Wide and Narrow Alleys Kuanzhai Alleys
Kuan-Zhai Alley is Chengdu’s most photogenic historic street. The West Sichuan residential style, with its blue-gray bricks and dark-gray tiles, makes for stunning photos. But remember: just take photos and check in here; head to neighboring Kuixinglou Street for dining and shopping.

Night cruise on the Jinjiang River Jinjiang Night Cruise
Chengdu is two different cities by night and by day. Taking a boat ride to view the Jinjiang River’s night scenery, with lights reflecting on the water’s surface and the vibrant lights of Lan Kwai Fong intertwining with the ancient charm of Hejiang Pavilion—this is the quintessential way to experience Chengdu’s nightlife.
