It serves as a memory of Chengdu’s rich past, a past that saw the rise and fall of dynasties, the birth of traditions like tea drinking, and the enduring love for spicy Sichuan cuisine. As you stroll through its preserved halls, remember, you’re walking through a tangible piece of Chengdu’s vibrant history.
