HEMING TEAHOUSE

When you come to Chengdu, you must come to People's Park early in the morning to experience the morning tea culture of old Chengdu (it may be occupied by tourists). The 198 yuan set meal is very suitable for taking pictures. Choose a seat by the lake and feel the breeze. There are many kinds of snacks. You can also have your ears cleaned on the spot next to it. It's quite interesting.

Heming Teahouse is located in People's Park, Chengdu. It was built in 1923 and just celebrated its 100th birthday in March this year. The teahouse is in a prime location, right by the artificial lake in People's Park. Sitting on a small bamboo table and bamboo chair by the lake, pouring a pot of tea and putting snacks on the table, you will feel relaxed. Chatting and playing cards with a few friends is so comfortable. If you have time and are in a good mood, you can also spend 30 yuan to enjoy the special ear cleaning service. His tea is not expensive. The cheapest is 16 yuan a cup, and the most expensive is only 35 yuan a cup. You can immerse yourself in the slow life of old Chengdu by spending 20 or 30 yuan. Why not? In addition to drinking tea and picking ears, you can also taste the special snacks of old Chengdu and watch shows. It is quite playable. You will not be bored at all if you stay here for half a day. Because of its long history and great reputation, his house is also the most popular teahouse in Chengdu. If you want a good position by the lake, you still have to come early in the morning to grab a seat. If you don't find the place you like, it doesn't matter. There are also Shaochengyuan Tea House and Nongyin Tea House in the park, which can be reached in a few minutes' walk. They are also good. I wish you all a happy time in Chengdu.

Taste the Chinese teahouse culture and travel the world's century-old Heming. Heming is located in the People's Park of Chengdu. You must come here to experience the local people's lifestyle and tea culture when you come to Chengdu.

[Environment] Located by the lake of People's Park, it lives up to its reputation of Heming for a hundred years. It is crowded on weekdays. It is a little noisy during the meal, and the sound of chats is endless. I had coveted the seats by the lake for a long time before I went there. Fortunately, I sat in a viewing seat with a good view. The lake is not big, but it is enough for leisure. [Taste] Let me emphasize again that the snow in Bitan is too surprising! There is a Zhong Dumpling in Heming Tea House, which has the three major cannons that must be eaten in Chengdu. Facts have proved that the taste is really worth the name. The waiter who makes tea and the waiter who takes orders are not the same group of people. Even the tea-making girl can't find the orderer. It can be seen how fierce the competition is during lunch time and how difficult it is to eat the three major cannons. When you go to pack it yourself, be careful not to lose your seat. [Service] The venue is too big, and it is normal for the waiter to be too busy. When you call the waiter, you must order everything you want at once, otherwise you don't know when you will catch her again. The uncles who pick ears often shuttle between the tables. If you are interested, you can try it.

This archway with "Heming" written on it is the main entrance of the teahouse. It is so imposing. From the outside, this open-air teahouse looks very large. The noise inside shocked me. There are so many people in a teahouse... Next to the archway is a lakeside with pedal boats for citizens and tourists to play. There is also a large copper teapot and a tea bowl in front of the archway, which is actually a washbasin... I went in and took a look around. This teahouse is more than just big, it is simply a large area, and I can hardly see any empty seats. This is the largest teahouse in the People's Park that is relatively well preserved, and it is also one of the most "Western Sichuan" teahouses. In the past, teahouses in Chengdu were places for people to drink morning tea and exchange information. Later, there was a rule that they could not discuss state affairs. Now it is basically a leisure place for local citizens and tourists who come here to make tea, play cards, and chat. We finally found a seat, and there was nothing to do, so we ordered two cups of tea, which was quite expensive. Sichuan people drink tea in covered bowls, which is what we see in costume dramas. It is made up of tea bowls, tea lids, and tea boats. I have never drunk tea like this at home. This time, I followed the local customs and tried it. The waiter brought covered bowls of tea, tea bags, and a thermos. After trying it, I felt that the tea I drank in Sichuan was different from the tea we drank in Fujian. It was a bit bitter, but it was a bit sweet after swallowing. I sat on a bamboo chair and a low table for an afternoon, drinking covered bowls of tea with the characteristics of western Sichuan. The only tiger stove in Chengdu is preserved here. I thought it was a decoration at first, but later I saw the staff pick up the copper pot on the tiger stove to fill water. I found out after checking the information that Heming Tea House used to use a tiger stove fueled by coal. About 20 teapots could be placed on the stove. The tea waiter squatted in front of the extremely hot tiger stove every time to turn the coal. The tiger stove got its name because it looks like a tiger. It's a pity that I didn't see the old master's skills of kneading tea leaves, frying tea, and mixing tea with a long pot. There is also a special ear cleaning here, which is a folk craft. The ear cleaning master simply wears a lamp on his head to avoid the trouble of taking it on and off. He holds various ear cleaning tools such as screwdrivers, goose feather brushes, soft silk, etc. in his hands, and asks one by one, "Do you want to clean your ears?" If you respond to him, he will give you a price list for you to choose. I forgot the price, anyway, I saw hundreds of... Although the customers who had their ears cleaned seemed to enjoy it, I saw that their tools were not disinfected or something. After one customer cleaned, they went on to the next one. This makes it difficult for people like me with mysophobia to accept it. I saw an old couple sitting quietly in the corner reading books and newspapers. They were so fascinated that it seemed as if the world had nothing to do with them. Having the same interests has become a common joy in life. It's great to be able to grow old together.

Right in the People's Park, you can feel the first choice of the old Chengdu people. Come here on a leisurely afternoon to drink a bowl of tea with a bag of tea, a teacup, a thermos, and a comfortable heart for the whole afternoon. During the tour, I did not choose the traditional Queen's afternoon tea for my afternoon tea, but chose here. There were people of all ages sitting next to me. The old people played chess and cards and chatted, and the young people drank tea and chatted. They all spoke Chengdu dialect. Such a leisurely afternoon is the standard of leisurely Chengdu. You can also clean your ears.

After several days of sunshine in Chengdu, it finally ushered in the rainy weather. A different Chengdu, a different taste I met several Chengdu friends in Chengdu only once. They took me to People's Park for tea. Heming Tea House has a history of nearly 100 years. It is a good place to escape the heat in summer. The tea house is very lively on weekends. There are chess, cards, and chats. You can also take a nap. The most eye-catching thing is ear cleaning. The professional tools in the hands of the ear cleaner are really eye-catching. The customer's face is ecstatic and comfortable. It is very enjoyable A cup of tea can make an afternoon leisurely. The comfort of Chengdu people's life can be seen.

A different kind of slow life ~ a cup of tea ~ a song ~ Old Chengdu teahouse culture Heming Teahouse is very pleasant to taste tea and clean your ears. Chengdu People's Park Heming Teahouse is a few years old. The yard is full of tea tables and chairs. Old gentlemen and ladies play cards and clean their ears; foreigners read books and doze off; we, on the other hand, drink a midday tea in a calm and peaceful manner, squinting our eyes to kill time.
