Wenshu Yuan Monastery - We start our activity around 09:00AM/13:00PM, our guide will meet you at the gate of Wenshu Yuan Monastery, and take you to have a short walk in the monastery to see the different buildings in the temple, though late afternoon, the locals still do their praying in the monastery, and the monks practice their afternoon class in one of the halls. Outside the temple it is busy and noisy, once you step into the temple, the world becomes peaceful, which makes you calm.
After our short visit to the monastery, we walk out to the street, the air is full of relaxed life style ,as there are so many popular local snack restaurants, your guide will let you try 2 or 3 different snacks while walking at the street, like the locals. - Taiguli Parking Lot - Again you will take the metro to Taiguli area, the center of Chengdu.
