Jinli is adjacent to Wuhou Shrine, serving as its outer area. After a hearty meal, you can take a stroll here. In Jinli, not trying the local snacks would be the biggest regret. Some of the famous ones include buckwheat noodles, Three Cannonballs, beef crispy cakes, yellow rice wine, and sugar oil fruit. The sweet water noodles, cold noodles, and marinated dishes are all quite good. There is also a shop selling fried stinky tofu and potatoes, as well as Zhang Fei beef, a famous Sichuan snack produced in Langzhong, Sichuan. It has a black exterior that doesn't look very appealing, but the inside retains the natural color of beef. It is made with top-quality beef mixed with special spices, giving it a unique flavor.
Every year from June to August is the peak season for panda births. If you're lucky, you can see panda cubs being born in the Moon Delivery Room. Pandas wake up around 7 AM every day, and from 7 to 9 AM is when they are most active. During this time, they go outside to play and eat, making it the best time for photography. After noon, pandas become lethargic and usually go back to their villas to sleep after eating. So make sure to come early in the morning! This way, you can capture the pandas in action and avoid the peak tourist crowds.
Decades ago, this was an electronics factory. Now, it has been transformed into a cultural base on the original factory site.

Why is U37 Creative Warehouse named a warehouse? Originally, this place was the warehouse and factory of Chengdu Pharmaceutical Group. Most of the buildings here were constructed in the 1960s, 70s, and 80s, and they have very distinct characteristics of those eras. The greenery within the U37 park is as well-preserved as its rich historical heritage. With lush trees and vines covering the building exteriors, it is a tranquil place amidst the bustling city.
Wenshu Monastery has a history of over a thousand years. It is lush with vegetation, and its architectural style is primarily based on the Sichuan Plain, featuring many wooden structures. It is the foremost of the four major Zen forests along the upper and lower reaches of the Yangtze River in China. Upon entering, one naturally feels a sense of calm, and even during the hot summer, there is a slight coolness. Perhaps it is true that a calm heart brings natural coolness!
