Qingshui Hehua - Chengdu

Good vegan food is hard to come by in China but this place was a real stand out. There is a huge range of dishes to chose from, with every kind of classic Chinese dish you can imagine. The staff don't speak English but they were very friendly and ordering was easy via a QR code on the table. Everything we ate was excellent and the price was reasonable. The location on Happy Cow/Goggle Maps is a little off. We eventually found it by putting the Chinese name into Amap after spending 10 mins using the Google location. I've added a few photos to my review but if you come across a Starbucks, you are close. There are public toilets in front of a sign for the restaurant in English, but you have to go round the back to get in. It's a bit confusing but we were pointed in right direction by some locals. I've added a few photos to help.

Not easy to find, but the Google maps is mostly accurate. It's inside a arts and craft centre so you have to poke around using Google maps. Prices are reasonable, food are tasty and super easy to order as the app is in English. It's close to the Zen Hotel. Updated from previous review on 2022-07-06

The 龙抄手 (wontons) were not bad. The 麻婆豆腐 (mapo tofu) was not good, just tested like mala powder. Not so easy to find. The entrance looked like the shop was a renovated space. Inside it looked like a closed food court. But after I went up the stairs I found the actual restaurant area.

An extensive, interesting pure vegetarian menu with local dishes such as clay pots, noodles, rice etc. Some more unusual salads, stews and tofu options too.

Known by its English name as A lotus on the water , this restaurant will leave you spellbound by the huge selection and variety of food on offer. It was almost overwhelming to have so much choice. For this reason I think the restaurant deserves repeat visits.
