About Qilou Old Streets
Zhongshan Road is the pedestrian centre of the visit, while Bo’ai, Deshengsha and Xinhua roads show the wider street network. The interest lies in the repeated covered fronts and the differences in the buildings above them.
Begin with Zhongshan Road’s architectural rhythm, then continue towards Bo’ai Road and the Dongmen Market area for the everyday commercial setting. Courtyard woodwork may be visible where a building is publicly open, but private homes and working premises should be treated separately from the street walk.
What to look for
- Arcaded shopfronts create a continuous sheltered edge along the historic streets.
- Zhongshan Road combines older facades with a pedestrian commercial setting.
- The Bo’ai Road and Dongmen Market area shows the district’s continuing market life.
The surrounding area
Northern city base for arcaded streets and an urban introduction to island food.
