Restored structures and active commercial streets sit together here. The area is well suited to an evening meal or a slower walk after the waterworks, with no need to repeat the entire scenic-area route.

What to look for

  • Xuanhua Gate and West Street help explain the old town’s urban form.
  • Yangliu River lanes and South Bridge provide contrasting waterside walks.
