By Sorry, I love traveling |

😆People's Park is so fun, it is simply the epitome of Chengdu's slow pace! The park is free, and many Chengdu locals can spend a whole day here: drinking tea, chatting, cleaning ears, playing badminton, square dancing...

🚶‍♂️There are a lot of things to visit and play in it: the Xinhai Autumn Road Protection Monument, the Memorial Square, the Orchid Garden, the Bonsai Garden, the Shaocheng Garden, the Chrysanthemum Garden... Chengdu is really a city with a strong sense of history. You will never get tired of it no matter how much you play!

⭐️It is recommended not to come too late. Many places to visit will be closed around 5pm or 5:30pm. If you want to have an in-depth tour, it is recommended to set aside an afternoon.

🌿People's Park is not large in area, but the vegetation is extremely lush. The round arch of the orchid garden is just right with the lush orchid plants next to the square pavilion.

🎋The park is really old, with bamboo forests beside the mottled walls, gray walls and red pillars in the style of the Republic of China, and vines intertwined harmoniously, giving off a heavy sense of age.

📷Any corner in the park seems to be a good place to take portraits. If I had enough time, I would probably spend a whole morning here.

🌿In Chengdu, the park is the best place to show the leisurely and slow life of Chengdu people. Speaking of parks, the most representative one is People's Park.

🌿This is a street park where Chengdu people love to go for a leisurely tea drink. It is a comprehensive garden that integrates cultural relics with leisure and entertainment.

🌿The park is composed of natural landscapes such as Jinshui Creek and Bonsai Garden. The various vegetation planted along the coast complement the stream.

🐟Goldfish Island and Yongju Tea House are integrated to create a cultural venue for fish viewing and tea tasting. Currently, there are more than ten kinds of precious goldfish on the island.

🌱The most famous teahouse in the park is Heming Teahouse. Its style has not changed in the past 100 years. The standard equipment is bamboo chairs, low tables, and tea bowls. The best tea is "fragrant tea". In addition to drinking a cup of tea, you can also watch the tea-making performance; or find a recliner to sleep, call an ear-cleaning master to clean your ears; play a few rounds of mahjong or cards... This is the real meaning of stealing half a day of leisure; right,

🌼Just in time for the chrysanthemum exhibition. There are said to be thousands of varieties of chrysanthemums, with rich colors, and even colorful chrysanthemums, which add a bright makeup to autumn and winter.

🌿In People's Park, you will unconsciously feel the "slowness" of Chengdu. Groups of people walk carelessly under the golden ginkgo trees; people sit on the benches in the park, chatting casually;,

🌿Walk slowly, even without saying a word, watching the fish swimming in the pond, watching the golden color on the trees, watching the chrysanthemums on the ground. Sometimes, stop, slow down, think, and appreciate the beauty of life, in order to walk further and better.

🚶‍♂️Many foreigners like to go here to experience Chengdu culture, so I also went to find out out of curiosity.

See what Chengdu people do on weekends.

😄When you come out of the People's Park subway station and look up, you will see the towering memorial to the victims of the Xinhai Autumn Road Protection Movement in the park. This is a place with a story.

😄 Not far ahead, I passed a pavilion. Inside the pavilion was a stone tablet with three characters of Jinshuixi engraved in cursive script on the front and Jinshuixi Ji on the back. It turned out that the river next to it was the Jinshuixi River, the moat of Chengdu in the past. I felt that I had come to the right place.

🎤Not far from the entrance, you can see a group of old people singing red songs. The old man in red at the head is in high spirits, directing his movements vigorously and passionately. But not far from them, there are people who are unmoved, leisurely and dazed by themselves, occasionally taking a puff of the cigarette in their hand, and then slowly smelling the smoke. On the other side, there is a group of people practicing Tai Chi.

🍵If there is anything that is standard for Chengdu people, besides hot pot and mahjong, it is drinking tea. A friend recommended that we take a good rest in the teahouse in People's Park, drink a cup of tea in a gaiwan, and watch the people around us.

A bowl of tea, alone or with friends, chatting about the world and life. This scene seems familiar, and is similar to the teahouses in Guangdong.

🍵We found a corner seat, ordered a cup of tea each, plus a bag of peanuts and melon seeds, and the leisure tea time began. The waiter gave us two basins, and the old Chengdu people told us that one was for snacks and the other was for garbage such as peanut shells. There was a kettle for each table, and after drinking the tea in the cup, you can add water to make it again. This is a little different from the Gongfu tea we drink in the southeast coast, with fewer details, but this kind of self-drinking is more comfortable, and I like it very much.

