The ancient town was founded in 200 AD. The ancient Dawei Old Street stretches for 2 kilometers along the Li River.

The ancient town still retains a number of ancient handicraft workshops such as bamboo weaving workshops, straw shoe workshops, traditional funeral supplies stores, herbal medicine clinics, and old barber shops. The idle old people are either reading some yellowed books on the street, or gathering together to drink tea and play cards, living peacefully, watching over the last of antiquity. Most of the houses along the stone road are two-story Ming and Qing dynasty buildings with blue bricks and blue tiles, and the vicissitudes of history can be seen everywhere. Each house has a very reasonable design, integrating business and residence. It is composed of a front door, a patio, a main room, a wing room, and a backyard.
