Places only known by locals in Chengdu

Every tourist city has a few popular online tourist attractions, but these places have one thing in common: local citizens absolutely do not go there, yet out-of-town tourists must check in. Kuanzhai Alley in Chengdu is one such place that is heavily frequented by tourists but definitely not by locals. In contrast, locals in Chengdu prefer to visit the 'Jiangnan style' ancient street in the south of the city, which is known to suit the lifestyle of the old Chengdu residents who live in the more expensive southern part. This street, hailed as 'Chengdu's Jiangnan Ancient Street,' is none other than: Tie Xiang Si Shui Street. The old street integrates the architectural style of Western Sichuan residential buildings, preserving a large number of Western Sichuan residential building complexes. Moreover, it still retains ancient pagodas, ancient plank bridges, and a Ming Dynasty ancient temple that dates back more than 400 years, all of which vividly preserve the rich local life customs of Chengdu. It unreservedly showcases the market life of the old Chengdu residents. Tie Xiang Si Shui Street
