Lonely Planet review for Qīnghéfāng Old Street

At the south end of Zhongshan Zhonglu is this fun and fascinating bustling pedestrian street (清河坊历史文化街;Qīnghéfāng Lìshǐ Wénhuà Jiē), with makeshift puppet theatres, teahouses and curio stalls. Chomp on a chewy nánsòng dìngshèng gāo (南宋定胜糕; southern Song dingsheng cake, Y1.50), or a guǐcài jiānbing (鬼菜煎饼; Chinese burrito; Y3), pick up a hand-carved stone teapot (Y29) or a box of lóngxūtáng (龙须糖; dragon whiskers sweets; Y10 a box) and grab some ginseng or silk. It's also the home of several traditional medicine shops, including the Húqìngyú Táng Chinese Medicine Museum, which is an actual dispensary and clinic.

    very cool

    fraggleistic recommends this,

    full of culture and foreigners. A little high priced, but plenty of things to see and delicious things to eat. Old buildings, lanterns, statues. Take your camera! Delicious plum tea and old medicine shops. Lots of cool shops.
