Jinyuan Alley

Step into Jinyuan Alley and be transported to old Chengdu! This hidden lane dazzles with gray-tiled Sichuan houses sandwiched between modern high-rises, where the aroma of spicy hotpot mingles with the clinking of mahjong tiles in roadside teahouses. Don't miss the legendary golden sugar-glared rice balls at the alley's entrance – that crispy-chewy texture has been a local obsession for 30 years. It's where Chengdu's old-world charm comes alive in every steaming teapot and sizzling wok.
