A Song- and Ming-dynasty-style commercial street that evolved from wharf markets on the banks of the Xin'an River, dubbed 'a flowing Along the River During the Qingming Festival'; dense with shops selling Hui ink, She inkstones and Huangshan Maofeng tea plus baked-flatbread stalls, its rows of horse-head walls and lantern-lit night streetscape make great photos for free — it is the arrival and departure hub for Huangshan trips.
Getting there: High-speed rail, Huangshan North Station, then bus to downtown
