles), while also exploring local crafts such as sugar painting, bamboo weaving, and kung fu tea performances. Dongmen Marketplace to me captures the relaxed yet spirited essence of Chengdu. If you’re into down-to-earth local vibes, I highly recommend coming to this area in the evening, where the area would light up. I didn’t manage to because it was just a short transit for me in Chengdu.

Liuguang Feast · Drunken Jiangnan A grand event jointly organized by the newly opened Liu Jing Yan and FULONG Wine Estate in Dongmen Shijing. Under the dedicated efforts of Brother San, Dongmen Shijing is increasingly embracing a vibrant market atmosphere, and this restaurant stands out as the most stylish mid-to-high-end dining establishment. The ambiance is superb, featuring Nanyang-style private rooms with windows overlooking the lush green fields of the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications College, offering a soothing view. The meal presents a fusion of Jiangnan and Hunan cuisine, balancing familiar flavors with delightful surprises. Dishes like mashed broad beans wrapped in Chinese toon buds, sea cucumber braised with shrimp roe and spring bamboo shoots, and preserved mustard greens with Wagyu beef were all novel experiences for me. Culinary innovation and creativity are the driving forces behind gastronomic advancement. The wine pairing curated by FULONG Wine Estate was impeccable, even leading me, someone who doesn't typically drink, to a pleasant state of tipsiness. Dongmen Shijing

Amid the bustling atmosphere of Dongmen City, there is a restaurant that amazed me. I came here with friends for a small gathering on weekends, and the atmosphere was perfect! The exterior of the building is in the style of the Republic of China, with wooden doors and windows and retro signs, which seem to bring me back to the old times. Inside the store, elements of the Republic of China are everywhere, with retro red bricks and dark window frames, and every detail exudes the charm of old Shanghai. As an expert in fusion cuisine, Liujingyan really gave me a lot of surprises! The aroma of the signature Liujing braised pork goes straight into your nose as soon as it is served. The meat chunks are neatly shaped, bright red in color, soft and melt-in-the-mouth, and sweet but not greasy. The homemade jade tofu made with hair algae is said to be made by the store with soy milk and protein, paired with chopped spinach and soup, it tastes super good~🤗 💁‍♂️The service is also very considerate. The waiter will enthusiastically introduce the characteristics of each dish and the food culture behind it. The whole dining process is comfortable and enjoyable. #Liujingyandongmenshijingdian #Food exploration #Republic of China style food #Fusion cuisine
