Strolling down Ancient Well Road is like stepping into a living history book - this charming alleyway encapsulates Chengdu's authentic local vibe. Weathered brick buildings with grey tiles stand alongside sizzling spicy hotpot stalls, where you can hunt for legends of the century-old well while nibbling on granny's handmade caramel-glazed rice balls. When red lanterns illuminate the street at night, the whole area transforms into a vibrant folk museum. Don't miss trying the traditional bamboo bucket water-drawing technique!
