"Sharrie's Tunxi Old Street" Tunxi by Sharrie

Tunxi Travel Guide: 12 reviews and 29 photos

TUNXI is the little town at the foot of Huangshan.
It's a place I visited without agenda.

After hiking 3 days in Huangshan & spending some time at its foot, I've some time left before my flight at night.
The girl driver (well, she's only 19!) suggested going into town as she wanted to do some shopping (after making those $$$ from me, ie ;-)).
So, happily we went.

Well, she did a lot more shopping than I did!
All I remembered was I was merely sampling the street food!
But it was a nice evening.
I was glad she made the money & happy that I made some contribution to the local economy, one way or another :-)

This one certainly looks much more presentable. Again, I've no idea what's inside. Pity... but can't see them... more travel advice

Tunxi Museum Things to Do (2)

Take a stroll down the Old Street... akin to those Old Towns in Europe. It's full of rows of old architecture,... more travel advice

Tunxi is not where most foreigners will venture on their first trips to China. It's nothing like Shanghai, Beijing,... more travel advice

When you venture into the heart of Tunxi, if you are Chinese, you'll realise what I'm trying to say. If not, don't... more travel advice

I shall return after construction is completed. See my Tunxi page for advice on buying antiques. I think Tunxi is one of China's best antique markets.
