A piece of western Sichuan residential area hidden in the urban area of Chengdu is full of Chengdu memories. With green tiles and grey bricks, and old stone slabs on the street, walking into the cultural experience block of Dongmen Market in Chengdu, the taste of old Chengdu is overwhelming.

"Dongmen Market" reproduces the living scenes of old Chengdu in Mr. Li Jieren's works, and the architectural style in the block has a strong atmosphere of old Chengdu market. Grey tiles and blue bricks, with streets and alleys, this place is adjacent to Li Jieren's former residence "Lingke" and Jieren Park, gathering Sichuan cuisine, market markets, traditional leisure old tea houses, as well as folk art performances and intangible cultural heritage experiences. A characteristic block that integrates folk customs, historical culture, intangible cultural heritage, and daily life. Dongmen Market is not only a leisure area, but also full of human touch and historical sense.

After experiencing a series of intangible cultural heritage performances and other activities, Zigo Pavel, a doctor from the Slovak team, said, "Chinese culture has been passed on for thousands of years, which is very powerful!" During the visit, he took a group photo with the Italian swimmer LAQUINTANA Sonia excitedly, hoping to preserve this beautiful moment. "We come from Europe, and today's experience was very interesting for us," said ZIGO Pavel. "The atmosphere in Chengdu is very good, and the people are also very nice."
