About Qilou Old Streets
They are closely tied to the river city: iron rings built into pillars once served for mooring during floods, and upper-level water doors provided access when streets were inundated. On Danan Road, decorative reliefs include fish, cranes and other auspicious motifs. Look both upward and at street level to see how practical adaptations and ornamental details share the same facades.
What to look for
- Arcaded pavements support upper facades decorated with plaster reliefs.
- Iron mooring rings and upper water doors record the streets’ adaptation to flooding.
