About this place

A crumbling hillside residential neighborhood saved from demolition when the owner of the adjacent 66号 jianghu restaurant — who grew up here — hired a Sichuan Fine Arts Institute team to paint every wall in saturated color. Not a government project, not a tourist scheme.

Drifter says

"The backstory makes this place. Take Metro Line 1 to Yanggongqiao Station, Exit 1B. Free to enter, maintained daily. Walk the alleys first, then eat at the 66号 jianghu restaurant next door — that's the intended sequence."
