In the bustling city of Chengdu, there is an ancient street that quietly tells a thousand-year story - Jinli. It is located near the Wuhou Temple, neighboring the Jinjiang River in the north and the Rainbow Bridge in the east, like a ribbon connecting the history and culture of Chengdu.

When you walk into Jinli, you will be greeted by ancient buildings. Most of the buildings here are from the Qing Dynasty, like courtyard houses, couplet arch gates, four-cornered pavilions and embedded flower gates. The streets are lined with Sichuan residential style buildings from the late Qing Dynasty, echoing the style of the Wuhou Ancestral Temple, and the green stone roads and wooden doors and windows exude a simple and elegant atmosphere, as if people traveled to ancient times.

Cultural activities in Jinli are colorful and diverse. It has preserved a rich folk culture, such as Sichuan Opera, handmade paper making and Shu embroidery. Watching the Sichuan Opera performance, the magic of face-changing is amazing; experiencing the handmade paper making and Shu embroidery with your own hands, you can feel the mastery of traditional handicrafts. These are the embodiment of the wisdom of the Chengdu people, but also a window into the culture of Chengdu.

Food is one of the highlights of Jinli. Numerous Chengdu specialties are gathered here, such as Zhang Fei Beef, Fatty Intestine Vermicelli, Cold Cake, Ye'er Ba, Three Cannons, and Sad Cold Vermicelli. The snacks are lined up on Jiu Pin Street and are full of aroma. The affordable and delicious snacks let people enjoy the beauty of the ancient street and feel the unique Chengdu flavor while tasting.

When night falls, Jinli has a different flavor. With red lanterns hanging high and the streets bustling with activity, it's as if you've returned to the heyday of the Shu Han Dynasty. Jinli's pagodas, wooden gates, stone paths, street eaves and the Wuhou Temple are all perfect for night photography, and tourists take photos to record the memories of a thousand years of travel.

Strolling through Jinli is like being in a historical scroll. Every brick and tile, every blade of grass and every tree here is full of stories. People can temporarily forget the hustle and bustle of the city and immerse themselves in the tranquility and beauty. Jinli is not only a tourist attraction, but also a place of cultural inheritance, a business card of Chengdu, carrying the history and culture of Chengdu and the wisdom of its people. It attracts tourists from home and abroad to come and leave good memories, and spreads the memory of Chengdu to all over the world.