💆‍♀️Ear cleaning is a unique service in Chengdu teahouses, which brings comfort to the extreme. The folk craftsmen who do back massage and ear cleaning in the teahouse carry a small box on their shoulders, which contains their tools and utensils. Usually such masters do ear cleaning and back massage at the same time, but of course they can also do it separately. The ear cleaning process feels very light, and the ear cleaning master is very careful. It was originally a very nervous thing, but I didn't expect that the customer would snore while the ear cleaning was going on.

💁‍♀️If you want to see how the old Chengdu people live, you can visit People's Park. It is said that the square dance here is the most authoritative in Chengdu, and the aunties from other parks will come here to observe and learn. I went there at the wrong time and didn't see it. It must be a unique flower in Chengdu.

🚶Every weekend, going to People's Park for a walk, drinking tea, walking the kids, and feeding koi seems to be the right way to spend the weekend in Chengdu

🐟As for the koi in the People's Park Koi Pond, it seems that there is no biggest one, only bigger ones. It is difficult to compare which one is taller. Their bodies are generally 3 or 4 times larger than ordinary koi. Despite this, these koi have no intention of "losing weight". Once someone feeds them by the pond, they will drag their "heavy" bodies and swim to the edge of the pond to continue eating.

🌊Because they are too fat, when the koi gather together to fight for food, "traffic accidents" often occur, splashing water.

💏There is a very special and wonderful place in People's Park, that is the blind date corner next to the Road Protection Movement Square. The blind date corner of Chengdu People's Park emerged in 2005. Now it has become a very lively corner of People's Park. Some A4 papers with personal information are lying on the ground, some are placed in paper bags, and some are hung on umbrellas, waiting for people to examine them. Most of them are born in the 70s and 80s, and there are also young people born in the 90s. However, most of the people who come to the blind date corner are their parents, who use these A4 papers to help their children find happiness in this life.

But can this method really lead to finding the person you want to spend your life with?

🍵In the morning, I came to the Heming Tea House in People's Park and drank tea with the local grandpas and grandmas. The tea house is very simple, with bamboo chairs, wooden tables, and enamel bowls for melon seeds...

🌲Birds chirped from time to time in the woods, and a ray of sunlight shone through the gaps in the leaves, hitting the wisp of white smoke from the hot tea... It felt like time had slowed down. If time wasn't urgent, I really wanted to sit here for a while longer.

✨ (We ordered a cup of Tieguanyin and a cup of Biluochun. After eating spicy food for a few days, my stomach felt a little uncomfortable. After drinking the tea, I felt much more refreshed.)

🎨An old man and an old woman were painting seriously. No matter how crowded the park was, they only had eyes for the glittering peonies in their paintings.

🥟Finally, I have to give a shoutout to Zhong Shui Jiao in People's Square. Zhong Shui Jiao tastes a bit like sweet water noodles, sweet and spicy, or you can choose not to have it spicy. I think the taste is amazing.

By Luo Xiaoyu_Raining |

💏Every city has a People's Park, and every People's Park has a blind date corner! When we passed by, we joined in the fun for a while, but we didn't dare to take pictures...

🌿People's Park still retains a traditional memory, showing the tea culture from ancient times to the present, and attracting groups of tourists. In order to have a real experience, we specially set aside half a day, sitting on a wooden bench in People's Park, crossing our legs and eating melon seeds.

🌿We arrived at the park around 11 o'clock, and the good seats in the teahouse were basically taken, but there were still many seats.

🍵The teahouse is behind the Heming sign~ There are already a lot of people. You can take a seat as long as you pay the tea fee. The waiter will give you a bottle of hot water, and then you can sit and chat slowly~ You can bring your own food, and there is also a small shop next to it where you can buy things. Except for tourists, most of them are local people in Chengdu. There are still a lot of people, so you will feel very leisurely when you arrive here. Towering trees, a cup of tea, bought melon seeds and peanuts, brought fruits and biscuits, and stole half a day of leisure...

🌿But it turns out that the four of us are all restless people. After eating melon seeds, peanuts, fruits, taking selfies, and chatting, only one hour has passed....

The first stop of the 4-day tour in Chengdu. I had not planned to come here. I planned to go to Wuhou Temple on the morning of the third day of the first lunar month. Wow, there were so many people, far beyond our imagination. We changed our minds temporarily and found a top 10 attraction in Chengdu near Wuhou Temple. I just strolled around as the beginning of this Buddhist tour. People's Park is a good place for citizens to take a walk. If you have friends from afar, you can't go there! There are photos of the Chengdu bombing and the monument to the Railway Protection Movement in the park.

