Dongguan street

Probably every tourist city has such a street.

It used to be a prosperous economic zone in the city, but now most of the goods sold are local specialties and similar products wholesaled from Yiwu Small Commodities Market.

Xie Fuchun, snuff, Xun, tea, cakes, silk, lacquerware, etc.

Seemingly familiar.

But every time I go to a new place, I feel regretful if I don’t come.

Dongguan Street was an important water and land transportation route in ancient Yangzhou, and the street was where the ancient canal wharf was located.

Yangzhou salt merchants are a unique phenomenon in Chinese history. In particular, Yangzhou salt merchants in the Qing Dynasty were a prominent political and economic group, and the Lianghuai salt tax was directly related to the economic lifeline of the Qing court. Because Yangzhou's salt transportation was developed at that time, salt merchants were distributed along the ancient canal, and the doors of many salt merchants' houses were directly opened on Dongguan Street.



There are many famous shops on Dongguan Street that you must visit.



Lotus root starch glutinous rice balls with simple food.

Juxiangzhai’s sesame seed cakes and tofu pudding.

Pastries from Da Qilin Pavilion.

Xie Fuchun's powder is characterized by duck egg powder. Although Xie Fuchun stores are all over the country, few people know that this time-honored Chinese cosmetics brand actually originated in Yangzhou.

There is a lian tree, also known as chinaberry, in the middle of Dongguan Street. Its refreshing fragrance can be smelled from a long distance away.

I couldn't help but inhale again and again.

It's quite interesting. The main road is about 1km long. There are four small attractions with paid tickets of 10-20 each. I didn't go in. There are all kinds of shops on the main road, selling food, entertainment, and daily necessities. The prices are relatively affordable. I was not familiar with it the first time I walked, so I walked from west to east and then walked back from east to west. It takes about 45 minutes to walk in one direction. I walked twice and ate a lot of things and picked postcards, so it took two hours. If you want to buy food, it is mainly concentrated in the westernmost part. There is even a snack street extending about 300 meters. The middle and eastern parts are basically selling things. If you want to find a post office and a tourist center, you can go to the easternmost part close to the canal before five o'clock~

Every tourist city has an old historical street. Dongguan Street is the most representative old historical street in Yangzhou. It stretches from the ancient Grand Canal in the east to Guoqing Road in the west, with a total length of 1,122 meters. Dongguan Street was not only an important water and land transportation route in Yangzhou, but also a commercial, handicraft and religious cultural center. Since the opening of the Grand Canal, this thoroughfare, which is connected to the city and relies on the canal, has gradually become the most active gathering place for trade and cultural exchanges. After thousands of years of accumulation, the street has left behind rich historical relics and cultural relics, making it the best-preserved ancient commercial street in the cities along the Grand Canal in China.

Dongguan Street is the most representative historical street in Yangzhou. It stretches from the ancient Grand Canal in the east to Guoqing Road in the west, with a total length of 1,122 meters. Dongguan Street was not only an important waterway and land transportation route in Yangzhou, but also a commercial, handicraft and religious cultural center. The street is bustling with businesses and all kinds of trades, and business is booming. There are nearly a hundred Luchen Stores, Oil and Rice Shops, Fresh Fish Stores, Eight Fresh Products Stores, Fruit Stores, and Bamboo and Wood Stores. In addition to time-honored shops, there are also many historical sites and cultural relics: Yipu, Wang's Garden, Geyuan, a national key cultural relic protection unit, as well as Guangling Academy, Anding Academy, Yidong Academy, which were founded earlier in Yangzhou, and Wudang Palace and Zhunti Temple in the Ming Dynasty.

At around 9pm, some shops on Dongguan Street were closed and there were not many tourists. We didn't buy anything, but hurriedly walked from the beginning to the end and took a taxi back. The children got the electric balls here, which was quite satisfying.

Dongguan Street is right outside the south gate of Geyuan. It seems that every city has such a street, with all kinds of food, small shops, and tourists coming and going. I had experienced Dongguan Street at night yesterday, and today I came to experience Dongguan Street in the rain. I don’t know if it’s because of the season or the weather, but there weren’t many people. Even the simple meals that the guide mentioned that you have to queue up at any time can find a seat. Passing by every store that sells small toys, the child will excitedly turn around, so Dongguan Street is a place that sells toys for her. She likes it very much and even feels a little reluctant to leave when she leaves.

