Getting There
In Detail
Located in Shou'an Town, Wenjiang District, Chengdu, Shou'an Weaving Art Park is one of the few cultural parks on the Chengdu Plain themed around plant weaving. Drawing on Shou'an Town's long-standing traditions of bamboo and rattan weaving, the park skillfully blends folk handicrafts with garden landscapes. Everywhere you look, you'll find pavilions, corridors, sculptures, and other art installations woven from natural materials such as bamboo, rattan, and palm – both functional and visually appealing.
The park is compact yet exquisitely laid out, shaded by trees and surrounded by streams, with distinct scenery in every season: flowers blooming in spring, lush greenery in summer, golden hues in autumn, and tranquil stillness in winter. Inside, there is a weaving exhibition hall, a handicraft experience area, and leisure tea seating. Visitors can watch artisans weaving up close or try their hand at simple weaving projects, experiencing the charm of this traditional craft.
As a national 3A-level tourist attraction, Shou'an Weaving Art Park is ideal for family trips, culture enthusiasts, and travelers looking to escape the city's hustle and bustle.
