Jinli Street

Located in the old city of Chengdu, Jinli Ancient Street is an area which features old style hotels and stores. Though most of the buildings are actually new (and yes, that is a Starbucks).

 

We ventured to this street not for the architecture but rather to see if Jinli lived up to its other nickname, Snack Street.

We sampled our way through the street, tasting noodles, dumplings, and finished off our meal with walnut cakes. While not as impressive as the street food we sampled previously in Xi'An, Jinli Ancient Street is not a bad place to grab food while traveling through Chengdu.
