宽窄巷子["broad-narrow lanes"] is another commercial zone featuring "tradition". Different from 文殊坊with completely 'fake' traditional old architecture, 宽窄巷子 was built on remains from old 成都residential area.[kind of like 胡同in Beijing] In recently years, real-estate developers have cleaned off most of these old places but here the small remains got renovated and, of course, gentrified.Today there are still some people living here, note: in houses. This area is no longer affordable for everyone. Different from 文殊坊，宽窄巷子has lots of western food places, Starbucks being one of them. Here Starbucks has dropped its standardized "T-shirt" but changed to its "Chengdu clothing".I found this really funny. Chinese are extremely adventurous with food. Whatever it is, wherever it comes from, as long as it tastes good, we'll give a try. Starbucks is such an exotic place~~
"布朗尼brownie?危地马拉咖啡Quatemala coffee？let's try!"
But, after all,
Here is China.
This is a tea house
This is a small resturant, older than the new commercial zone, very original.