      

I think Yangzhou Dongguan Street is the most down-to-earth and well-maintained ancient street I have ever visited, especially the bluestone pavement. It feels like knocking on the wooden fish of history when you step on it. The 1,200-year-old history is hidden in the carved wooden doors on the street. Turning into the alley, it suddenly became quiet as if traveling through time: creepers were running around on the mottled brick walls, bamboo curtains were set up on the second floor of the old teahouse, and a young lady in Hanfu took photos against the flower window! It is recommended to visit in the evening. The sunset dyed the East Gate wall into honey color. When the lanterns were lit, the whole street seemed to be soaked in warm yellow wine, and the bamboo tube ice cream on the roadside became particularly artistic.

Foodies come here and start "street sweeping mode": the 5-yuan lotus root starch dumplings are so sticky that they can be pulled into strings, the aroma of the old Yangzhou salted goose is so tempting that you can smell it from half a street away, and when you're queuing, the uncle in front of you even enthusiastically recommends: "Their goose gizzards are best dipped in vinegar!" When you get to "Cuchadanfan", you have to have a whole bowl of crab roe soup dumplings. The moment you poke the hole with the straw, the fresh soup gushes out, and it's worth the scalding taste!

Hey~~~ It's a commercial street similar to Pishi Street, full of specialty shops. It's very convenient for eating and shopping. One of the entrances to Geyuan is here.

Transportation to Dongguan Street: Dongguan Street is located in the center of Yangzhou. You can take a bus, taxi or drive there. It is recommended that tourists choose green travel methods, such as walking or cycling, to reduce the impact on the environment.



Food: Dongguan Street is a famous food street with various delicious snacks, such as Yangzhou fried rice, Yangzhou dried shredded vegetables, Yangzhou three-piece duck, Yangzhou morning tea, etc. It is recommended that tourists can taste the local food and experience the local food culture.

Shopping: There are many shops and small stores on both sides of Dongguan Street, where you can buy local specialty products and souvenirs, such as Yangzhou paper-cutting, Yangzhou embroidery, Yangzhou sugar painting, etc. It is recommended that tourists can buy souvenirs and specialty products locally as souvenirs or gifts.

Dongguan Street, the most representative historical street in Yangzhou

The street is bustling with many time-honored shops, such as the Simei Sauce Garden in 1817 and the Xie Fuchun Powder Shop in 1870.

Feel the prosperity of ancient salt merchants in Dongguan Street~

At night: Ride an electric bike to tour the ancient canal on both sides at night, or take a boat to enjoy the view

Every city has such a historical district, and the content and form are similar.

Yangzhou Dongguan Street is located in Yangzhou, Jiangsu Province. It is the most representative historical street in Yangzhou. It stretches from the ancient Grand Canal in the east to Guoqing Road in the west, with a total length of 1,122 meters. Dongguan Street was not only an important water and land transportation route in Yangzhou, but also a commercial, handicraft and religious cultural center.

It is similar to the ancient streets in other cities, but the streets are inhabited by ordinary people, so the atmosphere of this ancient street is stronger. Apart from the same snacks and Yiwu products, there are no other cultural elements.

Dongguan Street is the most representative historical old street in Yangzhou City, located next to the ancient canal.

In fact, we didn't know Dongguan Street was here. After visiting the ancient canal, I was about to go back when I caught a glimpse of the city tower across the street. It was brightly lit and extremely dazzling. So I took my parents over to see what was going on.

It is a must-visit historical street. There are all kinds of shops, typical commercial streets, without much characteristics. I sat in Starbucks for a while, and then walked back and forth on the street several times, thinking about what to eat in the evening. What I like more is the city gate at the end, which is very magnificent, and the ancient canal is right outside the door, with a wider view.

A very long old street with a city gate and a garden on the side. I didn't have time to walk around. Many ancient streets are similar, using old houses and shops as commercial streets. The snacks have local characteristics, but barbecue, squid, stinky tofu, etc., I think they are not only available here. In general, it's just a stroll. If you want to find the taste of life, you might as well go west and cross the road to walk along the old street.

The commercial street is full of snacks, just like Wuhan Hubu Lane and Xi'an Muslim Street. However, it is not as large as the above two. It has some Yangzhou characteristics, such as steamed buns and wine shops. But many of them are also like other snack streets, with lots of barbecue and skewers.

