Tour Jinli

I had nothing to do yesterday afternoon and planned to go out for a walk. After thinking about it, I decided to go to Jinli to play. I remember playing with my friends once in 2019, but at that time I came out to play at night, and I didn't enjoy it . This revisit to the hometown should be a different experience.

Jinli is actually a pedestrian street with a long history. It was very famous during the Three Kingdoms period, when it was a gathering place for small traders and hawkers . Here you can find a lot of Three Kingdoms elements, small crafts, food and more.

Jinli is adjacent to Wuhou Temple. If you are visiting Chengdu for the first time, it is recommended to go to Wuhou Temple first, and then go to Jinli, and you can feel the cultural atmosphere of the Three Kingdoms era . Wuhou Temple has a long-standing reputation. Many literati and writers have visited and wrote inscriptions in history. It has a strong historical atmosphere and is worth visiting. I checked Wikipedia by the way:

Wuhou Temple is the only temple in China where monarchs and ministers worship together, the most prestigious memorial site for Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei and Shu Han heroes, and the most influential museum of the Three Kingdoms relics in the country.

I have been to Wuhou Temple twice before, but I didn't visit it this time, but there are a lot of tourists who go in and visit, and they all want to get close to the cultural atmosphere of the Three Kingdoms era.

Closer to business, it is said that Jinlijing said Wuhou Temple. There is a couplet at the main entrance of Jinli Pedestrian Street: the history of the Three Kingdoms, the Qin and Han Dynasties, and the guests gathered in Wuzhou to enjoy the ancient and the modern. This couplet contains the meaning that Jinli has a long history, the Qin and Han Dynasties have been famous far and wide, and the guests from five continents will gather here .

Entering the gate, along the main street, you can see many unique crafts , such as clay sculptures of the Three Kingdoms villains, sugar blowing figures, paper-cutting, brown weaving, shadow puppet props and so on. Looking at these handicrafts that I have seen in my childhood, I have a feeling of going back in time and returning to my childhood .

One of the craftsmanship places that impresses me the most is a small shop for silver jewelry processing . Take a look at the full of silver ingots, and you will feel like you are embracing the golden mountains and silver mountains, and you are rich enough to rival the country.

The people who come to Jinli today can be described as a sea of people. After passing the main street in front, you need to pass through a gate called Hansi. "Han Si" in ancient times referred to the market, which is equivalent to entering this door, and then I officially entered the market in Jinli in ancient times .

The back street is completely different from the front street. It is no longer based on craftsmanship, but focuses on Sichuan specialties, gourmet food, and leisure and entertainment . There are everything to eat, drink, play, and play here, so I don't know what to pick.

On the side of the road, there were two "Bronze" people and tourists posing for pictures. The exaggerated movements and shapes made the onlookers laugh .

Going deeper, there is a bridge. There are many teahouses on both sides of the bridge. You can enjoy Sichuan Opera performances while drinking tea and food. Of course, the most famous one is the face-changing of Sichuan Opera. I passed by a large open-air theater, and happened to come across the face-changing of Sichuan Opera. With the rhythm of the music of "Changing Face", the actors constantly switch masks, and the most amazing thing is that they can be changed back when they are gone. The superb acting skills made many tourists clapp their hands in amazement .

Finally, it’s time to talk to everyone about the food. In fact, I don’t know what to choose. When I see something fresh, I want to buy it and try it. In the end, I bought a large sausage, a portion of Yuhualu, and a portion of Sanxian bean curd. Haha, this big sausage is thick enough, if you want to get one, of course the one you bought is definitely not as big .

Playing Jinli this time is to make up for the regret that I didn't enjoy it before . Jinli is indeed a good place to visit. If you come to Sichuan to travel, it is recommended to come and visit, I believe it will leave a deep impression on everyone. Only in Jinli will you truly understand what "Bashi" and "Anyi" mean in Sichuan dialect .
