Chengdu

Jinsha Ruins Site is the first important archaeological discovery in China in the 21st century, and the museum is built in theme park style especially for the protection, research and exhibition of the unearth relic discovered in the Jinsha Site. The Jinsha Site Museum is formed with some parts as following: relic museum, exhibition hall and relic protection centre, while other distraction is covered with grassland, creating a beautiful environment.

Located between the Qingyang Taoist Temple and Dufu Thatched cottage, the Sichuan Museum is an important place to collect and exhibit the culture relic of Sichuan. The Museum boasts a collection of more than 160,000 cultural relics telling the story of Sichuan, over 2,000 of which are in the first and second class. The most characteristic ones are the Bashu(old name for Sichuan area) bronze; drawings of Daqian Zhang, a famous painter; portray brick of Han dynasty; natural relic of the majority, etc., and the revolutionary heritage is also of high historical and art value.

Dufu, the greatest realistic poet of Tang Dynasty 1000 years ago, had lived 3 years in the poor cottage at west Chengdu and left most of his master pieces. Although the Dufu thatched cottage had been flow away by wind of history, we still felt his existence by his brilliant poem.

Songxianqiao antique market, located to Dufu Thatched Cottage, is made up of 2 sections: booths and shops. The booths stretch one or two hundred meters along a path on both sides, and the shops cover a vast, seemingly endless area. The goods on the booths are a mixture of different items, basically dominated by one category and complemented by many alternatives. Most of them are second hand goods, such as copper coins, old issue RMB, badges, illustrated books, old-fashioned watches and timepieces, gramophones, and even wall calendars, diplomas and marriage licenses from times gone by. On these booths, you can find copies of almost all the famous bronze and pottery cultural relics, and some small goods as well, such as bone carvings and hairpins.

The Temple of Marquis(Wuhou Temple), also named as "Temple of Zhaolie of Han", is the memorial temple built for Emperor Liu Bei of Shu Kingdom and the minister Zhuge Liang during the Three Kingdoms period. Located in the south suburb of Chengdu, the temple covers 37,000 square meters. The Three Kingdoms period is a time of division and unity, and many stories about Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang were left today. The Temple of Marquis is of high historical and cultural value for the scholars studying the Three Kingdoms culture.

The old Jinli street is actually a part of The Temple of Marquis, so the theme is also Three Kingdoms Culture, a traditional folk custom. But unlike the other one, which is mainly for commemorate, Jinli is a famous commercial street in Chengdu. The buildings being in the Qing Dynasty style, the street is rigorous orderly built.

Wangjianglou Park is a great place of interest to relax oneself. The former park consists of the towers and houses built for a great female poet called Xue Tao during Tang Dynasty, and then was set aside and given the name Wangjiang Park.

Chunxi Road is the most prosperous street in Chengdu, located in the city center. This pedestrian street is the best place in Chengdu for shopping as well as getting to understand the Chengdu culture.
