The Jin Li Alley is situated right next to the Wu Hou Shrine. Funded by the Wu Hou Shrine Museum, its constructions took 3 years to complete and was opened to the public on 1 November 2004. Jin Li is a folk street exhibiting the customs and cultures of ancient Ba and Shu states, and also the ancient Shu, Han civilisations of the Three States Era (around 220AD to 265AD). See the movie "Red Cliff" by John Woo.......awesome movie!
Being the first archaistic street (or alley, in fact) to adopt the Western Sichuan architecture style, Jin Li Folk and Relaxation Street is 350m long with tea houses, inns, pubs, restaurants, opera stages, snacks, souvenirs, etc., combining the Sichuan Tea Culture, the Sichuan Cuisine Culture, the Sichuan Wine Culture, the Sichuan Embroidery Culture, the Sichuan Opera Culture, shopping and tourism as a whole.