By Cee Bao |

People's Park is open to the public free of charge. The famous Heming Tea House and Zhong Dumplings (Headquarters) are located here. There is also a monument to the Sichuan Army's anti-Japanese generals who died and a monument to the Xinhai Autumn Railway Protection Incident.

It seems that there is a dating corner in every people's park in every city. You might as well go and take a look at what Chengdu people's criteria for choosing a spouse are... Unfortunately, time is limited, and I didn't find it after searching around.

By Wisdom |

Although there are many tourists, it does not affect the experience of Chengdu's most urban side. The small park is so lively. It's only 3:30 in the afternoon, and various elderly clubs have already started activities. There are dancing here, singing there... There are programs everywhere. At Heming Tea House, a cup of tea in a gaiwan, watching a performance, sitting leisurely for half a day, how can it be comfortable.

By Gloria_tz |

The park is famous for its teahouses, and we were looking forward to experiencing an authentic Bashi life. We had a leisurely breakfast, but the rain was getting heavier than expected. We had no choice but to visit People's Park in the rain. Due to the heavy rain, there were few visitors in the park, and it was quiet. The famous Heming Tea House could not set up tables outdoors, and we regretfully did not see the lively scene of Chengdu citizens drinking tea and cleaning their ears. There were many lotus and koi in the park, and the scenery was pleasant. We rested in the teahouse for an hour. At about 10:30, the rain finally subsided, so we continued to visit. There are many ponds in the park. It is early summer, with lotus leaves, lotus flowers, and koi swimming around. It is really quiet and pleasant with the light rain. When passing an elegant corridor, I saw the largest koi of the day, which was really shining like a golden dragon fish.

By Want to travel around the world |

Go to People's Park, drink a cup of gaiwan tea, play a few rounds of mahjong, experience the most authentic life in old Chengdu, and pretend to be a Chengdu native!

The last taste of old Chengdu in this city, especially the Heming Teahouse in the park, where a bowl of gaiwan tea can bring back a century of history.

As a tourist, walking in the People's Park, there are three places that impressed me the most. The first is the leisurely life of Chengdu people. It happened to be Wednesday when I came here, which should be a more important day in the work week, but the park was full of Chengdu people sitting and drinking tea, speaking Sichuan dialect, and talking about where to travel with their children during the winter vacation. This attitude towards life is what the old Chengdu people should have. I really envy it.



This is not just an ordinary park, but also a symbol of the old memories of this city.

Chrysanthemums are in full bloom, and People's Park has opened a grand chrysanthemum exhibition. Everyone should go now and see many beautiful varieties.

By candy |

Whenever I go to a place, if time permits, I will choose to visit one or two local parks. When I went there, it happened to be a chrysanthemum exhibition, and many local citizens were visiting. The Heming Tea House in the park is said to have a history of 100 years and is very popular. It is a good place to experience the slow life of Chengdu people and the tea culture of old Chengdu. There is also a railway protection movement exhibition hall in the Ginkgo Pavilion in the park.

By AllenL |

The landscape avenue is very beautiful, with ancient ginkgo trees arranged neatly and the flowers and plants on both sides carefully cultivated. The beautiful scenery makes passers-by amazed.

I had heard that there was a blind date corner in People's Park, but I didn't expect to actually come across it. It was roughly located in the bushes near the Memorial Square of the Railway Protection Movement. Although it was a little hidden, the dark crowd was definitely the most recognizable feature.

The park is free from the hustle and bustle of the city, but is full of the breath of life. People can enjoy the autumn, row boats, and daydream, and it seems like a peaceful time.

By Dark Mr. Su |

Chengdu doesn't seem to have many popular attractions like other cities. People's Park is probably one of the most representative places. When I first learned about People's Park, I was a little surprised. Every city has a park, so why is People's Park in Chengdu so popular? Because here you can find the real lifestyle of Chengdu people.

Perhaps because Chengdu People's Park is becoming more and more well-known, there were already crowds of people when I arrived here on Monday morning. So if you want to enjoy the quiet moment, you still need to come earlier. People's Park is similar to local parks in many of our cities. There are guide signs at the entrance, which divide the various areas in the park in detail, and there are staff in the park to guide and divert people.

The entrance of the park was filled with colorful chrysanthemums, which made me realize that I had caught up with the chrysanthemum exhibition in People's Park. Chrysanthemum has a history of more than 3,000 years in China and ranks third among the top ten famous flowers. Although I have seen chrysanthemums in many places before, this is the first time I have seen such an enchanting chrysanthemum, which reminded me of Tao Yuanming's poem: Picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence, leisurely seeing the southern mountains.

