People's Park

Great natural park in the middle of the city. Its fun to visit in the evening and see people going through data of other kids to get their kids married. Park is filled with street food and street market on one side, tea house on the other where people are playing cards, ganes or just enjoying the lake view with their tea.

Great place to hang out and relax during the weekend or weekday, whenever you have free time. There is a lot going on, when I went they had a chrysanthemum festival/competition. Theres plenty of stalls for quick snacks, and many tea houses for afternoon tea. Highly recommend coming here to relax, go have a tea and sunflower seeds at a teahouse and enjoy a face changing show, it embodies the relaxed Chengdu lifestyle.

This is a refreshing urban green space and a key hub for local social life. The park features peaceful Chinese-style pavilion, a large sparkling pond, gentle hills, colorful gardens, and sculptures. The Local Scene: Locals gather here daily to socialize and relax, enjoying tea, or even participating in group exercises, including line dancing and choreographed performances, contributing to the park's lively, bustling atmosphere. Major Highlight: Heming Teahouse The Heming Teahouse is essential for experiencing local, slow-paced tea culture. For an extra cost, visitors can watch the tea-pouring shows, where tea masters skillfully pour tea using long-spouted teapots from impressive angles. It's an one of its kind cultural demonstration. Spoiler alert: Hidden Gem: The Chengdu No.1 Air-Raid Shelter This is a hidden gem that often overlooked by most. This historical war museum originally built for civil defense, the shelter maintains a consistent 25°C year-round, making it a quiet and cool place to learn about wartime history. Accessibility: The park is easily accessible via People's Park Station on Line 2. Turn RIGHT at Exit B; the North Entrance is just a short walk away.

Get away from the hustle bustle of the city scape here. You will see how the folks here doing morning exercises, having tea while enjoying the surroundings. Beautiful place to be. There's also a matchmaking corner.

Beautiful and living parc, you can see dances, playing people or just some parents looking after someone for their child, by marital ads. I'd recommend to test a tea house there, we were quite lucky to see different dancers in a show.

We spent 10 days in Chengdu as part of a international delegation showcasing basketry at the Intangible Cultural Heritage Festival. As such we had not much time to explore the city at all but on our last morning, before our transfers back to the airport we wanted to go out and spend some time in a "green" area. The Peoples park looked interesting and close to a subway station so we choose this one. It was a very hot day and as soon as we entered one of the lovely paved walkways the temperature dropped a few degrees. As "western" people we loved the way the whole park is centered around the big lake but also offers shaded bamboo groves, and even a wonderful Bonsai Garden. There were plenty of stalls to buy a refreshment and even tea gardens. There is also a kind of "marriage" grove were people can pin their classified ads on fences with their details and hope for love. Rather fascinating. We spent about 2 hours there and loved every minute.

Visiting this place helped me change my views on China! This place was awesome, such a great area to meet with friends, hang out by yourself, enjoy some tea, get your ears cleaned! The "Marriage market" was interesting, my tour guide translated some of the postings to us. The park is massive and has lots of different areas to check out, there was dancing going on, and market stalls. Definitely check this place out!

A huge, clean, and safe park that has lovely flower beds, monuments, teashops, souvenir stalls, etc. There's a section for Singles who are looking for potential spouses, a kind of Tinder on paper. The pink papers are females looking for suitable males whereas the blue papers are males looking for females. All in Chinese of course but a google translation can be quite amusing.
