Take a break, drink tea

In Chengdu, teahouse gatherings are a cherished cultural tradition where locals gather not only for a cup of tea, but also to relax, socialize, or chat with friends over a game of cards or Chinese chess. Some teahouses feature live performances such as traditional music, storytelling or Sichuan opera, adding a fun element to the experience.

For a classic tea experience, Guanyin Pavilion Tea House, one of the oldest in the city, offers a tranquil glimpse into a slower, more traditional Chengdu.

As the sun sets, take a stroll along the Jin River to see the Anshun Bridge come to life with a stunning blend of historic architecture and city lights. The bridge offers picturesque views, and the surrounding teahouses and restaurants offer the perfect opportunity to grab dinner before ending your night in Chengdu.