A street for eating, drinking and having fun, more commercialized.

It is an ancient commercial street. The main street is average, but the garden beside the street is worth spending an afternoon there.

The ancient street prepared for tourists, you can go and see it if you have time. Together with Geyuan.

It is equivalent to an old street, and many things are also found in other old streets.

Dongguan Street is an old street in Yangzhou. Geyuan is also here and there are many snacks.

It is just outside the south gate of Geyuan Garden. The street is full of shops selling Yangzhou specialties, mostly snacks. It is busier at night than during the day.

The history of Dongguan Street can be traced back to the Song Dynasty. The city tower at the East Gate shows its age, and you can see the ancient foundation stone below when you pass through the city gate. In addition to the city gate, there are many time-honored shops and workshops on the street, all of which are worth visiting.

It's quite nice at night. It's a long ancient alley. The things sold are similar to other tourist commercial streets.

Dongguan Street is bustling with businesses, all kinds of trades and booming business.

There were nearly a hundred shops including Lu Chen Shop, Oil and Rice Shop, Fresh Fish Shop, Eight Fresh Shop, Fruit Shop, and Bamboo and Wood Shop.

A typical commercial street in a tourist city, very large, with slightly higher prices

There is a food street in Dongguan Street. I highly recommend Tofu Dynasty. Their stinky tofu is the best I have ever eaten! ! Qingdou’s palace cheese is also good, as well as Huangqiao sesame cakes, which are worth trying. The rest are similar shops, and the same standard is available in food streets across the country.

The ancient streets and shops are just like the commercial streets in other places, with many attractions.

The quaint old street is not very long and has many specialty shops, snack bars and stores.

In addition to the main commercial street, Dongguan Street also has many small alleys on both sides, which are still inhabited by local residents.

To me, this is the real charm of historical districts, where modern people live in century-old houses.

The collision between modern life and ancient architecture has given new vitality to this area~

I suggest you don't join a group, nothing else. Haha.

Just like every city has a snack street, this is Yangzhou's snack street. There are many snacks here. Unfortunately, there are relatively few local delicacies in Yangzhou. Most of them are snacks that can be found all over the country.

It was once a prosperous street, and many old commercial establishments are still preserved.

Tourist check-in spot: Suitable for passing by and strolling, but I was a little disappointed if I came here specifically. It is a very ordinary tourist commercial street with no special features. There is nothing delicious either, either it is not special or the taste is hard to describe.

Like all the ancient architectural streets in the country, the whole street is commercialized and there is no point in visiting.

Dongguan Street is the most representative historical street in Yangzhou. In the past, this street was not only the key point of Yangzhou's land and water transportation, but also the center of commerce, handicrafts and religious culture. The "old brands" on the street include Simei Sauce Garden, Xie Fuchun Powder Shop, Pan Guanghe Hardware Store, Xia Guangsheng Tofu Shop, Dahetang Chinese Medicine Clinic, etc. There are also many famous snacks, such as Jianhu Lotus Root Powder Dumplings.

Dongguan Street is bustling with people and lights at night. It is a lively scene. It is a street of delicious food, with barbecue, fried skewers, cold skewers, milk tea, etc. It is a good place to indulge yourself at night.

Dongguan Street in the morning is completely different from the bustling night, it is quiet and silent. Occasionally there are office workers struggling for life, sanitation workers cleaning the road, and tourists like me.

The thick stone road carries people from all corners of the world, accommodating their laughter, joy, anger, sorrow and happiness. It is plain yet not boring.

The desert is filled with solitary smoke, and the long river is filled with setting sun. This scene reminds me of this poem, and I feel a little sad for some reason.

Dongguan Street is mainly a short street, connecting to the ferry in the east and Caiyi Street in the west. There are all kinds of food, entertainment and daily necessities for sale, and the prices are acceptable. There is Jiangjiaqiao Dumpling Noodle House, a local specialty restaurant, at the junction of the east and Caiyijie. It is very cost-effective.

One night tour, one day tour, no matter day or night, there are always tourists. Ancient towns and streets across the country always exude the same temperament, but they are given different names in different places. Here it is called Dongguan Street.

