wide and narrow alleys


The Wide and Narrow Alleys, known as Kuanzhai Xiangzi, are a significant historical and cultural attraction in Chengdu, Sichuan Province, China. This area comprises three parallel ancient city alleys—Wide Alley (Kuan Xiangzi), Narrow Alley (Zhai Xiangzi), and Well Alley (Jing Xiangzi)—and is a microcosm of the city's history. Visitors can explore the Qing Dynasty architecture, enjoy local Sichuan cuisine in traditional teahouses, and experience the vibrant street life that blends the old with the new.
