Things To Do in Tunxi

In the southwestern part of town 1 block north of the river is Lao Jie (Old Street), a 1.3km (3/4-mile) street lined with restored Song dynasty wooden houses and shops. The usual souvenirs are here, from ethnic batik and Mao buttons to Chinese paintings and dried foodstuffs. Shops are open from 8am to 10pm. This is a fun place to stroll even if you're not in the buying mood.
