Jinli sits attached to the Wuhou Shrine (combo entry) and presents itself as a 350m Ming/Qing-style commercial street, though the buildings are 2004 reconstructions. The reason to come is the street food: dan dan noodles (担担面), three cannon snacks (三大炮), sweet glutinous rice cakes, San Da Pao mochi being whacked into the dipping bowl with three loud thumps. Evening is when the red lanterns light up and the photogenic walk shines — go after 6 PM. The shops sell tourist trinkets but the snack stalls are legitimately good. Free entry. Combine with Wuhou Shrine immediately next door (entrance literally connects). Allow 90 min for food crawl + photo walk.

Touristy but the snack stalls are legit. Three Cannon Snack performance + dan dan noodles + sweet glutinous rice. Free entry, evening lanterns are gorgeous.

锦里晚上7点后灯笼亮起最美。三大炮、龙抄手、夫妻肺片都齐全。出口直通武侯祠。

Reconstructed but well done. Combine with Wuhou Shrine. After 6 PM the red lanterns light up — Instagram heaven.

Best 90 min food crawl in Chengdu — every Sichuan snack you've heard of, lined up on one street.
