The underside of Chengdu life π₯’
Some dinners are a bowl of pea noodles from the food street downstairs. Some mornings are fruit and bread from the supermarket in B1. The bakery still smells like butter at 6pm.
No reservations, no taxis β just walk down and eat. This is what daily life actually looks like in my building, and I wouldn't trade it.
If you're curious what a real (not tourist) neighborhood feels like, this is it.
