Local Tea House
Chengdu's teahouses are the soul of the city's slow-paced life, dotted everywhere on streets and lanes. There are both time-honored teahouses with an antique charm and stylish, fresh new-style tea rooms. Old teahouses are mostly hidden in alleyways, furnished with bamboo chairs and wooden tables paired with gaiwan tea sets. Waiters shuttle around carrying long-spouted copper kettles, and the shouts of "refilling tea" blend with the chatters of tea drinkers and the clatter of mahjong to form a unique urban melody. Order a bowl of gaiwan tea—jasmine tea and Bitan Piaoxue (a famous Sichuan scented tea) are classic choices. Take a sip of the fragrant and sweet tea, paired with melon seeds, peanuts or Sichuan snacks, and you can leisurely spend half a day. New-style teahouses integrate minimalist designs, offering coffee and desserts, making them popular spots for young people to socialize and gather, while still retaining the traditional charm of making and tasting tea. Whether old or new, teahouses are the core places for Chengdu locals to socialize, relax and feel the hustle and bustle of daily life, and are also must-visit destinations for foreign tourists to experience local life.
