Half-Day Tour in Chengdu: Encounter Stunning Night Views and Spicy Delicacies

In Chengdu, when the daytime laziness fades away, the night becomes the prelude to excitement. Evening: Anshun Covered Bridge, Encounter Ancient Charm and Night Views As evening falls, head to the Anshun Covered Bridge. You can start from Lan Kwai Fong and stroll along the Jinjiang River, admiring the night scenery along the banks. Boats glide on the river, and the weeping willows on the shore sway gently in the breeze. At this moment, Chengdu exudes both historical charm and modern vitality. On the covered bridge, you can pause to take photos, capturing this breathtaking moment, or step into a teahouse nearby, order a bowl of Gaiwan tea, and slowly savor the leisurely pace of Chengdu. Night: Chengdu Twin Towers, Experience the Magic of Light and Shadow After leaving the Anshun Covered Bridge, make your way to the Chengdu Twin Towers. As a new landmark of Chengdu, the 220-meter-tall Twin Towers feature a unique design with an all-metal hollow outer net and full LOW-E insulated glass curtain walls. As night falls, the light show of the Twin Towers begins on time. The curtain walls, composed of millions of LED lights, transform into an IMAX-sized screen, displaying dazzling patterns such as the Sun Bird and pandas, creating a mesmerizing spectacle against the city's night sky. The best viewing spot is by the lake in Jiaozi Park, where you can capture the full view of the Twin Towers and their beautiful reflections on the water. Late Night: Tiexiang Temple Water Street, Seek the Elegance of Jiangnan After enjoying the Twin Towers' light show, head to Tiexiang Temple Water Street. This area is themed around "water," with the Xiaoji River flowing through it, connecting bridges and streets, and dotted with waterside pavilions and towers. When night falls and lanterns light up, the corridors and streams complement each other, creating a unique atmosphere reminiscent of a "Jiangnan water town" in Chengdu. Strolling along the water street, you'll see a perfect blend of traditional Sichuan-style architecture and modern fashion elements. Find a riverside bar, order a drink, listen to the murmuring water, and soak in the tranquility and beauty of Chengdu's night. Midnight Snack: Erliang Zigong Salt Cuisine BBQ, Ignite a Feast for Your Taste Buds After all that walking, you're bound to be hungry again. Return to the city and visit Erliang Zigong Salt Cuisine BBQ near the entrance of the Niuwangmiao subway station. This restaurant serves freshly cooked Zigong dishes upon order. The Spicy Rabbit Pot is a must-try—tender rabbit meat in a spicy broth that's utterly addictive. The Stir-Fried Crispy Double Delicacies are perfectly cooked with a satisfying crunch. Their BBQ is also exceptional, with fresh ingredients skewered by hand daily, grilled to sizzling perfection, and sprinkled with special seasonings—every bite is pure bliss. On a summer night in Chengdu, sitting outdoors with friends, enjoying delicious food and lively conversations—this is the unique charm of Chengdu's nightlife.
