Lonely Planet review for Old Town
After checking out the monastery, everyone just wanders about the old town, specifically Square Street (Sifang Jie); from this branches a spider web of cobbled lanes and renovated buildings (some say tacky, others say cool). You'll also see white stupas everywhere. Hidden within the old town is the Scripture Chamber (古城藏经堂; Gǔchéng Cángjīng Táng), a reconstructed temple that was previously used as a memorial to the Red Army. Guīshān Park (Guīshān Gōngyuán) is also nearby and has a temple at the top with some commanding views of the area.
