If you love markets, restaurants and bars this is the place for you. Plant yourself at a table in one of the many bars and watch life flow by. Shops sell everything from moody sunglasses through to ming dynasty artifacts. ( well that what their labled as) Saturday night is a must.

Lovely streets with many shops, you will find foods, drinks, handicraft products, lovely gifts and so on at this town.

Interestingly we found a beautiful mosque in this area. Its architecture is a blend of Chinese culture and old Moslem culture. Unfortunately it was still under renovation so we couldn't see inside.