There are many alleys when entering the ancient town from Dongquanmen. They are all well preserved and have a very quaint flavor. Some alleys are so narrow that only one person can pass through. There are not many tourists in the ancient alleys. It is very quiet. I like this feeling. When I arrived at Dongguan Street, people began to surge again.

Every city has a street of affordable snacks.

Dongguan Street is the central street in the Yangzhou Dongguan Historical and Cultural Tourism Zone. This is the ancient city area of ​​Yangzhou, just like the courtyard houses in Beijing and the alleys in Shanghai. Many locals (mostly the elderly and outsiders) still live here, and they still need to wash in public toilets. Although the government has renovated it, the smell...

Scattered among them are the former residences of various cultural celebrities and various traditional time-honored commercial shops, which can fully represent the history of Yangzhou. During the tour, we felt the full atmosphere of life in Yangzhou during the Qing Dynasty. Although we don’t know what Yangzhou would have looked like ten days ago, what has been preserved now is enough.

Yangzhou is a famous cultural and historical street with many attractions. It is easy to get lost. There are many snacks inside and the prices are reasonable.

The familiar formula, stone pavement, antique buildings, plus various Yiwu small commodities. I was surprised to find that there was the Calabash Brothers comic book that I loved most when I was a child. At the end of Dongguan Street is the ruins of the East Gate of Yangzhou.

Dongguan Street is still worth a visit. There are many places to eat and some interesting small shops that I like.

Taobao is so powerful nowadays that I don’t have much desire to buy anything on the spot. Apart from trying some snacks and drinking some special drinks, I feel that Dongguan Street is still not as good as the Kuanzhai Alley and Jinli in Chengdu, nor is it as good as the Pingjiang Historical and Cultural Street in Suzhou.

Now it feels like a must-go place for tour groups, there are a lot of people...

Open attractions, no tickets required.

Dongguan Street gave me the feeling of traveling to Guandong, which is obviously not the same concept. Dongguan Street is the most representative old historical street in Yangzhou. It was not only an important transportation route in Yangzhou, but also the commercial, religious and cultural center here.

Today, Dongguan Street is still highly commercialized, and the ancient streets and alleys have reproduced their former prosperity.

This street is so long, and there are so many things to eat. It is different from the one I started with. It feels so lively and festive.

Dongguan Street is quite long, with a lot of food, drinks and other things to sell, including many internet-famous stores!

It is a reconstructed old street that can be seen in various cities in recent years. One end is connected to the Old East Gate and the other end is connected to the Geyuan Garden, so the journey between the two places will not be too lonely. It is said that the former residence of the third generation core is also nearby.

In general, it is worth a visit. However, the types of goods on the street are too popular, and there should be more Yangzhou characteristics!

Dongguan Street is like Nanluoguxiang and Wudaoying in Beijing, both of which are very lively places. There are many delicious, fun and beautiful places in the street.

There are various boutiques and snack bars on Dongguan Street.

Dongguan Street is full of snack bars and gift shops. For foodies, it is a paradise!

Every historic city has an old street that has been heavily wrapped in modern commercial atmosphere. Guandong Street is to Yangzhou what Nanluoguxiang is to Beijing. It would be a pity not to go there, but it would not add any highlights to the trip if you have gone there. There are dense tourists from morning to night, especially at night, when they are shoulder to shoulder. However, you can walk around the alleys connected to Dongguan Street at will, which are filled with a strong atmosphere of life.

A cultural street where you can sightsee and eat local snacks

Walk eastward along Dongguan Street and you will reach the Grand Canal at the end.

Dongguan Street is somewhat similar to the food streets and specialty streets in other tourist cities.

But no matter how I look at it, it seems much cleaner here, and the blue brick buildings look very refreshing.

Some small shops in particular have green plants and red flowers outside the blue bricks, which looks particularly romantic.

Dongguan Street is the most representative historical street in Yangzhou. The buildings are simple and elegant, with gray tiles and white walls, and they are more artistic under the embrace of green trees and bamboos. There are many businesses on both sides of the street, and many old brands such as "Simei Sauce Garden" and "Xie Fuchun Powder" have a history of hundreds of years. There are also many historical relics, such as Yipu and Wang's Xiaoyuan, which are on the street. You can buy a ticket to visit at any time. By analogy, Dongguan Street is like the ancient cultural street here. It is similar in nature but different in taste. I strongly recommend you to go for a stroll and experience it.

