Yulin Road
玉林路
The neighbourhood made famous by Zhao Lei's song “Chengdu,” with small bars under parasol trees, a community market, hole-in-the-wall eateries and cafés that show Chengdu's everyday street life.
The Yulin district lies in Wuhou District and became famous through the folk song “Chengdu,” with its line “Walking to the end of Yulin Road, sitting at the doorway of a small bar.” The small bars on West Yulin Road are a landmark of Chengdu's folk music culture. The surrounding area includes Yulin Lifestyle Plaza, a community market, old-school hole-in-the-wall eateries, cafés and select boutiques. The streets are small in scale and shaded by parasol trees, making them ideal for a citywalk. Admission is free. By day, stroll through the community and markets, and at night enjoy folk music with craft beer. It is about 10 minutes by taxi from Metro Line 1 or 3, or you can walk from Wuhou Shrine.