In fact, it is easy to tell who are the locals and who are the tourists in People's Park. The locals usually sit together and chat leisurely, or draw or box. Tourists are basically taking pictures everywhere with their mobile phones, including me. Maybe the locals are used to being photographed, and in their eyes, they just enjoy what they are doing at the moment.

People's Park is a place with great sentimentality for Chengdu people, not only because the park was built a long time ago. Originally, Chengdu people could enjoy the rare tranquility in the city here, but now more and more tourists visit, and there is more and more noise and bustle here. It is hoped that people can give others some quiet space while playing here.

By A Mao aunt |

Chengdu's first park is now a place for locals to relax, drink tea, chat and play mahjong. Here you can experience the happy "slow life" of Chengdu people. It's best to be like the locals, order a cup of tea, read a book, bask in the sun and be in a daze in the teahouse in the park. Sometimes there is ear cleaning in the park, you can try it, it's very comfortable. Main activities: tea tasting, playing mahjong, ear cleaning.

By Thirteen North |

If you talk about going to People's Park in Chengdu, then people will definitely think that you must be going there for tea. Because in this seemingly ordinary park, there is the most authentic slow life in Chengdu, and for the old Chengdu people, going there is only for one thing: drinking tea. As long as it is sunny or cloudy, there will always be many people drinking tea, especially on sunny days. Every time I come here, I think that Chengdu people love to drink tea, which is best reflected in People's Park. Here, I can always hear tea drinkers say on the phone, "What are you doing? I'm drinking tea in People's Park. Do you want to come over? Great, I'll wait for you, wait for you!" I feel that Chengdu's People's Park is not just a park. It maintains the feelings between Chengdu people and also precipitates the full market culture of Chengdu. The days of drinking tea here are the unique memories of several generations of Chengdu people. Here, you can walk into a tea house casually, and there will be many teas to choose from, and the prices range from 10 to 35 yuan, and you can refill for free. If you want to experience ear cleaning, you may have to queue up if there are many people. The price of ear cleaning is different, and it seems to range from 30 to 100. 30 minutes is about ten minutes, although the time is short, but the process is still very enjoyable. When you get here, the best way is to sit in a teahouse, order a cup of tea, read a book for an afternoon, pick your ears, chat with friends, and enjoy the authentic Chengdu slow life.

By Walking World |

Everything in People's Park is the life of Chengdu, very comfortable! In autumn, the tree-lined paths on both sides of Chengdu People's Park are decorated with the most beautiful clothes by the yellowing ginkgo leaves.

A large art exhibition is being held in the small square of People's Park. Various bright flowers are blooming here, and the flowers are surrounded by tourists who come to take photos.

By Aku's Travel Diary |

I have been to Chengdu many times, but this is my first time to People's Park. I was attracted by the reputation of "ear cleaning". My friend told me that if you want to live a comfortable life in Chengdu, you must experience the ear cleaning in People's Park. People's Park is a good place for Chengdu people to relax on weekends. There are many teahouses here, but these are not ordinary teahouses. In the teahouse, you can enjoy ear cleaning while drinking tea. This can be regarded as the "most Chengdu" experience. PS: Only after sitting down and ordering tea, the waiter will help you make an appointment with the ear cleaning master, which costs 30 yuan per person and takes about 10 minutes.

By Arisaema curcumae |

This is a place full of life. I have seen many friends from Chengdu having afternoon tea here before. It is really cozy. As soon as I walked in from the door, I saw a group of grandparents dancing in the square. I feel that some young people can't match their posture.

I walked in slowly and found that there were people rowing in the lake, including foreign friends. For a moment, I thought of the scenes in foreign oil paintings. The late autumn sunshine sprinkled on the water and people's bodies, reflecting the rippling waves, it really looked like a picture scroll.

People's Park is a place I like very much. It has a strong atmosphere of life. Perhaps it represents part of Chengdu's slow life.

By Cold Moon Mark |

Almost every city has its own representative park, and Chengdu is no exception. Chengdu People's Park is not only a place frequented by old Chengdu people, but almost every tourist who comes here has been here. In addition to the lush green plants in the park, drinking tea and cleaning ears have become the iconic scenes here. Invite three or five friends to come here to sit down, order a pot of tea and clean your ears, and enjoy the leisure lifestyle of the "Leisure Capital". It is definitely a best place to experience the leisure life of local people and enjoy slow time.

It is the first garden-style park in Chengdu. It is not far from Kuanzhai Alley and it doesn’t take long to walk there slowly.