This quaint alley can really give you a different taste at any time. Dongguan Street is very lively during the day, with a strong atmosphere of life. After tasting the handmade osmanthus cake and buying some cowhide candy, we bid farewell to this street with a sense of satisfaction.

There are many time-honored brands, old shops and old houses here, as well as old streets and alleys connected end to end. There are Yangzhou specialties and Xie Fuchun’s specialty store. The sachets and duck egg powder are quite distinctive. When you walk to the end, you will see Dongquanmen.

Dongguan Street is bustling with people. Both sides of the street are lined with ancient hometown buildings and storefronts, selling snacks and various souvenirs.

Although Dongguan Street is a bit like a pedestrian street that only tourists go to, it is not without delicious food. The lotus root starch dumplings at Cuchadanfan are worth a trip to Dongguan Street. There is another store called Baoying Longyu Noodle House not far from Cuchadanfan that also has lotus root starch dumplings, but the skin is thicker. If you like thick skin, you can try it. However, what is more worth eating at this store is the longyu (eel) noodle soup. The fish soup is milky white with a strong peppery aroma. The longyu meat is delicate and delicious.

A must-visit place in Yangzhou. It seems that every city has such an attraction. If you come to Dongguan Street during the day, you can visit the former residences of celebrities. Ge Garden and Wang's Garden are both inside Dongguan Street. It is also nice to see the lights of the East Gate Tower at night.

Dongguan Street is very close to the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, so you can stop by and take a stroll. I didn't expect that after walking through so many ancient streets, I would actually like Dongguan Street. Sometimes, having no expectations is the biggest surprise.

This street is quite unique, with many snacks, and I went to several of them, but they were all good, but I can't remember their names. The fastest way to understand a place is to understand the local food, and Dongguan Street is a relatively direct and complete place.

Go at night! Go early in the day! Actually, there is nothing special about the food. It is not as good as Caiyi Lane across Guoqing Road. But Sanhe Simei pickles are worth buying, good quality and cheap!

Right on the bank of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, there is a historical old street in the Yangzhou style, with Yangzhou snacks everywhere on the street and many businesses lining the streets, satisfying all your food, clothing, housing, transportation, food, drink and entertainment needs, and the night view is also extremely beautiful.

Dongguan Street is the commercial street in the old city of Yangzhou. It mainly sells delicious food and various special items. It is worth visiting it at night when traveling to Yangzhou, but it is not recommended to spend money there.

When you exit Geyuan, you will reach Dongguan Street, where you can stroll around and eat some snacks. You can also go to the city wall to overlook the panoramic view of Dongguan Street. There are many small alleys in Dongguan Street that are particularly charming.

April is probably the peak season for tourism, and the weather was nice and sunny, so there were so many people on Dongguan Street that when I picked up my camera, the screen was full of tourists and I couldn't take any good pictures. Following the crowds, we searched for food, enjoyed the beautiful scenery, and let ourselves go in this ancient city...

Every tourist city has a street that foreign tourists must visit. As such a street, Yangzhou's Dongguan Street does not have as strong a commercial atmosphere as Xi'an's Muslim Street. There are many specialty stores on Dongguan Street, and the prices are quite affordable. Some popular snacks, such as simple meals, I went to Dongguan Street for two consecutive days but I couldn't get a spot. The entrance to Geyuan is also on Dongguan Street. At the end is Dongguan Ancient Ferry, where you can see the night view of the Grand Canal. It is a good choice to buy souvenirs on Dongguan Street.

Compared with other antique cultural blocks, Dongguan Street is relatively low-key, but it still gives me a stereotyped feeling.

It is better to visit Dongguan Street at night. The street is very long and the lights on both sides of the road are on. It is very beautiful! Walking alone on the street and visiting the small shops on both sides feels great and leisurely! The shops sell special products, but the quality of many things is not very good! You get what you pay for! In short, I recommend you to visit.

I didn’t spend too much time walking around Dongguan Street. I turned back before I reached the end. Firstly, there were too many people there, and secondly, the style was similar to Nanluoguxiang in Beijing. . . Maybe I didn’t know much about the cultural history of Dongguan Street. . .

Why all ancient towns cannot escape the fate of commercialization...
