  • In this video, our local Chengdu friend, Troy takes us to an incredible tea house which is over 100-years-old. We were lucky enough to speak to the owner about the history and culture of the teahouse.
    Troy runs an Instagram account all about Chengdu so if you are heading there then make sure to check it out! / chengdumemo

    I like that. Really I like things of the old. I miss a lot of the old tea shops and old nostalgic vibes you don't get at all from the modern coffee shops.

      Totally agree and I think Chengdu has some really beautiful ones.

    Ah, it’s Guanyin temple teahouse in Pengzhen, I haven’t been there even I am a Chengdu local. Not just this teahouse, a lot places like schools and hospitals in Sichuan and Chongqing used to be temples, it’s amazing sometimes you could feel the traces of history from these places.

    • @Nicofilms
      @Nicofilms  Před 11 měsíci +1

      Amazing thanks for the tip I will check them out. I would definitely recommend Autumn or Spring in China. Try to avoid Summer as it gets super hot and Winter can be really cold depending on where you go. But Spring and Autumn are perfect but try to avoid the national holidays as they can be a bit busy! @@sabrinastraveladventures4263