I happened to encounter a chrysanthemum exhibition on the day I went there. It is said that the chrysanthemum exhibition in People's Park has a long history. There are nearly 1,000 varieties of chrysanthemums in this exhibition, and the large number attracted many tourists to come and watch.

It happened to be a weekend that day, and there were crowds of people under the gradually yellowing ginkgo trees. This used to be the favorite place for locals. Since more and more people came to Chengdu for tourism, the number of locals coming here has gradually decreased. Of course, there are also some locals who often come here and have a certain affection for this place.

People's Park was first built in 1911 and now has a history of over a hundred years. It is the first park in Chengdu and the first park in Sichuan Province. It contains the history of Chengdu and the unique life marks of Chengdu people. Going to People's Park to experience the spectacular afternoon tea is one of my wishes as an authentic outsider when I first come to Chengdu. I'll arrange it!

By Shrimp |

If you go to People's Park on a non-weekend morning, you may not see the spectacular scene of the Heming Tea House. We just saw countless bamboo tables and chairs. The park is very large and is a good place for a walk.

By Popular |

Like the People's Parks in many cities, the People's Park in Chengdu is also a comprehensive garden for citizens to relax and have fun for free. It also has many famous trees, ancient trees, rockery and bonsai. What is special is that there is a "Monument to the Martyrs of the Sichuan Railway Protection Movement in Autumn of 1911" built in the park to commemorate the martyrs who died in the Sichuan Railway Protection Movement in 1911, and a "Monument to the Sichuan Army Anti-Japanese Martyrs" built in 1944 to commemorate the more than 600,000 Sichuan Army brothers who died in the Anti-Japanese War. It is said that after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, 3 million Sichuan Army soldiers went out of Sichuan to fight against Japan. They used the worst equipment and made the most difficult and tragic sacrifices. They held up half of the anti-Japanese battlefield, fought for the dignity of the Chinese people, and fought for the blood of the Sichuan people. The great leader also commented that "the eight-year war of resistance, the Sichuan Army's contribution is indispensable!" In addition, what makes Chengdu People's Park special compared to People's Parks in other cities is that it is particularly relaxing. There is a teahouse with rattan chairs and wooden tables every few meters, which are filled with idle people drinking tea and chatting, including locals and tourists. They can sit for most of the day with a cup of tea and a pot of water, enjoying themselves.

People's Park is located on Shaocheng Road, Citang Street, Chengdu City. It is a comprehensive garden integrating cultural relics and leisure and entertainment. People's Park was originally named Shaocheng Park and was built in 1911. The origin of Shaocheng Park is directly related to the naming of the old city of Chengdu. The city of Chengdu was originally divided into Dacheng and Shaocheng.

The park is located in the center of the bustling city, with convenient transportation. You can take buses 4, 5, 13, 14, 47, 29, 53, 64, 78, 98, etc. to the main gate of the park on Ancestral Hall Street. You can also take Metro Line 2 and get off at People's Park Station.

The street park where Chengdu people love to go for a leisurely tea sip is a comprehensive garden that integrates cultural relics with leisure and entertainment.

The park is composed of natural landscapes such as the Jinshui River and the bonsai garden. The various vegetation planted along the river complement the river.

By Aimee Zhao Eryu |

The park is very large and there are so many people. There are many people sitting, resting and chatting in the corridor near the entrance.

When I walked into the park, I magically walked to the blind date corner of the park. I walked in with a learning attitude and observed for a while. I found that this was a high-end place. The information posted there showed that the conditions were really excellent.

We continued walking into the park and successfully arrived at the most famous teahouse in the park. It was a small experience for me. There was not an empty seat, every seat was full of people. Almost every table was occupied by people leisurely eating melon seeds and drinking tea. It felt so comfortable.

By Visitors |

The park is very large and contains a Railway Protection Movement Memorial Hall, which is worth a visit.

The Internet-famous scenic spot is actually just a park with a monument, trees, water, a place for drinking tea and playing mahjong, and a blind date corner.

I like Chengdu People's Park because it has Heming Tea House, one of the oldest teahouses in Chengdu. Whether it is high-ranking officials or ordinary people, they can live in harmony here. A table of mahjong and a cup of tea can be used to spend the whole afternoon. In addition, there are also old ladies performing here, singing folk songs, dancing Baba dances, and immersing themselves in their own world without paying attention to the eyes of tourists. This attitude to life is probably Chengdu~

The most enjoyable part of my trip to Chengdu was spending most of the day in People's Park.



