An indoor nostalgia-themed street named after Dandong's old name 'Andong': restored scenes of two-story arcade buildings, old shop signs, and vintage trams, bringing together mendzi (a local starch snack), seafood, Korean-ethnic snacks, and folk art performances—Dandong's top pick for a night out. Dandong was renamed from Andong in 1965, and the old street recreates the look of Andong's trading-port days in the 1920s-30s; it gained fame through livestreams and film/TV shoots, and is dubbed an experience like an 'Along the River During the Qingming Festival' of Northeast China.
Getting there: About 10 minutes by taxi from Dandong Railway Station
