Visit the ancient streets of Chengdu and taste unforgettable snack prose.

Tianfu Chengdu, because of work needs, I have made three short stops, but this is the first time to visit the ancient street Jinli.

A person's journey, free, no time limit, no need to worry about others.

With the flow of people, I walked on the winding bluestone road, which has been stepped as smooth as a mirror. Old streets, mansions, houses, inns, shops and Wannian Terrace come into view. The grey walls of blue tiles are strewn at random, and the eaves of water buckets are raised high, which makes people feel that time and space go back, and truly feel the ancient style of China and the charm of Ming and Qing Dynasties.

The ancient street, just 350 meters long, integrates tourism, shopping, leisure and entertainment. Teahouses, restaurants, bars, tourist handicrafts and Sichuan specialty products are dazzling, and stalls with various characteristics are all over the block. There is also a lively folk food street, with countless famous snacks with the most Sichuan characteristics, so that every tourist can enjoy the original Sichuan flavor, experience the lively atmosphere of the ancient town of western Sichuan and feel the Sichuan tea and Sichuan cuisine while eating and playing.

Take a closer look at the petite and handsome frontispiece, next to which are teahouses, inns, bars, handicrafts and local products shops. Occasionally I saw that "Zhang Fei" with a big black face and heavy eyebrows standing at the door, hawking his real name beef. It's interesting, but he dare not aim the camera at him. There are also children's favorite cotton candy and Tang Hua blowing, which are full of childlike joy and childhood memories.

On both sides of the street, most of them are low old buildings. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the houses in western Sichuan were hung with jubilant red lanterns, which were in line with the style of small shops, such as "Zhang Fei Beef" and "Love in the East and Rhyme in the West", all of which were fashionable lanterns with unique shapes and colorful shops. Although they are all big and vulgar, the pictures are just to attract people's attention and make a big fuss.

If I have time, I really hope to live in an inn, hang silk lanterns high and feel the magic of time and space change in the bright lights all night. Even if you are not hungry, walking on the delicious street, the unique aroma of Sichuan cuisine will fill the streets and lanes, which will definitely arouse your appetite and make you stop and concentrate on enjoying its making process, and then pay the bill. Look at the tourists who are standing, sitting, eating while walking, buying and eating. Most of them are young MM, that is, hot and gentle noodles in Chengdu dialect. They ate with relish, and their soft mouths were like singing Chengdu dialect. Although I don't understand what they are saying, it is really a beautiful scenery in Jinli.

I was walking when there were three banging sounds in front of the stall. I quickened my pace and approached to look. The lintel said "Three Snacks", and I saw a tourist leave with something just made.

"Interesting, have one," I told the workshop workers softly.

"Very good."

Wait, I want to shoot.

"no problem"

I saw that the workshop workers skillfully pulled out three small rice balls from a steamed rice ball and slammed them on a copper plate inlaid with three cymbals on both sides. After the sound of "Knock, Knock, Knock", the round rice ball flips lightly like a naughty child and jumps into the dustpan covered with powder in turn. A roll down, delicious powder wrapped all over the body. Workers put meatballs in disposable bowls with clips, and then pour thick red syrup on them. The delicious three shots are finished.

I stuck a toothpick into my mouth, soft and elastic, and a sweet glutinous rice fragrance filled my teeth and cheeks and penetrated into my heart. Three guns is a delicious and chewy snack.

Chengdu Jinli, an art gallery integrating Shu and Han cultures, is the famous first street in West Shu where history and modernity blend. In this ancient street, there are not only masks of Sichuan Opera that are well-known in China, but also colorful performances by folk artists: paper-cutting, shadow play and rice carving stunts. ..............................................................................................................................

Night has quietly fallen, red lanterns with unique oriental characteristics are lit up, and the ancient street and Jinli are another dazzling and charming scenery in the eyes of tourists. The fun and delicious old street will always be a beautiful and unforgettable memory.
