宽窄巷子

Kuanzhai Alley

Download poster

Kuanzhai Alley retains a group of courtyard streets and alleys in the original Mancheng area of Chengdu's old city. It has now been transformed into a pedestrian commercial area integrating teahouses, snacks, retail and cultural displays. This is a suitable place to observe the scale of the courtyard and the commercial use of heritage, but one should not mistake the uniformly operated tourist block for an unaltered residential alley.

Getting there

Kuanzhai Alley Station is the most convenient entrance. It can be connected to People's Park on foot, forming a contrast between the tourist commercial street and daily public space.

Practical notes

If you want to see the architecture, you can arrive early, if you want to feel the atmosphere, you can go later, but you need to expect heavy crowds. Compare prices before purchasing, keep your belongings safe, and continue walking to observe the city streets beyond the main street.
