Xiaotong Lane

Xiaotong alley is one of the many "slow life" alleys in Chengdu. They are the silhouette of Chengdu's leisurely and gentle temperament. These quiet alleys in the hinterland of the city can temporarily shield you from the noise and make you stop for a moment at an appropriate time. Before the founding of the people's Republic of China, this street was so quiet that there were no shops. In the red revolutionary years, xiaotongxiang became the home of revolutionary workers, and the factory for producing thermos bottles in Chengdu was built here in the 1970s. Who would have thought that this old factory, which was abandoned more than 20 years ago, has become the leader of xiaotongxiang. In 2006, the backpacker inn "No. 4 factory" appeared here with a brand new look, becoming a synonym for avant-garde culture and artists' life.

Xiaotong Lane

Xiaotong lane is one of the many "slow life" alleys in Chengdu. Gray old buildings constitute the main background of the street. They are the silhouette of Chengdu's leisurely and gentle temperament.

brief introduction

These quiet alleys in the hinterland of the city can temporarily shield you from the noise and make you stop for a moment at an appropriate time. Some media once used the term "original ecology" to describe xiaotongxiang, because it is close to nature and soul, and it is an indifferent corner in a prosperous city. "

. However, if you look carefully, you will find that on the first floor of the street, the characteristic cafes and water bars with full amorous feelings, just like flowers, are blooming enchanting among the grocery stores and hardware shops, and are becoming more and more prosperous.

Because of these individual shops, Xiaotong lane, which is less than 200 meters long, although hidden behind the prosperity of Kuan lane, has gradually become a favorite place for young people to gather. They burn incense, drink tea, talk about life, or do nothing but sit in a daze under an old tree. The charm of slow life is fully displayed here.

Why is an ordinary alley favored by young people. A popular saying is that before the transformation, Kuanzhai alley and Zhiji stone street were actually the leisure places of Chengdu's literary and artistic tone. When Kuanzhai Lane turns gorgeous and takes more and more high-end routes, young people have to expand, and the relatively quiet Xiaotong lane, which is not far from Kuanzhai lane, has gradually become their target.

history

Before 2008, Xiaotong lane was only half an alley. Later, after sewage treatment in Chengdu, it was connected with Zhezi street. At that time, it was relatively quiet. It was an ordinary alley.

In the history of xiaotongxiang, there happened to be a famous literary youth in modern Chinese history. Yuan Tingdong, an expert in Bashu culture, once wrote a special book about the history of streets and alleys in Chengdu. He said that Zeng Xiaogu, one of the founders of early Chinese drama, who wrote the first script in the history of Chinese drama with Li Shutong, once lived in xiaotongxiang. While studying in Japan with Li Shutong, they often acted together. After returning to Sichuan, Li Shutong wrote letters to Zeng Xiaogu many times.

Before the founding of the people's Republic of China, it was a quiet street with no shops at all. In the red revolutionary years, xiaotongxiang became the home of revolutionary workers, and the factory of thermos bottle in Chengdu was built here in the 1970s. Who would have thought that this old factory, which was abandoned more than 20 years ago, has become the leader of xiaotongxiang. In 2006, the backpacker inn "No. 4 factory" appeared here with a brand new look, becoming a synonym for avant-garde culture and artists' life.
