A great place to taste variety of Sichuan food and very cheap. You can also do your souvenir shopping here.

It was a Disneyland of Chengdu in a ancient style of architecture. The food here were great and a bit pricey. We enjoyed eating all kinds hot and spicy local snacks and drinks.

Not sure why Jinli Pedestrian Street and Jinli Street are separated for review because they are the same place. This is a sanitized Disney-like recreation of an 'ancient' Sichuan street. Everything we saw was overpriced. However, we did enjoy sampling several different foods from various food stalls. We opted out of Starbucks...while we were there, a young woman was playing... More

Our hotel said this was a tourist destination that everyone goes to...so we went to check it out. It provides a pleasant diarama of what a Sichuan street might have looked like, but this is so clearly Disneyfied. You take it for what it is worth --- people-watching, a glimpse of yesteryear through Disneyesque glasses, a bite to eat, trinket... More

You need to pay to enter but there are plenty of alley ways to explore and lots of local snacks to try.

If you want to buy overpriced tourist crap then all means go. If you want something to do then do it. Don't eat there. I suggest skipping it instead go to a local restaurant around Chengdu and just randomly pointing at the menu and eat whatever comes. Or bring a translator app and order some food.

Even if you don't buy anything, the sights and smells are incredible. Lots of great traditional Chinese gifts and souvenirs, too.

Starbucks within 20m of the main entrance! Still worth a visit with an old theatre stage, a snack street and numerous tacky souvenir shops. There are a handful of restarants and bars inside as well.

Not sure why Trip Advisor has this divided into two areas. Jinli ancient street and Jinli Pedestrian Street are the same place. Either way, great place to visit, lots of photo opportunities, and lots of places to eat. Very touristic, true, but a glimpse of "old China", whether real or reproduced, that no longer exists.
