Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I could not see a special thing in the street… the stores are selling similar products…. Ordinary market.
The only thing which was worth was to buy a piece of art from a good Chinese artist working with egg shelves and painting nice portraits… you find him on the center area of the street!

Part of the old city in Chengdu which is used as a tourist attraction. Vehicles cannot go inside. A narrow alley with a stone path and on the left and right old buildings that have been converted into souvenir and food vendors as well as performances by local artists. Various kinds of typical Chengdu or Sichuan street food are sold here. But of course most of them are not the best but are aimed at tourists.
In the evening it is decorated with various lights. Interestingly enough, we here had the opportunity to try traditional foods such as mochi.

This is a lovely "ancient" shopping street located right next to the Wuhou Ci (Wu Hou Shrine Temple of Marquis) where many ancient building structures, historical shop/tea houses along the tiny walklanes and bridges, where you will find like walking into the memory lane of ancient China, though a little touristy.
There are many eateries, restaurants and food booths here, with local and international cusines and you will be spoiled for choices, not to mention, many shops selling souvenirs and local delicacies, arts and handicrafts etc. There's also an open air teahouse where you can enjoy live singing performances (2pm-8pm) while having your drinks under the trees and clear blue sky.
If you come in the evening, that will be perfect as the area wil be lit with many beautiful red lanterns along the walklanes and bridges. It's so nice.

We liked Jinli Street a little better than Kkuanzhai Alley. Almost all the streets were decorated with the typical lanterns, there were street food stalls, many small "restaurants", souvenir shops, the "ear cleaners" again and a small pond. All in all, an atmospheric and cozy market.
Of course there were a lot of people around, but it wasn't crowded, especially at the small pond.
We were unlucky with the food - we should have just chosen something from the street food stalls. Instead, we went to a small restaurant called "Mama's Hof" (google translation) and ended up with a pig's foot that was just fat.

Day and night, this street and its side streets, is the most populated by locals and sightseers. The area is home to a half kilometre length of shops and eateries. A lot of unique items are offered for sale, and some street foods that you may have not seen before.

Similar to Kuanzhai Alley, but more crowded and a little stinkier. It is right next to Wuhouci shrine and it is a bit confusing in terms of entrance and exit. There is no inside passage between one and the other, one would have to exit Jinli Street and enter Wuhouci separately.

This place is like a beer garden and a Bazaar combined together. There are plenty of souvenir shops and food eateries.
If you would like to experience the local culture and this is the place to visit. There is however a lot of similarity as Kwanzhai alley.
There are tea houses and eating places offering Sichuan opera. There are at least a few vendors that offer ear cleaning services. There is also a massive courtyard where you can sit down and enjoy food from different stores and drink Chinese tea at the same time. I am sure they offer beer as well.

Has the feeling that this is something you almost see in every city in China. Snack booth, souvenirs souvenirs souvenirs and somehow a little bit of local influence which would be the panda background and the opera.
It’s good but not something new for China travelers so go ahead check it out for an hour or 2 maximum I would say

After visiting the pandas, Jinli Old Street ranks as one of Chengdu's top tourist attractions.
Maybe the street was once charming (many of the buildings are indeed beautiful), but everything has turned into ugly food stalls and tourist trinket shops, swarming with people who apparently find this exciting.
We found it an absolutely dreadful experience with no authenticity or charm.

This was such an awesome part of Chengdu. The food was so good, and the streets seemed to never end. You can be there for such a long time, and still not be able to see every little shop. I recommend going at night so you can see the lights at night. It almost feels like a China town in China haha

初めて中国に行きます。
ここのような街並みは上海にはないですか？豫園(ヨエン)や田子坊（ティエン ズ ファン）とどのように変わりますか？
This is the first time for me to go China,
is there any this kind of streetscape other than here?
No Shanghai？
What’s the difference Yu Yuan and Tianzifang?
Written 8 July 2018
上海でいえば、豫园だと思います。観光客向けで、お土産もの屋さんや食べ物屋さんがひたすら建ち並んだエリアなので。田子坊は、どちらかというと宽窄巷子のイメージです。観光客だけでなく、地元の若者も沢山来るギャラリー&ショップやレストラン&カフェが建ち並んだストリートだから。

Only just seen the question, so sorry about late reply. Its a major tourist attraction, so any taxi driver will know, but as others have said, get your hotel receptionist to write it in chinese. FORGET about Googling anything out there - western apps are pretty much all blocked by the Great Firewall. VPN ok in hotel, but useless on the move via phone.

YES! Sims Cozy Hello Chendgu International Youth Hostel; (028)83355322/(0)13330965557; email contact through Tripadvisor, HI-USA, or just google it. I was escorting my 84-year old mother overseas 07JUN-29JUL2014, and we had the extreme pleasure of overnighting here. This exquisite, well-run establishment was extremely easy to get to from the North train station AFTER I spoke with Georgia (excellent English speaker; there are others) who gave perfect directions. Staying there was inexpensive, although out of consideration for my mother, a bit more as I booked a private en-suite room (Western-style toilet!), which was on the top floor. Access was quite easy with the lift, also important as she uses a cane and goes slow. Tours, near (Panda Research Station) and far are readily available on the ground floor, close to the front counter. Also in consideration for my mother, I booked a private tour through JACK who had knowledgeable LUNA guide us. It included the Giant Panda Research Station, the mountain carved Buddha 2 hours away by private motorcar, two pedestrian/commercial zones, historical sites, a bit pricy but well worth it. Anyway, because public transit is so available and reliable, it's easy to get around. In my opinion, it is well worth staying at this hostel; convenience, cost, access, comfort make Sims Hello the best choice!
