  Kuanzhai Alley has convenient transportation. You can take Metro Line 4 to Kuanzhai Alley Station, or take multiple buses (such as Line 5, Line 13, Line 43, etc.) to Jinhe Road Station or Changshun Shangjie Station.

  3. Special experience

  In Kuanzhai Alley, you can experience the leisure life, slow life and new life of Chengdu. For example, taste local special snacks (such as hot pot, three cannons, etc.), visit Shu embroidery shops and silver jewelry shops, or enjoy a cup of Mengshan Huangya in a teahouse.

  4. Introduction to the scenic spot

  Kuanzhai Alley was built in the Qing Dynasty. It is the only 2 remaining of the 33 Qing Dynasty soldier alleys in Chengdu. It is a courtyard-style building. The west entrance of Kuan Alley is the territory of Xianghongqi, and the west entrance of Zhai Alley is the station of Zhenghongqi. At that time, it was not called Kuanzhai Alley, but was called "Xingren Alley" and "Taiping Alley" respectively. It was not until the early years of the Republic of China that this name with obvious northern style was replaced by "Kuanzhai Alley" and has been used to this day.
