Jinli Ancient Street, Traditional shopping street in Wuhou District, Chengdu, China
Jinli Ancient Street is a pedestrian street lined with traditional wooden buildings featuring curved roofs and red lanterns, stretching several hundred meters. The road contains many shops selling handicrafts and local food, mixing older structures with modern commercial spaces.
The street originated as a marketplace during the Qin Dynasty and served as an important trading center for the region across many centuries. It fell into decline but underwent major restoration work in the early 2000s and reopened as a visitor attraction.
The street keeps traditional Chinese ways alive through tea houses and performance spaces where people gather for everyday life and seasonal celebrations. You can see how old crafts and local customs are still part of daily activities here.
Plan to spend time wandering at your own pace to explore the shops and try local food, as there is much to discover along the way. The street is freely accessible and encourages leisurely strolls through the various vendor stalls and eating areas.
After dark, hundreds of red lanterns light up across the buildings, completely transforming the feel of the place from daytime. Local vendors openly prepare traditional Sichuan dishes in their front kitchens at night, turning the street into a lively evening gathering spot.
