Chengdu Nightlife

Chengdu offers a variety of ways to pass the evening, famous for its thick characteristic of leisure and enjoyment. From traditional teahouses, theatres to modern pubs and clubs, Chengdu people know how to enjoy their colorful nightlife. As we known, Jinli Street reflects the diversity and beauty of Sichuan folk customs and culture. Numerous teahouses, guesthouses, bars, pubs and outlets selling tasty local delicates and crafts make this attractive street a popular tourist destination. Jinli Street’s true beauty appears at dusk. The setting sun melts slowly onto the roofs of the houses and the red lanterns burn dreamily.

Sichuan Opera is a favorite for foreign and Chinese tourists alike, known for its humor and dynamism. Retaining the Sichuan dialect, the role of Chou (Clown) covers a comparatively large part of the performance; Sichuan opera often presents a charming witty atmosphere. Its varied performances, such as Bianlian (Changing faces), Gundeng (Rolling lamps) and Tuhuo (Spitting fire) are very popular; Bianlian (Changing faces) is famous even overseas for its mysterious techniques.

As the saying goes, Tea Houses of Sichuan rank first in the world, while those of Chengdu rank first in Sichuan. Tea Houses play an important role in the lives of Chengdu natives. They are places for relaxation and social activities and even more local life.
