Old households and old teahouse in the old streets

The teahouses are scattered in these two streets, whether decorated or simple ones. Qinghe Teahouse located in the No.4 of Zhaixiangzi Street is one of the simple ones. According to its owner, an aged man, he has run this teahouse for nearly ten years. Most of its guests are of his age. They come here not only for drinking tea but also for playing cards or chess, talking what they concern. The price of tea here is not expensive. Jasmine tea is 2 Yuan/cup and local Zhuyeqing is 5Yuan/cup. Baqi Teahouse next to the Dragon Town Backpacsker Hostel always attract some foreigners because of its Chinese style so its menu is translated into English for their convenience. Here is also a gathering place of celebrities from the local painting and calligraphy circles. They would like to discuss their creation thoughts while drinking tea.

The old teahouse and the various households are the important part of the old streets, making more and more photographers, painters and travelers linger on and become a signboard to represent Chengdu's leisure style.
