The mountains and rivers can’t bear too much sorrow, and time can’t withstand too long a wait
Hello, Chengdu！
Poplar Tree Street
A quaint alley brushed by an artistic breeze, boasting countless beautiful sights
The modernity and vibrancy of Chengdu are no different from Beijing’s. This time, after searching for artistic Chengdu across various platforms, I found three streets clustered together—Poplar Tree Street, Kui Xing Lou Street, and Xiao Tong Lane, all just a stone’s throw from Kuanzhai Alley
I originally thought there was only one target restaurant, but unexpectedly, the street was bustling with people and filled with beautiful sights.
Slow Life Creative Kitchen
The destination for dinner was this Slow Life Creative Kitchen. Like other eateries here, it’s located on the ground floor of a residential building. What sets it apart is that the storefront is surrounded by flowers and plants, with large magenta bougainvillea cascading from above.Price per person: 76 yuan
Address: No. 20-5, Poplar Tree Street, Qingyang District, Chengdu
The menu’s kraft paper already shows signs of wear, with casual food illustrations and beautifully handwritten words, setting it apart from the rigid and formal menus found in typical restaurants. That font is the calligraphy I’ve always dreamed of mastering, yet my own handwriting remains messy, like spider crawls, unable to stay in line.
Kui Xing Street Building
Beautiful and delicious industrial style
The shining stars of Kui Xing Lou Street
A small section of Kui Xing Lou Street stretches from west to east, dotted with fresh and warm little shops. Among them is a social university building constructed in the 1980s—a German-style old structure that now houses the “Mingtang Creative Work Zone,” known as a “gathering place for creatives.” It’s home to over 30 cultural and creative teams spanning photography, music, carpentry workshops, design, cafés, and wine shops.
Local handmade crafts
Beautiful accommodation
The home of childhood dreamsI particularly love lofts. Seeing multi-level homes and attics in foreign movies makes climbing stairs inside the house so much fun. I also wanted to block the door between the living room and bedroom with a wardrobe, making it look like a regular closet but actually hiding another space you can crawl into—like a secret room in a martial arts novel, or like Narnia...
After searching on multiple apps and websites, I finally chose this beautiful art loft on Ant Short Rent. It’s close to Chunxi Road, with lots of little restaurants and supermarkets downstairs, and even better—it’s not far from U37 Creative Warehouse.The local fruits in Chengdu are super sweet, and the noodles downstairs have that authentic Chengdu flavor...
