About this place

Another great place to wander is around the old part of town off Ganquan and Guoqing roads commonly known as 'Old Yangzhou'. There’s no telling what interesting things you’ll stumble across down these back streets. Find the canal running north and south for a beautiful scene that rivals the famous canals of Suzhou. The main streets are ideal for browsing hundreds of tiny storefronts at your own pace.  From Guoqing Road head east down the alley marked for the Fu Chun Teahouse (富春茶社), one of the oldest in Yangzhou. Not only is this teahouse worth a visit, the alley leading to it is called “scissor street” and aptly sells an eye catching variety of scissors and knives.
