Jin Li Ancient Street - Food, Shopping, and Fun | This is Chengdu, China
When we arrived at the gate of Jin Li Pedestrian Street, we were scared. It was packed with people. We made the mistake of going during the Chinese holiday, Mid-Autumn Festival. Luckily, we didn't chicken out. The street is made-up to look like an ancient Chengdu commercial street, which is exactly what it was 1800 years ago. We checked out the many souvenirs (lots of Panda stuff!), browsed the amazing food, and soaked in all the incredible sights. There's a ton to see on Jin Li Street. Make sure to bring your camera and an appetite.
