Stroll down Hancheng Road and dive into Chengdu's authentic local vibes! This bustling old street is packed with hidden gems—hole-in-the-wall food stalls wafting spicy aromas, from fiery hotpot to golden sugar-glazed pastries. In vintage teahouses, grandpas gossip in Sichuan dialect while indie boutiques display handcrafted silver jewelry. Don't miss the legendary 30-year-old Zhong Dumpling stall at the corner, where crowds queue for paper-thin wrappers bursting with juicy fillings. Pro tip: dunk them in their signature chili oil – that's the soul of Old Chengdu!
