[2025 Chengdu Attraction] Travel Guide for Xiangnanli (Updated Jul)

Located near the South Gate! This is a long-established hotpot restaurant with amazing vibes!! Previously called Jingyi, now renamed Jinyi, which better represents "Chengdu"! Rumor has it that this place is backed by a Michelin-starred team, ensuring top-notch quality, service, and atmosphere—perfect for both business banquets and friend gatherings! Recently, we celebrated a friend's birthday here with a custom birthday setup... It felt like being in a sea of hydrangeas, and we took a ton of photos—like a hundred! The hotpot is delicious too! The newly launched passionfruit sour-spicy broth is so unique... tangy and spicy, super appetizing! Must-order dish: the dragon-spotted grouper platter—the fish is incredibly tender, just a quick dip in the broth, and it's ready to eat. So flavorful even without any dipping sauce! 🆙 Jinyi Hotpot

The moment you push open the wooden door, you're amazed! The air is filled with the aroma of grilled food—isn't this exactly the kind of izakaya you'd see in Japanese dramas?! The bar counter is entirely natural wood-colored, and the sizzle of oil as the chef grills yakitori right in front of you fills the space with an irresistible energy🔥 The most incredible part is the tatami private rooms—close the sliding door, and it instantly becomes quiet. The warm lighting gently highlights the wood grain, making even clinking glasses with friends feel like it might disturb the serene atmosphere. ✔️ Butter-grilled giant scallop—the scallop is bigger than your palm! The rich butter aroma wraps around the tender meat, and with one bite, it bursts with juices. A hint of lemon zest adds just the right touch of acidity to cut through the richness. ✔️ Chicken liver mousse is the hidden star! Silky smooth texture that elevates the experience to a whole new level of sophistication. ✔️ Umeshu highball—the sweet-sour plum flavor mixed with the crispness of whiskey, garnished with a lemon slice on the rim. One sip, and you'll want to sway your glass and hum a tune. We stayed until 2 a.m., reluctant to leave. The owner even bid us farewell in Japanese with "Please come again," making it feel like we'd just stepped out of a cozy Kyoto alleyway after a night of drinks. 🍢 (Note: Remember to book in advance—the private rooms are in high demand!)

A must-try king salmon 🍣 if you have some extra cash At a king salmon specialty shop in Xiangnanli, packed during meal times From entry to checkout, my mouth never stopped!! Salmon roe can even be refilled 🆓 Under 200 per person, great value for money～

🍵 The combination of classic and modern, as soon as you enter, you are amazed by the atmosphere here! 🍵 As a representative of Chinese red tea, Zhengshantang's tea is naturally unbeatable. The tea is golden and translucent, the entrance is sweet and mellow, and the aftertaste is long. Every bite can feel the spring atmosphere of Wuyi Mountain, as if you are in a tea garden
