The old house is a bungalow, nameless, no sign, with an area of 200-300 square meters, facing the streets on its two sides. The front and back doors are all made of wooden boards. The main wooden hall beams hanging overhead inside the teahouse slants a bit down and the walls are discolored by damps and crumbling with age, which all tells us the old teahouse still lives in the remote history. When you enter the old teahouse, you will see the old tea tables, old bamboo chairs, old tea customers, old teapots, giving people a feeling of being in the another world. Here there is no hustle and bustle of the cities, no shadows of reckless people, but rather a simple and leisure mode of live, attracting numerous visitors each year to experience the simple and unsophisticated life style.

CHENGDU, CHINA - JULY 24, 2015 - (FILE) Photo taken on 24 July 2015 shows the Ancient Pengzhen Town Teahouse located on the old street in Pengzhen Town, about 30 km in the west of Chengdu, China's Sichuan province. The old house is a bungalow, nameless, no sign, with an area of 200-300 square meters, facing the streets on its two sides. The front and back doors are all made of wooden boards. The main wooden hall beams hanging overhead inside the teahouse slants a bit down and the walls are discolored by damps and crumbling with age, which all tells us the old teahouse still lives in the remote history. When you enter the old teahouse, you will see the old tea tables, old bamboo chairs, old tea customers, old teapots, giving people a feeling of being in the another world. Here there is no hustle and bustle of the cities, no shadows of reckless people, but rather a simple and leisure mode of live, attracting numerous visitors each year to experience the simple and unsophisticated life style.
