Xichang Street Night Market Introduction
The 2010 movie "Monga" featured many scenes shot near Longshan Temple, Qingsao Alley, and Bopiliao, which sparked a tourism boom in the surrounding area. The Xichang Street Night Market is located right next to Longshan Temple. In the early days, commercial activities were frequent here, and in recent years, the city government has reorganized the stalls, concentrating vendors in the center of the road. Those stalls near Guangzhou Street primarily sell clothing and general merchandise, while food and snack stalls are concentrated on Xichang Street near Guilin Road. Well-known snacks in the area include tofu pudding, herbal tea, oil rice, and potstickers. If you're visiting Longshan Temple to pray for blessings, it's worth taking a stroll down Xichang Street! Xichang Qingsao Alley, located in Lane 224 of Xichang Street next to the night market, is a famous herbal alley. As soon as you step in, the rich scent of herbs greets you. The alley has several shops dedicated to selling fresh green medicinal plants and dried herbs. Visitors can purchase these to take home for brewing. There are also homemade herbal drinks available on-site, such as herbal tea, bitter tea, and hibiscus tea. It's a great place to experience an old-world atmosphere and enjoy a refreshing cup of herbal tea!
