Meet your guide and start your half-day walk through one of Chengdu's most beloved residential areas. Begin with a coffee on a tree-lined street, then wander through morning markets and crooked alleyways.

Watch retired locals play mahjong next door to speciality coffee shops, and end the evening at a craft beer bar where young Chengdu comes to unwind.

Explore a area where elderly residents do their grocery shopping at a wet market that's been there for decades, while just around the corner, a barista carefully pours single-origin coffee.

See a mahjong hall full of retirees sitting quietly next to a bar playing indie music. Experience the contrast of old and new, unhurried and alive, and discover the Chengdu that locals actually love.
