Absolutely loved it here despite it being packed with tourist. We parked up and walked in soaking int he atmosphere. Smaller street food vendors surrounds the central parts of the main attractions. Walking into the centre you are surrounded by beautiful ancient looking buildings shops and restaurants. We headed towards the garden, and walked around the free section

What a charming street! It's a vibrant, pedestrian-only place, filled with buildings that faithfully recreate classic Chinese architecture. The feeling is like walking through a well-preserved ancient village, with all those traditional rooftops and wooden details. The street is full of life, with countless souvenir shops, small snack stalls, and typical restaurants. It's a great place to stroll, take photos, and soak up the local atmosphere, even if you don't buy anything. Free access.

Beautiful in the day as well as at night. In fact, night view is better. Pretty to snap many pictures! A good spot to immerse yourself in beautiful buildings. Lots of eateries here, just be selective.

Beautifully renovated and preserved shopping mall. Can be very busy with picture taking tourists. Sales people are very present, but still respectful and friendly. Enjoyed a few pop up street performances and had to bargain a lot at market places.
