Sanxia Old Street Introduction
The Sanxia Old Street, famous for its golden bull horns, also known as Sanjiao Yong Old Street, has been a bustling commercial street since the Qing Dynasty. After the street was reorganized during the Japanese colonial period, new Western-style buildings gradually emerged, showcasing the prosperity of Sanxia. Today, stepping into the ancient Sanxia Old Street feels like walking into a time tunnel, where the continuous red brick arches and Baroque-style gates create a unique image of the old street. Sanxia Old Street gathers historical sites, delicious food, and cultural essence. In addition to the old architecture, the street is filled with camphor shops, dye shops, tea houses, traditional Chinese medicine shops, and grocery stores, which were the main industries in the Sanxia area during the Qing Dynasty and Japanese colonial period. Travelers may want to enter the nostalgic shops to experience the old charm of Sanxia; they also cannot miss the local flavors on the old street, such as the diverse and renowned Sanxia Golden Bull Horns and the handcrafted tofu pudding passed down through three generations. Furthermore, visitors can explore the "Sanxia Historical Museum" at the entrance of the old street to learn about the rich history and cultural heritage of the Sanxia area; they can also visit the "Public Art Museum" located in the middle section of the old street, where in this transformed old house café, they can appreciate delicate artworks by artists and dental tools from the early years of their grandfather's practice, bringing the most comforting enjoyment to travelers in the tranquil alleys!
