枇杷树下的小蜜蜂[Stop calling it a "tourist street"! I stayed in Tunxi Old Street for 3 days and discovered 9 secrets even locals don't know!] 🏮✨ "When I pushed open the wooden door of the guesthouse at 5 a.m., and saw the 'rainy alley' described in Dai Wangshu's poem truly before my eyes—the bluestone slabs gleaming with a soft light, the soy milk shops steaming with rising vapor—at that moment I declared: This is the real Jiangnan!" It turns out that the daytime bustle is just its camouflage; Tunxi in the early morning and late at night is its true self, alive for 800 years.
📍 **Truth-shattering cards**
▫️Tunxi Old Street ≠ just one street! It's a maze composed of 1 main street, 3 side streets, and 18 alleys. ▫️Total length: 1272 meters (exactly the altitude of Huangshan Mountain)
▫️Hidden identity: China's best-preserved Southern Song, Ming, and Qing dynasty commercial street. ▫️Best time to visit: 7:00-9:00 (morning light wonder), after 21:00 (time travel).
🚶♂️ **Transportation Tips**
✔️High-speed rail to "Huangshan North Station" → Bus 21 directly to "Old Street First Road"
✔️Drive to "Binjiang West Road Parking Lot" (3-minute walk to the Old Street)
⚠️Fatal mistake: Never drive into the Old Street! The alleys are so narrow that your rearview mirror will scrape against the wall!🎯 **Time-Based Itinerary**
**🌅Early Morning Version (7:00-9:00)**
• Take photos of the "Treasure of the Town" archway at the entrance of the old street (no tourists in the background)
• Go to the "Tiger Stove" (a century-old teahouse) with locals to get hot water
• Watch the Dai Zhen Memorial Hall administrator sweep fallen leaves (free admission during peak season)
**☀️Daytime Version (10:00-17:00)**
• Experience the three intangible cultural heritage activities: Huizhou ink gilding, Shexian inkstone carving, and Xuan paper making.
• Find Master Li to carve your name seal at "Sanbai Yanzhai" (hidden in the second-floor studio).
• Learn from "Xie Yuda Tea House". Tea ceremony performance (free tasting of Huangshan Maofeng tea)
**🌙Evening Edition (7:00 PM - 10:00 PM)**
• Night cruise on the Xin'an River in a traditional rowing boat (the boatwoman will sing Huizhou folk songs)
• Listen to the third-generation successor of "Wang Yitiao Wonton" tell his grandfather's story • Find 9 light art installations (hidden around alley corners)
**🌌Late Night Edition (after 10:00 PM)**
• Drink osmanthus rice wine at an old tavern deep in the alley (a gathering place for local literary youth)
• Take photos of the shop doors after closing (a calligraphy exhibition of surnames)
• Listen to the night watchman's clapper (a night watchman's ritual passed down from the Song Dynasty)
🏨 **Accommodation Confidential Files**
✅Nostalgia lovers: Stay at "Huisha" (converted from a Ming Dynasty official's residence)
✅Photography enthusiasts: Choose "Linjiang Yilou" (Xin'an River view from the window)
✅Students: "Laojie International" youth hostel (stargazing from the rooftop)
⚠️Weekend room rates double! Recommended accommodation: Stay on the outskirts of the old street and walk in 🍜 **A Culinary Secret**
▪️ **Must-Try List**:
1. Xiu Sao's Tart Cake (the authentic filling is chives and tofu)
2. Lingshan Rice Wine (fermented with ancient well water)
3. Hairy Tofu (look for the "Fang Xin Yu" brand)
4. Stinky Mandarin Fish (the most authentic at "Lao Ma's Home Feast")
▪️ **Hidden Menu**:
• Ask the wonton shop for "Butterfly Noodles" (not listed on the menu)
• "Tea-Scented Chicken" on the second floor of the tea shop (reservations required 3 hours in advance)
📸 **Photogenic Secrets**
1. Composition at the "One Line Sky" at the alley entrance (with morning light)
2. Window frame of Wan Cui Lou Museum (borrowing scenery from the Xin'an River)
3. When the lanterns first light up at dusk (blue hour)
4. Photographing reflections on rainy days (the bluestone slabs become mirrors)
💡 **Things to Amaze Locals**
• Collect 9 stamps from time-honored brands (free stamp book available at the visitor center)
• Participate in the Wednesday Intangible Cultural Heritage Market (live demonstrations by artisans)
• Rent Hanfu and walk the "Huizhou Merchants' Road" (from the old street to the dock)
• Chat with street sweepers at dawn (they know all the legends)
🌟 **My Moment of Breakdown**
At the "Tongderen" pharmacy, a 90-year-old pharmacist pointed to the steelyard and said, "My family has used this to weigh medicine for five generations. Now my grandson uses an electronic scale." But he still wipes the scale beam clean every day—some traditions are more important than business.
📢 **Survival Guide**
• Wear flat shoes! (The stone slabs are uneven)
• Prepare small change (elderly vendors don't use mobile payments)
• Beware of "free samples" (potentially forced sales)
• Wear shoe covers on rainy days (slow drainage in alleyways)
Finally, I want to say: The most touching thing about Tunxi Old Street isn't the architecture, but the people who live under its eaves. When you receive the bowl from the grandma at the soy milk shop and hear her say "Be careful, it's hot!" in the distinctive Huizhou accent, you'll suddenly understand—this is the living Jiangnan. 🌿 #TunxiOldStreetHiddenGarden #HuizhouLiveliness #SouthernSongDynastyTravelGuide #IntangibleCulturalHeritageExperienceCeiling #MustVisitAncientTownsInHuangshan---
