Jinli Ancient Street

Over

Korte feiten: This ancient street, about 550 meters long, has been bustling for over a thousand years. Red lanterns and all kinds of signboards hang on both sides, and the air is always filled with the aroma of spicy flavors and the sweet scent of sugar-oil balls. There is a Zhang Fei beef shop on the street where staff members dress up as the fierce general Zhang Fei from the Three Kingdoms period, shouting to attract customers, making it the most photogenic spot on the entire street.

Hoogtepunten: Jinli at night is even more enchanting than during the day. Orange lanterns light up one by one, turning the entire ancient street into a flowing river of red light. The most thrilling part is the Sichuan opera face-changing performance at the street corner. The performer changes masks in an instant just steps away, so fast that the naked eye can barely keep up, and the audience gasps in unison every time.

Insidertips

• 进门右手边的三大炮值得一看，师傅现场甩糯米团敲铜锣，声音比味道更精彩。
• 想拍人少的好照片，早上9点前或晚上10点后来，中间时段几乎走不动路。
• 街边的采耳摊收费30-50元，手法专业，千万别在摊主面前讨价还价，他们都是一群固执的老师傅。
• 最正宗的张飞牛肉可以往里走远一点再买，入口处的店铺客流大、货品放得久。
