Tunxi Ancient Street
It’s located in the center of the old city of Tunxi,there are hundreds of old but well preserved rows of shops, evoking a bygone era in buildings that are simple and elegant. There you can enjoy a leisurely walk among the ancient buildings and look around to search for a bargain.
Liyang Street
Here is the ancient harbor and local dwellers’ residences. We natives like to call it “Water Street” because the field is full of archaic canals, brooks, water and land opera stages which are still put into use today. It is also an ideal place for you to have a cup of tea or beer after a day’s work. Night lights will make this place and its night life more charming and mysterious so as not to leave.
