Jinli Street is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Chengdu, and not without reason. As an ancient street that became renowned as early as the Qin and Han dynasties, Jinli Street still preserves much of its ancient charm. Today, the street is lined with shops selling everything from tea and souvenirs to traditional handicrafts and snacks. There are numerous cafes, tea houses and bars, which become even livelier at night, with hanging lanterns and live music filling the air. It is also not unusual to see traditional theater and folk arts performances taking place in the street.