My son and I turned into the People's Park. Normally, if you come all the way from Shandong to Chengdu, you should rush to various scenic spots, just like the other two families in my group. But Luobo and I thought of ourselves as Chengdu people and went to the free People's Park.



The most profound impression of Chengdu, besides its location in the southwest and its unique geographical features, is the tall trees and green shades all around. Residents of Shandong cities have long forgotten the scene of green fields and lush leaves shading the sun. In every city, except for the half-thick and half-thick trees in the parks, there are no old trees on the roadside. A succession of old men have taken office, shoveling and planting, and the roads are full of half-old saplings.



People in Shandong grow by watching trees grow. Trees in Chengdu grow by watching people grow.



I grew up in the countryside and I have always loved green. Chengdu has become the city that impressed me the most among all the cities I have visited.



During the day, I went to Kuanzhai Alley and took a quick look. At night, I stopped by Jinli to rest. The prosperity under the lights was just a passing cloud in the city. The real feeling of the city life is in the parks that are not visited by tourists.



Luobo and I are here, pretending to be locals of this city, cracking melon seeds and drinking tea, watching people coming and going, and listening to the rustling of leaves in the wind.



So I was thinking, can I live here in the future?

But then I started thinking, if I live here, will I have distracting thoughts again after a few years and fall in love with someone else's city again?



Forget it. Keep Chengdu in your heart, and I will come back someday.

It is suitable for people who like slow life. You can call a few friends to sit by the lake and enjoy the scenery while drinking hot tea. You can also walk and jog in the park and breathe the fresh air. When you go in, you can see an old grandfather standing in front of the pagoda and playing the flute, which is very pleasant.

There are a lot of ginkgo trees planted in the park. I believe it will be very beautiful in autumn.

The lotus in the park is another beautiful sight.

The lotus varieties in the garden are very complete

There is also a small playground in the park, where many children play.

This is also OK, this is also included in China-TravelNote, hahaha. I don't recommend coming here, it's a waste of feelings. There are many aunties and uncles in the park who are dating.

I didn't visit the park much, I mainly went to the open-air teahouse [Heming Tea House] inside!

26 for a bowl of (falling snow) and 6 yuan for a bag of melon seeds and peanuts in the nearby store. After eating and drinking, come here to rest for two hours. Experience the slow life in Tianfu [8 points recommended]!

Don't pick your ears. I heard that 30 yuan is only for 2 minutes...

My second son and I planned to walk around and experience the slow life in Chengdu. It happened to be a chrysanthemum exhibition during this period, and we were lucky to enjoy many flower pots. The elderly living in Chengdu are quite happy. Who doesn't yearn for such a safe and leisurely life?

By heartbox |

There are too many people. It's a good place for locals. Tourists should go to the wide and narrow ones. Emma, ​​they are full of people...

By Aries |

Every child who grew up in Chengdu knows People’s Park, that’s right, the park that often holds chrysanthemum exhibitions. The park has the most down-to-earth “urban life” in Chengdu and is a business card of Chengdu’s “slow life”.

Walk through the "blind date corner" that has frequently made headlines. The information on the flyers is so detailed that it is almost clearly marked with prices. Sit down on the traditional bamboo chairs under the sycamore tree, order a cup of Bitan Piaoxue, order some Zhong dumplings and Long Chaoshou, and while away the wonderful afternoon.

But these are not the theme, our purpose is to dance! The "dancing masters" who have been going viral in Chengdu recently are all here.

Behind the Xinhai Revolution Railway Protection Movement Square, in an inconspicuous corner, the dry music from the loudspeaker was accompanied by the dancers' smooth "devil's steps". The costumes in the center of the dance floor were so dazzling that it felt like we had already lost before the dance even started.

I believe every city has a People's Park, but cleaning your ears and drinking tea is not something that all People's Parks can offer.

By Panda Slow Travel |

The most unmissable thing about visiting People's Park this season is the autumn colors here. The ginkgo trees in late autumn are so beautiful. This is one of the famous autumn viewing spots in Chengdu. The golden ginkgo trees, whose leaves have not fallen yet, are really super beautiful. There are several ginkgo avenues in the park, with golden ginkgo trees on both sides. It is so beautiful and intoxicating. Walking under the trees, with leaves falling around you, this is the taste of happiness. If you come to Chengdu in late autumn, then you must not miss the autumn colors of People's Park.

I highly recommend you to spend an afternoon in People's Park. The atmosphere will make you want to stay in Chengdu. People's Park is very close to the lives of local people and the consumption is not high. There are many people in the park, men, women, young and old, and there are many snacks. I especially recommend sitting in Heming. Really, you don't want to leave the chair when you sit down. Make a pot of tea, enjoy the laziness of the whole afternoon, and forget everything in life. You will definitely love that feeling.

