We walked along the river as darkness came on and suddenly found ourselves at the mouth of a street of lanterns, lights, people and enticing aromas of cooking food. We were quickly engulphed: swarms of pedestrians walking any whichway, hawkers ennticing us to eat at their restaurant or buy their souvenirs. We liked it, finding food and excitement in this...

Pleasant for a change to be without cars trying to run you down. May still find a bargain here and there but personally do not find it any more unique then other shopping areas aroung major cities. More

This is a great place to buy merchandise and also to taste local food. More

This is one of areas where a number of streets have been restored and modelled off 'old' China.

This street has everything going on and it is a pleasure to walk down as it is all pedestrianized. Take... More

Beautiful and quiet pedestrian street with lovely shops -- great place for window shopping, including having a look at the famous Cheng-du silk brocades. The prices are fixed, and definitely not cheap. But the quality in all of the shops is really lovely. Nice place to while away a couple of hours. More
