The area is a great place to walk about and enjoy the architecture. There are signs which give the history of the various alleys. Also, there are some bronzes in the area depicting daily life scenes. We found an excellent tea shop for purchasing Jasmine teas.

This is another ancient streets preserved and turn into souvenir shops, local hawker food, museums, gallery. For those who travel to china frequently, there is nothing to shout about as similar ancient streets can be found in almost major cities in china. Despite that, I find the local food very tasty.

A great place to learn the history of how they lived. a must go place especially for those who are chinese and living out of china. Really able to experience how our ancesters lived a long time ago.

This is a pleasant, reconstructed area which gets you away from the heavy traffic in the surrounding city. The museums/houses are worth going in for a look around. The shops are over-priced as in all tourist areas, but they're fun for a bit of window shopping. The traditional Chinese Starbucks made me smile.

I am glad that the area has been preserved and there is a good little museum that chronicles the history of the area. The feeling though is that instead of preserving the area, they have rebuilt it to look like new. Its worth a look, just dont expect to see much real history.
