Show all photos
3 hours (approximately)
Offered in: English

This corner of Chengdu was known by many names: Shaocheng (少城), Luocheng（罗城）, Mancheng(满城)—each name a chapter in its 2200-year saga. Once a walled world, sealed off for Manchu communities alone, this enclave wasn’t just bricks and boundaries; it was a living, breathing slice of Qing-dynasty life, tucked into the heart of Sichuan.

Why here? What did daily life feel like for the bannermen and their families who called it home—sipping tea in hutongs, training in courtyards, or weaving local flavors into their northern traditions? And what makes its echoes still pulse today, drawing visitors to wander where history lingers in every alley?

We’ll peel back the layers: grand tales of empire and segregation, paired with small, vivid moments. By the end, you won’t just see Mancheng—you’ll live a day in its shoes, where past and present dance in the shadows of its walls. Let’s step in.
