Activity itinerary

Yulin Comprehensive Market

  • 40m
We step into Yulin Comprehensive Market — not a tourist attraction, but a real neighborhood wet market where locals do their daily shopping. Watch vendors hand-roll dumpling wrappers, slice fresh chili paste, and weigh out vegetables for the day's cooking. This is where you see what Chengdu people actually eat, before it becomes a restaurant dish. Your guide will introduce you to vendors, explain what's in season, and help you taste something you'd never point to on your own.

Fanghua Street

  • 30m
Fanghua Street is the heartbeat of Yulin — a tree-lined lane where old Chengdu and new Chengdu exist side by side. Independent coffee shops and boutique stores sit next to traditional teahouses where elderly locals spend their mornings. As you walk, you'll hear the rhythmic click of mahjong tiles drifting from open doors — a sound that defines daily life in this city. This is where young Chengdu comes to slow down, and where you'll have your first taste of what "Chengdu slow life" actually feels like.

Yulin West Road

  • 40m
Yulin West Road is where the evening comes alive. This is Chengdu's most beloved bar street — not a tourist nightlife strip, but a neighborhood where locals actually come to unwind after work. We'll stop at roadside stalls for authentic street snacks that you won't find on any restaurant menu, then settle into one of Yulin's signature craft beer bars as the sun goes down. Watch the neighborhood transform from a quiet residential street into a warm, buzzing gathering place — and experience firsthand why Chengdu people are famous for knowing how to enjoy life.
