Summer Journey to Rong City | Elegance of Shu Style

The Shu style has flowed through the ages, and its elegance has been passed down for centuries. Located at the entrance of the Sichuan Chengdu Cultural Park on Qintai Road No. 132, the Elegance of Shu Style is currently the only classical Liyuan (traditional Chinese opera garden) in Sichuan with a history of a hundred years. It is situated on the ancient path of Qintai, adjacent to the famous Qingyang view, and echoes from afar with Du Fu Thatched Cottage and Wuhou Shrine. The architecture of the Elegance of Shu Style is simple and embodies the robust and leisurely spirit of ancient Western Shu, as well as the relaxed aura of modern times. For a long time, it has been a gathering place for famous Sichuan opera actors and a folk Liyuan with profound origins. Based in the Land of Abundance and facing both domestic and international audiences, it fully showcases the authentic folk arts and classic operas of Western Shu. It is a large multifunctional Liyuan resort in Sichuan that integrates Chinese traditional art performances, folk specialty stunts, and opera and drama supplies. The gongs, drums, qin, and flutes of the Elegance of Shu Style reveal their charm without a single word. With blowing, plucking, playing, and singing, the essence of the tunes comes together in an instant. The roles of Sheng (male lead), Dan (female lead), Jing (painted face), Mo (secondary male role), and Chou (clown) all take the stage. Kunqu opera, Gaoqiang opera, Huqin, stringed instruments, and plays come one after another. Here, you can find authentic Sichuan opera stunts—face-changing, fire-spitting, costume-changing shows, as well as rolling lamps and shadow plays renowned throughout the prosperous Chinese era. There are also rod puppetry crafts that are nothing short of miraculous, with exquisite skills. The Elegance of Shu Style is a place that carries the profound historical and cultural heritage of Sichuan. Stepping into this ancient theater is like being in a flowing historical scroll of Bashu. Here lies the palace of Sichuan opera art, the treasure of Sichuan culture.
