Jinli Street, Chengdu, China

Jinli Street is an ornate tourist street restored in 2004. The street is made up of ornate historical buildings and sells local snacks and souvenirs. In the Qin Dynasty (221-206 BC), Jinli Street was famous for it’s baldachin cloth, which is an ornate red and flowery cloth. During the Shu Dynasty it was known as the First Street of the Shu Kingdom because it was one of the busiest commercial streets of the time.
