Kuanzhai Alley in Chengdu, a must-visit on your travel list!
I stepped into the renowned Kuanzhai Alley, first captivated by the modern cityscape of towering buildings and the bustling traffic outside. But as I walked into this ancient street, it felt like I had traveled through time to a completely different world.
Kuanzhai Alley, located near Changshun Street in Qingyang District of Chengdu, Sichuan Province, consists of parallel arrangements of Wide Alley, Narrow Alley, and Well Alley. The architecture here is all about antique Siheyuan courtyards with grey tiles and bricks, simple yet elegant. As one of the larger Qing Dynasty streets remaining in Chengdu, Kuanzhai Alley, along with Daci Temple and Wenshu Monastery, is known as one of the three major historical and cultural preservation districts of the city.
Stepping into Wide Alley, this place is a nostalgic area with an old face. Walking on the stone-paved road of Wide Alley, the old tile houses and the simple floor tiles on both sides made me feel as if I had returned to the past. Especially the old photos displayed on the cultural wall vividly bring back the scenes of life from the past.
Next, I arrived at Narrow Alley. Narrow Alley is a 'slow life' zone, showcasing the courtyard culture of old Chengdu. The courtyards are mostly occupied by stylish bars and restaurants, where tourists and hipsters spend their afternoons leisurely, experiencing the stillness of time. The various Western-style eateries, casual dining spots, coffee shops, and art leisure stores on Narrow Alley add a touch of petty bourgeoisie charm to the area.
Well Alley is located to the south of Narrow Alley and was known as Ruyi Lane or Mingde Lane during the Qing Dynasty. After the Xinhai Revolution, it was renamed 'Well Alley'. This place is a reenactment of the old market scenes of Chengdu, allowing me to delve deeper into the history and culture of the city.
Here, there is not only ancient architecture and unique culture but also delicious food and a warm atmosphere.

⚠️Tips
1. It is recommended to stay near Taikoo Li or Kuanzhai Alley in the city center, where it is convenient for both food and lodging
2. When I travel, I always bring cold medicine and allergy medicine, especially in the spring when seasonal allergies are common. For example, when my immunity is low due to a cold, it can trigger allergic rhinitis, causing sneezing, runny nose, and nasal congestion that makes me question life. Fortunately, I always prepare some medicine before going out:
①Isatis root granules can prevent colds well, and Andrographis paniculata extract pills can clear heat and detoxify
②I will also bring cetirizine hydrochloride tablets, which can relieve my nasal congestion, sneezing, and other allergic symptoms. Especially when traveling in spring, I am most likely to have pollen allergies, taking one pill will make me feel much more comfortable and adds a layer of protection to my trip

Situated in the downtown of Chengdu city, Kuanzhai Alley (宽窄巷子), or Wide & Narrow Alleys, consists of Kuan Alley (Wide Alley), Zhai Alley (Narrow Alley), and Jing Alley. The three streets are the left part of the buildings after the chaos of war in the Qing Dynasty (A.D. 1636-1912). Still maintaining the original looks for hundreds of years, Kuanzhai Alley has been attracting millions of tourists by the typical buildings in ancient Qing style of quadrangle courtyard, Chengdu local snacks, life of old Chengdu, etc. Moreover, fashionable bars with many young singers and various restaurants are abundant in Kuanzhai Alley, making this place a combination of traditional Chinese culture and modern life.

KuanZhai Alley in Chengdu.
KuanZhai Alley is one of the most important landmarks and tourist attractions of Chengdu. The recommended sightseeing time is between one to two hours. Beautiful surroundings, impressive architecture are two characteristics that make worthy to visit this place. Speaking of food, it would take a long time to sample all the traditional dishes. Every speciality is reasonably-priced so there is no excuse to try some local cuisine. After the visit, you can also enjoy some shopping or nice food as there are many restaurants and shops around the area. This place is open 24 hours.

Kuanzhai Alley - show, food, souvenirs
Getting There - metro line 4 (宽窄巷子站)
Attractions - traditional performance, tea rooms, local food and souvenirs
Food & Restaurants - MUG (craft beer bar)
Kuanzhai Alley is a very touristic place. I don't think that local people often go to the place like this, it's busy and a bit expensive. However as tourists we had a lot of fun exploring shops and watching a face changing show in the little theatre. If you are around this area, go to a craft brewery there called MUG

Chengdu Book Store, located beside a narrow alley, can be accessed via an orange spiral staircase. The view from the entrance is stunning. The space inside is divided in a unique manner, and there are beautiful sights all around. The bookstore sells coffee, and there are also seats so that you can sit and read. You can also buy souvenirs, potted plants, and much more.
Kiki.Liang.
Kyanzhai Alley is regular walking street with expensive restaurants and bars. It looks new and beautiful. There were a lot of people. Around this area are scattered small shops with locally manufactured special products and gifts. Painting and replica on the walls are vivid and make impression that it is like in 3 dimension.
I think it should be visited to make a whole city portrait, especially, taking into account that Alley is located so close to Chengdu People's park.

After giving birth to the baby, I didnt return to Chengdu for a while. I felt that I changed the tourists instantly, and went to the wide and narrow alleys for a circle. Visitors took ^^ drops!
Share a few small experiences:
1, all the snacks in Kuanzhai Alley are not good (note that it is all!) If you eat, it is recommended to take a few steps, there is a good food to Guihua Lane. Eat, and the squid noodles in the alley is not bad
2, if you have not tried public ears, you can try
3, if you want to avoid the crowd, please come early in the morning or in the middle of the night, don't be afraid to close the door, don't have The general flavor of my first time to Kuanzhai Alley is one o'clock in the morning, the small bar is still open, very mood
4, afternoon tea can just look for a good looking to sit down and drink, some can see what is changing face, Basically, the performances in different shops in the wide and narrow alleys are similar, because basically the actors are everywhere, and it is not recommended for dinner.

When it comes to Chengdu's tourist attractions, it is a wide and narrow alley. It must not be missed. In the bungalows near the Jingxiangzi, various small shops are distributed as if they were in ancient times. There is a feeling of crossing.
There are also very lovely B&Bs nearby, and their pandas are decorated with ginkgo leaves.
There is also a sign of the wellhead near the well alley. The map of Chengdu is surrounded by the wellhead. It is very distinctive and very design.
mentioned in Chengdu, most tourists think of the wide and narrow alleys, but the well alley is rarely known. In fact, the distance from the well alley to the wide alley is only a few steps away.

Speaking of Chengdu attractions, Kuanzhai Alley should be the most abandoned place but still a lot of tourists. So, why do tourists who come to Chengdu generally go to the place of punching cards? Kuanzhai Alley is a relatively large-scale Qing Dynasty ancient street left by Chengdu. It has a certain ancient charm, such as the entrance to the wide and narrow alley. Old-fashioned sewing machines, bicycles of the 80s and 90s... These vivid three-dimensional wall paintings have become a backdrop for tourists to take photos with, and it is a good place to take tourists.
There is an old Chengdu Life Experience Hall on the wide alley. The folk customs and old Chengdu folk customs are here, and perhaps you can see some of the shadows of old Chengdu life. The narrow alley is the slow life area, where there are many quite styled bars and restaurants, suitable for young artists.
Jojos trip.
