Chengdu Ancient Town - Virtual Walking Tour w/Cici

Welcome to Chengdu's Historic District!

Wide Alley (Kuan Xiangzi), Narrow Alley (Zhai Xiangzi), and Well Alley (Jing Xiangzi) are three ancient alleys in Chengdu, dating back to the Qing Dynasty (1644 - 1911 AD). Originally part of a military settlement known as Mancheng City, the alleys have become a vibrant cultural and historical site following extensive renovations in 2008. With 45 courtyards and a blend of old and new architecture, the alleys offer a glimpse into the city’s past while embracing modernity. Wide Alley captures the leisurely and traditional lifestyle of Chengdu, with teahouses and exhibits showcasing old Chengdu life. Narrow Alley reflects courtyard culture, with serene homes and bamboo gardens, embodying the slow, relaxed rhythm of life. Well Alley, the most modern, is lively and diverse, offering a mix of pubs, dessert shops, and venues for weddings and nightlife. Together, these alleys form a microcosm of Chengdu's rich history and vibrant present.

Meet Cici – Your Chengdu Travel Guide!

Hi, I'm Cici, born on January 31 and an ENFJ through and through! As a natural people person, I love connecting with others and making friends from all over the world. Travel is one of my biggest passions—I've been to many places, but the seaside always has a special place in my heart. There's nothing quite like the waves and sunsets to fill me with a sense of romance.

I believe in living life with purpose and planning. A well-organized life and fully planned travels bring me great fulfillment. When I'm not exploring new destinations, you can find me enjoying my favorite Sichuan cuisine—hot pot, roasted meats, and endless delicious snacks. I’d love to share the vibrant flavors of my hometown, Chengdu, with you!

Whether you're curious about the world or eager to experience the wonders of China, Chengdu and I welcome you with open arms. Let's explore together!
