Chengdu Walking Tour: Wenshu Monastery, Tianfu Street, IFS, Taikoo Li & Jinli Old Street at Night

I begin the day exploring the peaceful courtyards and fragrant incense gardens of Wenshu Monastery. From there, I make my way to the civic heart of the city, Tianfu Square, walking across the massive public plaza to see the towering, iconic white statue of Chairman Mao Zedong standing in front of the Sichuan Science and Technology Museum. Next, I wander into the nearby halal food streets around the historic Huangcheng Mosque area to check out the local halal eateries and street snacks. The walk continues into Chengdu's ultra-modern center at IFS, where I catch the famous giant panda sculpture climbing over the rooftop, followed by a stroll through the peaceful grounds of the adjacent Daci Temple and the open-air lanes of Taikoo Li. Finally, I wrap up the day as night falls at Jinli Ancient Street, wandering beneath hundreds of glowing red lanterns and soaking in the lively evening atmosphere.
