About Chengdu

关于成都

Chengdu is Sichuan’s capital and China’s first UNESCO City of Gastronomy—a city of bold flavors, giant pandas, teahouses, and a famously unhurried rhythm. Historic courtyards and lively lanes sit beside striking contemporary design, making the city feel both rooted and new.

成都是四川省会,也是中国首座联合国教科文组织“美食之都”。这里有麻辣鲜香的川菜、憨态可掬的大熊猫、遍布街巷的茶馆,以及出了名的悠闲节奏。传统院落与现代设计并肩而立,让这座城市既有底蕴,也充满新意。

About Upper House Chengdu

关于成都居舍

Upper House Chengdu is our wedding venue: a quiet urban retreat in Taikoo Li, built around a restored Qing-dynasty courtyard. Local architecture, contemporary art, bamboo gardens, and intimate gathering spaces come together as an elegant expression of old and new Chengdu.

Just outside, Taikoo Li is an open-air district of shops, restaurants, and cafés woven through traditional lanes. Next door, 1,600-year-old Daci Temple is the historic Buddhist heart of the neighborhood.

成都居舍是我们的婚礼场地:一处藏在太古里的都市静居,以修复后的清代院落为中心。川西建筑、当代艺术、竹林庭院与雅致空间在此相融,恰好呈现成都古今并存的气质。

门外的成都太古里是一座开放式街区,商店、餐厅与咖啡馆散落在传统街巷之中;毗邻的大慈寺已有1,600多年历史,是这一带的佛教文化地标。
