A Taste of Real Chengdu Through Markets, Snacks and Hidden Streets

Skip the tourist traps. This is not Kuanzhai Alley. This is not Jinli.
This is a walk through the Chengdu that locals actually live in - the supermarkets they shop at, the streets they eat on, and the tea houses they've been going to for generations.
In one half-day, you'll taste your way through the city's everyday flavors, walk streets that tell stories of old and new Chengdu, and end with a cup of tea at a century-old tea house, just as Chengdu people have been doing for over 100 years.
