The alley was known as Xingren Hutong in the Qing Dynasty and renamed Wide Alley later. The alley has the greatest number of most complete ancient architectures in the entire block. Most of the more than 20 characteristic compounds have maintained the facades from the old times that bring out a nostalgic touch, making the place the most popular in the block. The alley presents a more reminiscent pattern compared to the other two alleys in appearance, and has captured the leisurely life prototypes of Chengdu. Here, you may savor the Gaiwan tea and enjoy the genuine Sichuan cuisine for a taste of the older Chengdu sensations.
