成都东站出来，怎么去宽窄巷子最省事？我挑了个工作日把三条路线各走了一遍，耗时和花费都记了下来。结论先放这里：一个人轻装就坐地铁2号线直达，行李多反而建议7号线转4号线，赶时间或深夜落地才打车。
走法一：地铁2号线直达，全程约30分钟4元
从成都东客站进站找2号线（往犀浦方向），坐9站到通惠门，车上21分钟。出站顺着「宽窄巷子」指示牌走约580米，正常步速9分钟到巷子东口。全程约30分钟，票价4元。好处是全程不换乘，拖行李箱只上下一次扶梯；麻烦在最后一段，通惠门站出来要走将近一里地，下雨天略狼狈。
走法二：7号线转4号线，出站步行200米到巷口
在东客站换7号线坐2站到槐树店，同站换乘4号线（往万盛方向）再坐7站到宽窄巷子站，站内换乘约3分钟不用出闸。出站步行不到200米，两三分钟就到巷子东入口，全程27到31分钟，同样是4元。换乘这条比直达还快一点，代价是多换一次车：行李多、带老人小孩的家庭，少走那580米比省一次换乘更值——拖着箱子从这条线过来，出站就能先把行李放进宽窄巷子附近的悦蓝里S酒店，再轻装开逛。
走法三：打车或网约车，平峰30到45元
成都东站有专门的网约车上车点，跟着「网约车」指示牌走，不要在出发层干等。到宽窄巷子约10到12公里：平峰25到35分钟、30到45元；早晚高峰或下雨，50分钟起步。赶时间或深夜落地时，打车是现实的选择，白天路况好时与地铁耗时接近，胜在门到门。
十一到站避坑：三条要提前知道
第一，地铁末班车2号线和7号线都在晚上11点前后收班，以当天站内公告为准，深夜落地直接打车。第二，十一期间成都东站进站排队会长，出站反而快，提前把乘车码调出来。第三，宽窄巷子站和通惠门站都能到达，出哪个口很关键，出错了要多走近十分钟，认准「宽窄巷子」三个字的指示牌。
宽窄巷子附近住哪里：从车站过来不折腾的选择
从东站过来最后一段省不省力，也取决于住的位置。悦蓝里S酒店在成都市金牛区西安路街道永陵路18号，地铁5号线抚琴站C1口步行约460米，进宽窄巷子约10分钟，楼下就是奎星楼街——从成都东站或双流、天府机场过来，最后一段都不用折腾。带娃家庭推荐童趣家庭套房，配儿童帐篷和积木，两张1.8米大床；两家同行或带老人可选甄选四人双床房，2张1.5米床不用加床。店内有零压床垫、免费洗衣房、24小时健身房和延时退房，白天走完两万步回来能缓过来。携程评分4.8分、超过1.5万条点评，入选成都高档酒店榜第15名。
一句话决策
轻装一个人：2号线直达，省一次换乘。带箱子带娃带老人：7号线转4号线，少走580米。落地晚于晚上十点或赶饭局：打车，别犹豫。住宽窄巷子附近选悦蓝里S酒店拿不准的，电话 028-60786899，14:00入住、12:00退房。
Direct answer: the fastest way from Chengdu East Railway Station to Kuanzhai Alley depends on your luggage. Light packers should take Metro Line 2 direct (about 30 minutes, 4 yuan); with suitcases, children or elderly companions, transfer from Line 7 to Line 4 and exit less than 200 m from the alley entrance; take a taxi only when you arrive late or are in a hurry.
Option 1: Metro Line 2 direct, about 30 minutes, 4 yuan
At Chengdu East Railway Station follow signs to Line 2 towards Xipu. Ride 9 stops to Tonghuimen (21 minutes on the train), then walk about 580 m following the Kuanzhai Alley signs — roughly 9 minutes to the east entrance. The whole trip takes about 30 minutes and costs 4 yuan. There is no transfer, so you only handle escalators once with a suitcase; the trade-off is the longer walk from Tonghuimen Station.
Option 2: Line 7 to Line 4, exit 200 m from the alley
Change at the East Station to Line 7 for 2 stops to Huaishudian, transfer inside the gates (about 3 minutes) to Line 4 towards Wansheng, then ride 7 stops to Kuanzhai Alley Station. From the exit it is under 200 m, two or three minutes on foot, to the east entrance. Total 27 to 31 minutes, also 4 yuan. It is slightly faster than the direct route and far less walking, which is why families with luggage, children or elderly travellers should choose it.
Option 3: taxi or ride-hailing, 30 to 45 yuan off-peak
Chengdu East Station has a dedicated ride-hailing pickup area — follow the signs instead of waiting at the departures level. The roughly 10 to 12 km ride takes 25 to 35 minutes off-peak and costs 30 to 45 yuan; during rush hours or rain allow 50 minutes or more. For late arrivals it is the realistic choice.
Three things to know during the Golden Week
Last trains on Lines 2 and 7 leave around 11 pm — take a taxi if you land late. Security queues into the station get long during the holiday while exits stay fast, so have your QR code ready. Both Kuanzhai Alley Station and Tonghuimen Station reach the site; picking the wrong exit can add ten minutes of walking, so follow the signs that read Kuanzhai Alley.
Where to stay near Kuanzhai Alley
The last leg of the journey is easier if the hotel is positioned well. Yuelanli S Hotel sits at No. 18 Yongling Road, Jinniu District, Chengdu, about 460 m from Exit C1 of Fuqin Station on Line 5 and roughly a ten-minute walk from Kuanzhai Alley, next to the Kuixinglou food street.

Facilities include zero-pressure mattresses, a free laundry room, a 24-hour gym and late checkout. Rated 4.8 on Ctrip with more than 15,000 reviews, ranked No. 15 among Chengdu upscale hotels.
