Xichang Street Night Market Introduction
The 2010 film "Monga" was shot in many locations around Longshan Temple, Qingshao Lane, and the Bopiliao Historic Block, which sparked a surge in local tourism. The Xichang Street Night Market is located right next to Longshan Temple; this area was once bustling with commercial activities. In recent years, the city government has reorganized the stalls, concentrating vendors in the middle of the road. Vendors near Guangzhou Street mainly sell clothing and general merchandise, while food stalls are located closer to Guilin Road on Xichang Street. Popular snacks in the area include douhua (tofu pudding), grass jelly tea, oil rice, and potstickers. After visiting Longshan Temple to pray for blessings, consider taking a stroll down Xichang Street! Xichang Qingshao Lane is located in Alley 224 on Xichang Street, right next to the Xichang Street Night Market. It is a renowned area filled with the strong aroma of herbal plants as soon as you step in. The lane features several shops that specialize in selling various fresh medicinal herbs and dried leaves that the public can purchase to brew at home. There are also homemade herbal drinks available on-site, including grass jelly tea, bitter tea, and hibiscus tea. It’s worth taking a walk through this historic alley and enjoying a cup of rich herbal tea!
