Ancient Culture Street
Tian Jin, Tianjin Municipality
A rebuilt Qing-dynasty style shopping street centered on the Tianhou Temple, selling traditional crafts, clay figurines, and paper-cuts.
Pourquoi visiter Ancient Culture Street ?
It's the counterpoint to Tianjin's European concession districts — a reconstruction of the Chinese city that existed here before foreign concessions arrived, and the Tianhou Temple at its center is one of the oldest structures in Tianjin.
Comment en profiter
Browse the shops for Yangliuqing New Year woodblock prints and clay 'Clay Figurine Zhang' sculptures, both Tianjin-specific crafts, and step into the Tianhou Temple courtyard even if you skip the shopping.
Astuce
Prices in the tourist-facing shops are inflated — treat this as a sightseeing street first and a shopping street second.
