Chengdu's lantern-lit street of Shu crafts, teahouses, and Sichuan snacks
Jinli Ancient Street is a reconstructed Qin-Han dynasty-style commercial street next to the Wuhou Shrine in central Chengdu, running along the Jin River and housing shops selling Shu embroidery, shadow puppets, and Three Kingdoms-themed crafts alongside teahouses and restaurants. The street is particularly magical at night when hundreds of red lanterns are reflected in the canal alongside the wooden pavilions.
