The Taste of Old Chengdu 'Dongmen Market'

In Chengdu, there is a place, quiet and leisurely, a person with a bowl of tea can sit for an afternoon. It is Dongmen Market! Entering Dongmen Market, the bustling crowd, not crowded, the road paved with bluestone, the buildings of gray bricks and green tiles, as if returning to the period of the Republic of China. The shops on the side of the road have Chengdu sugar noodles, ear picking shops, barber shops, etc., recreating the scene of the market during the Republic of China, and revisiting the taste of old Chengdu. Experience the life of Chengdu market here, Kung Fu tea, ear picking, bamboo weaving and other traditional non-heritage cultures, especially the classic umbrella pedaling skills, Sichuan opera face-changing, these old cultural heritages win applause every day. What's special is that you can't miss the bamboo chair and bowl tea. Three or five friends sit on the bamboo chair and drink bowl tea, chat, bask in the sun, it's so comfortable! Inside Dongmen Market, the Chengdu in Mr. Li Jieren's pen is restored here Li Jieren's former residence is next to it, and you can see the simple life of him and his wife's family in the former residence. Li Mansion architectural complex, sunken market square, plank shops, old tea shops, pavilions and waterside pavilions... etc., for tourists to visit.