By Well done dear. |

The park is not big. It is a place for local elderly people to drink tea. You can go boating, but the boats are very old. There is also a small playground. The overall feeling is that you have gone back in time to the late 1990s. Personally, I think that in addition to retaining the old scene-like experience, all infrastructure and equipment need to be updated.

Passing by People's Park, I saw that it was quite lively inside. I don't know if there were more citizens or tourists.

Go to People's Park to drink tea, chat and enjoy this beautiful morning. Another very famous project in People's Park is ear cleaning, which is called "a little comfort" in the eyes of Chengdu people. Since it is a little comfort, of course you have to experience it, but the fee is not cheap. If you only clean your ears, it costs 30 yuan, and it only takes 2-3 minutes. It's a rare trip to Chengdu, and I don't know if I will have the opportunity to come again in the future. I immediately decided to be a local tyrant and do a full set of ear cleaning + ear washing + massage, 100 yuan/person. You have to say it's really good, especially the massage of the neck at the end, it's amazing.

We drank the tea and cleaned our ears, but we didn’t visit the rest of the park.

I wandered around and came to People's Park. I felt it was good and much better than those popular attractions.

People's Park was formerly called Shaocheng Park, which has some history. It not only has the charm of old Chengdu, but is also a famous dating place in Chengdu. Recently, a chrysanthemum exhibition was held at the north gate of People's Park. There were a lot of tourists and many old wizards with long guns and short guns. I didn't want to squeeze with them, so I took a few photos and then we went to Heming for tea.

By Zhao Yun |

You can go in for a stroll if you pass by, but it is not recommended to clean your ears.

By Zheng Dada Dana |

I think this is probably the old life in Chengdu, where families sit together, eat melon seeds, drink tea and chat, and there are many elderly people... It's very comfortable...

By Li travels all over the world |

People's Park, located on Shaocheng Road, Citang Street in downtown Chengdu, has beautiful scenery and convenient transportation. It is the largest park in the bustling urban area and the first open-style landscape garden historical park in Chengdu that breaks through the walls and allows greenery to return to the citizens. It is the best place for Chengdu citizens to take a leisurely walk after dinner. It has everything you need, including drinking tea, playing cards, singing, practicing Tai Chi, and watching performances.

By Backpacker's Notes |

Take Metro Line 2 and get off at People's Park Station. Exit A is closer to the West Gate, while Exit D2 is closer to the North Gate.

People's Park is a favorite place for Chengdu citizens to relax and drink tea. I went there at the end of October and happened to catch the Chrysanthemum Exhibition Festival. More than 200,000 pots of chrysanthemums of more than 1,000 varieties bloomed in the park. Everyone took a camera or mobile phone to record this beautiful moment and took a picture of the most beautiful one in their heart.

Many tourists who come to Chengdu want to experience the local customs and culture of Chengdu. So where is the best place to go? I recommend the People's Park not far from Kuanzhai Alley. In fact, almost every city in China has a People's Park, which used to be the best place for citizens to relax and have fun. But the People's Park in Chengdu is a little different. In addition to being the best place for locals to relax and have fun after dinner, it is also a beautiful 4A-level scenic spot.

Walking into the People's Park, perhaps many people will find that in addition to the square dances with singing and dancing and the old Chengdu drinking tea, the park is full of various anti-Japanese memorial buildings. Among them, the sculptures of soldiers who went to the war in the park that impressed me the most were some sculptures about soldiers who waved goodbye to their familiar hometown just to defend their hometown from invasion. The kind of impassioned masculine spirit made people clap their hands in admiration. The most worthwhile place to visit in the People's Park is the Goldfish Island between the Heming Tea House in the East District and the artificial rockery waterfall. This Goldfish Island is located in the artificial lake and is connected to the Heming Tea House by an arch bridge. There is also an old tea house called "Yongju" on the island.

It is worth mentioning that ear cleaning in People's Park is also a very comfortable thing, but the cost is really high. The cost of ear cleaning + ear washing is one hundred yuan.

By YIYI Notes |

The historic People's Park is a feature of Chengdu. Here you can find the best flavor of old Chengdu.

When you are sitting idle, let the master clean your ears to relax, and the world in your ears will become much clearer. Ear cleaning is a scene in Renming Park, and you must experience it when you go there.

By Baby |

Here you can see Chengdu people drinking gaiwan tea, picking their ears, and chatting in the park. I came early in the morning and it was a weekday, so there were not many people in the park.

