Description

Route Overview: Nijiaqiao Exit E - Yulin Market - Fanghua Street - Local Tea Shop

Start from Nijiaqiao Station Exit E and follow the locals into Yulin Market, a place full of everyday life. People chat, play cards under the trees, and shop for fresh produce. You can also taste some local street favorites, simple, flavorful bites that show Chengdu’s true taste. Next, stroll along Fanghua Street, a charming lane lined with dessert cafés, vintage shops, and cozy Polaroid studios. The aroma of coffee and the soft afternoon light make this part of the walk relaxing and enjoyable. Finally, visit a local tea shop that has been here for over 20 years. Unlike the busy teahouses at People’s Park, this place focuses on the art of tea. The tea master will prepare Jasmine, Oolong, Pu’er, and other high-quality teas while sharing the stories and traditions behind each type. It’s also a perfect place to pick up a souvenir gift. The master can help you find one that fits your taste and preference. As she says, there’s no absolute “better” or “worse” tea — only what you enjoy most.

I highly recommend this tour to experience a local side of Chengdu. And you get to try a lot of great local food spots, so show up hungry :)

Hermoso paseo

Iris fue una guia asombrosa. Me contó muchas cosas de su cultura. Compartimos un día hermoso recorriendo mercados, cafeterias y lugares muy únicos de la ciudad de Chengdu. Su inglés era excelente y nos pudimos comunicar sin problemas Recomiendo realizar este tour para una primera inmersion de la vida en esta bella ciudad

Chengdu tour

The tour with Iris was very interesting and comprehensive. She took us to some of the best food spots in the city and helped us discover the local food scene. She was also absolutely lovely.

Fantastic local insights! Highly Recommend!

As I was the only person booked on the tour on the day, Iris was kind enough to customise the tour to my interests and we tried some amazing foods at genuine local places and spent the afternoon drinking tea at the tea shop as I wanted to buy some good quality Sichuan tea. Highly recommend!
