Chongqing Art Adventure SFAI Graffiti Street + DIY Painting

Spend a relaxing 4-hour art journey exploring Huangjueping Graffiti Street, centered around the renowned Sichuan Fine Arts Institute (SFAI). As one of China's largest street art districts, this vibrant area blends dynamic urban art, high-end gallery culture, and authentic local daily life—perfect for art lovers, photo enthusiasts, and small groups seeking engaging, interactive experiences. 

You'll meet your local English-speaking guide, and after a brief preparation, set off on a leisurely stroll along the 1.25-kilometer graffiti street. Colorful murals, creative wall paintings, and art installations adorn entire residential buildings and alleyways, crafted by SFAI faculty, students, and artists from around the world. These works showcase a mix of pop art, abstract designs, retro styles, and unique Chongqing cultural elements. Your guide will share the area's art history and the stories behind classic murals, with plenty of stops for photos and casual sightseeing along the way. 

After exploring the graffiti street, we'll make our way to the Sichuan Fine Arts Institute Art Gallery. Admission is free with a valid ID, and the gallery features contemporary paintings, sculptures, art installations, and seasonal exhibitions. Wander through the quiet exhibition halls, admire professional artworks, and immerse yourself in the strong artistic atmosphere of one of China's top art universities. Please note: the gallery is closed every Monday, except on national public holidays. The tour's highlight is a guided hands-on graffiti experience in the officially designated free creation zone. Each guest receives a basic kit including spray paint, disposable gloves, and a protective apron—no drawing skills required! You can paint your name, simple patterns, or travel mementos on the designated walls, creating a one-of-a-kind souvenir of your trip. All creations adhere to local regulations to protect public property and existing artworks.