By Jiawei |

The scenery of People's Park is very good. Next to it is the famous Centennial Heming. We ordered two cups of tea. It was not as delicious as we imagined, but we experienced the urban life of Chengdu people. We had our ears cleaned here. The master has been engaged in this industry for 46 years and his skills are still very good.

In the morning, I went to Kuanzhai Alley and then went to People's Park according to my boyfriend's arrangement. The two places are very close and can be reached in a short walk. I always thought that People's Park was a place for children to walk. My mother loved to take me to the park when I was a child. I didn't expect that he would sneak into the park many years later. I found that the People's Park here seemed to be a tourist attraction. There were many tourists. Similar to most people's parks, there were lawns, flowers, historical buildings, and boats in the artificial lake. These were nothing. The most distinctive thing was the teahouses located in the park. We went to the oldest Heming Teahouse to sit for a while. It was three or four o'clock in the afternoon when tourists were seated, so we could only share a table with two other tourists. However, we happened to sit by the lake, and our mood was very beautiful.

By zhm_jinan |

It is an old park in the city. In the morning, it is full of residents doing morning exercises. I really want to drink tea at the Heming Tea House inside, but unfortunately I don’t have time.

By Go far away |

People's Park is a street park where Chengdu people love to go for a leisurely tea. It is a comprehensive garden that integrates cultural relics with leisure and entertainment. It is a great choice to experience the leisurely life and slow time of Chengdu people.

The People's Park seems quiet in the early morning. From time to time, you can see old people taking a walk. The scenery here is also unique. If you come here in spring, you may be greeted by blooming flowers, the fragrance of which will fill your nose, and your heart will slowly calm down.

As time passed, more and more people came into the park. Some were dancing, some were walking, some were feeding koi, some were rowing boats. This must be what the life of a god is like.

I love the People's Park in the sunny autumn and winter.



In a trance, intentionally or unintentionally,

I always come to People's Park once every autumn.

This time I came with friends from out of town.



You said you wanted to let outsiders experience Chengdu.

I think [People’s Park] is really a must.

What is leisure, leisure, comfort and ease?

Sitting among the crowd in People's Park,

Drinking tea from a covered bowl, cracking melon seeds, cleaning ears, playing mahjong...

Don't want anything.

Watching the peaceful years,

Empty your mind, be in a daze, and enjoy the present moment!



Chengdu is such a city:

Even though the smog is covering

But as long as there is a little sunshine,

Everyone will laugh.

Come out and enjoy the merry city.



People's Park,

It is also Chengdu culture

The epitome of easy living.

The area around People's Park is quite big. I just wanted to find Heming Tea House, so I didn't go to all the places.

But you can feel the comfortable life of local people in Chengdu. Although it is a park, it has everything, including snacks, small items, teahouses, and ear cleaners.

Sit in Heming Teahouse and experience the leisurely lifestyle of the locals

By Rabbit C Flavor |

The old-fashioned flavor of Chengdu life, with open-air teahouses, covered tea bowls, and Shuerlang, the whole person is relaxed in the slow life. We also played the amusement facilities that were only available in Xuanwu Lake Park when we were young, and we were so happy that we couldn't help ourselves.

Not long after entering the People's Park, I heard the sound of music. I followed the sound and saw a large dance team. They were not very professional or uniform. Everyone formed groups randomly. There were three old sisters in a circle, and there were pairs supporting each other. There were solo dances before the dance partners came, and there were soul dancers with exaggerated dance moves. People carrying vegetables and fruits in a hurry can be seen everywhere in the park. I don't know if they are taking a shortcut after buying vegetables, or going home to cook after playing in the park. Walking along the main road of the park, waves of people's happy singing, beautiful folk songs, and traditional operas floated in. You don't need to see them, even if you just hear them, you can feel their happiness. Although it was raining, there were still persistent people who slowly tasted the tea in the cup. The rain knocked down the petals and wet the tea table. It seemed that the rhythm of the rain here was different from that of other places. The ticking sound of the rain was more leisurely.

By Choco22 |

Then I found out that people all over the country are going on blind dates, hahahaha. However, the park is really big, with mountains, water and woods. The scenery is very similar to that of Jiangnan, but the layout is more relaxed.

By Mooner |

The environment of this park is very quiet, and you can see flowers, plants, birds and animals. The scenery itself is worth appreciating. There are many elderly people playing chess and cards in the park, which is very lively. If you want to experience the most comfortable life in Chengdu, you must come in the afternoon. Drink a bowl of covered tea, listen to authentic Sichuan opera, and spend a wonderful afternoon leisurely.
