Discover life in Chengdu on a leisurely walking tour with an experienced guide. See contemporary buildings like the New Chengdu Museum and Sichuan Library, explore the historical Kuan-Zhai Lane area, and visit People’s Park. Stop for tea at a traditional teahouse, and savor an authentic Chinese snack from a street vendor. You'll also check out local hangouts where residents go through their usual routines, from exercise to matchmaking. Throughout this 4-hour tour, hear informative commentary about the history, culture and latest trends of Chengdu.
Your Chengdu walking tour starts at 1 pm at the Mao Zedong statue at Tianfu Square, where you'll meet your guide.
Walk to see three modern buildings that are becoming new landmarks in the city: Sichuan Art Gallery, Sichuan Library and the New Chengdu Museum. You may be interested in walking in and see the history and art, or simply admire the architecture from the outside.
Next, head over to the Kuan-Zhai Lane area, one of Chengdu’s three historic conservation districts. Constructed in 1718 during the early years of the Qing dynasty, this pleasant pedestrian thoroughfare is home to a fascinating mix of classic Sichuan architecture and modern cafes and boutiques. While you walk, listen to commentary from your guide about the district's history and design, and witness how some of the city's old establishments — local restaurants, traditional teahouses, Chinese calligraphy demonstrations — sit alongside the new.
