Jinli Street

Here’s the ultimate Chengdu evening stroll for food lovers and families 🌙🥢 If you’re searching for night vibes in China’s chill capital, Jinli Street is the spot—you’ll get neon-lit alleyways, endless snacks, and a truly local atmosphere. Must-See Spot: Jinli Street 📍 Address: No. 231 Wuhouyu Street, Wuhou District, Chengdu ⏰ Opening Hours: Open all day (but it comes alive at night!) Jinli Street absolutely shines after dark. I highly recommend starting your walk after dinner time—the lanterns are lit, the air is buzzing, and every corner smells delicious. There’s a massive variety of street food stalls serving spicy noodles, crispy rabbit head (try if you dare!), local sweets, and classic Sichuan skewers. Families will love watching the shadow puppeteers and artisans along the way. Travel Hack: Go with an empty stomach! Don’t eat beforehand—half the fun is trying as many little bites as you can. It’s totally okay to sample and wander. If you want to avoid big crowds, start your walk around 7 pm (it’s less packed than later in the night). Also, keep some cash handy as some stalls may not take cards or mobile payment. Getting Around: Metro Line 3 or 1 gets you to Wuhou District, and then Jinli Street is a short walk from the station. Taxis and ride-hailing apps are super convenient if you’re traveling with family. Family Bonus: Safe, lively, lots of entertainment—kids and grown-ups will both love the energy and sights. #ChengduEats #JinliStreet #ChinaNightlife #FamilyTravel #Tripdotcom
