Kuanzhai Lane in Chengdu is a symbolic tourist attraction in Chengdu, which is deeply rooted in many people's hearts in Chengdu. I don't know that there is also a characteristic cultural business district similar to Kuanzhai Lane in the south of Chengdu. Although the scale is not as large as that of Kuanzhai Lane, it also reflects the leisure face of Sichuan School.

Tiexiang Temple Water Street, located in the southern suburbs of Chengdu, is named after Tiexiang Temple, a Buddhist temple. It is a tourism and leisure project built in recent years, and it is the third characteristic commercial street in Chengdu after Kuanzhai Lane and Jinli. However, it is not well-known compared with the first two, and even Chengdu locals rarely know this place.

The theme of Tiexiangsi Water Street is "Fengshui Charm of Shu, Modern Life", which has both elements of traditional Bashu culture and atmosphere of modern life. Xiaojiahe River flows through it, and the characteristic commercial buildings are built near the river, including antique buildings, street courtyards, leisure facilities such as food, coffee, bars, book bars, etc., as well as the traditional stage in old Chengdu, which is covered with cups of tea in the open air. The overall environment is comfortable and elegant.

Tiexiang Temple, which is backed by the water street, is named after the temple dedicated to siddhattha gotama made of iron. This temple has a long history and was built in the Ming Dynasty, and has been rebuilt several times since then. In the early forties, after the patriotic monk Neng Hai studied Buddhism in Tibet, he founded it as the only Nizhong Dojo among the seven Gruba King Kong Dojo in the Han area.

The original temple has been destroyed, and the current iron statue temple buildings have been rebuilt in recent years. The plaque at the entrance of the temple was inscribed by Zhao Puchu, president of the Chinese Buddhist Association. The whole temple is small in scale, and several temples are still under repair, because it is not very famous in other temples in Chengdu, so not many people know it.

When I first saw Tiexiang Temple, I felt that the buildings in the temple were very new, especially the colors of the gate and the screen wall were very bright, which was different from the simplicity of other temples. Besides, the gate was a busy road surrounded by high-rise buildings of reinforced concrete.

However, the overall environment in the temple is relatively quiet, with lush vegetation, solemn halls, tranquility and peace, and the bustling world outside is isolated by only one wall, which is really a pure land in the downtown area.

Although local people don't know much about Tiexiang Temple Water Street, it was once very popular on the Internet. It was called online celebrity Street, and it was also called "Kuanzhai Lane in the south of the city". Even because of this commercial street in online celebrity, people gradually learned about Tiexiang Temple next to it.

The comments about Tiexiang Temple on the Internet have received rave reviews, which were recommended by many netizens. However, after actually punching in, I feel that there is a big gap with what is said on the Internet.

I don't think the time to go is right. The whole water street is very deserted, with few people. It gives people the impression that the scale is relatively small, and a street can be completed in a few minutes. There are many businesses on both sides of the water street, but the environment is still quiet. However, we have to admit that Tiexiangsi Water Street is indeed a good place for the public to relax in the bustling urban area.
