This is a wonderful area to just wander and admire the surroundings. The gardens and water features are beautiful while it's also a great place for people watching and just absorbing all of the sights, sounds and smells. You have to visit this area if you go to Chengdu.

Gave it a better than average rating as one can get to taste the various local snacks all in one place. Interesting architectural buildings - not sure if they were the real ones or have been restored. Good and interesting enough for a visit.

Old style Chengdunese culture street, especially great in the evening with the red lights on. It also contains many interesting things - traditional Chinese cafe with local wines, sugar cane drinks, arrow shooting, ear massage, lollypop making. But the best thing is the snack street with cheap and extremely tasty local snacks!

I would not spend more than 1 hour there, preferably in the evening as it is nice when the lights are up. Not a place to find solitude or have a quiet romantic meal though! Good for entertainment with live bands etc, also a good way of trying out the food you have never seen before as it is clearly... More

These are not "ancient" streets. But Jinli is still a fun place to walk around, see some lovely craftwork mixed in with the junk, get your ears cleaned (!!), and look at an interesting cross section of people. Go, enjoy, have a laugh.

If you don't mind being with great masses of people pushing and shoving you will be OK. Great food outlets

it was touristy, but a fun and busy shopping area. The food street was on the other side. There was a Starbucks and that was fun. Lots of things to take pictures of. I would go again.
