Huzhou has such a food street, close to the urban area, full of ancient charm and a paradise for foodies.

This food street is a business card of Huzhou. It is close to the city center and full of ancient charm. It is also a paradise for foodies.

There is such a food street in Wuxing District of Huzhou, which is close to Ai Shan Square, but it has a history of thousands of years. If you travel to Huzhou, don't miss such a good place, with beautiful scenery, delicious snacks and beautiful ancient buildings, that is clothing street!

Misunderstood food street

Speaking of clothing street, outsiders may think it is a market for selling clothes. Like other cities, Clothing Street is a place where local people buy clothes. But what is disappointing is that there are basically no shops selling clothes in today's clothing street, and they are replaced by various snack bars.

Clothing Street is just across the downtown area of Aishan Square, and it is located in a bustling business district, which is very lively during the day and night. Therefore, if you just listen to the name and come to the clothing street to buy clothes, you will definitely be laughed off. Coming here to eat all kinds of local delicacies can really make tourists linger.

In fact, before the clothes street became a snack street, it really had a lot to do with selling clothes. Today's clothing street has gone through thousands of years of wind and rain, and it is not what it used to be. What is the reason?

From Commercial Street to Snack Street

It makes no sense to say that clothes street has nothing to do with selling clothes. It was named after many clothing evaluation shops. Although the name of Clothing Street has remained unchanged for many years, it is a historical issue.

As early as the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Xing Wu was too thin and Xie An once lived here, Chen Xiao, the Southern Liang Taishou, once built the Baiping Pavilion here, and Yan Zhenqing and the later great poet Du Mu both left footprints here. It can be seen that the history of clothing street spans thousands of years and has a strong human history.

From Huzhou Library, we can borrow local chronicles here. In Song Dynasty, Jiatai Wu Xingzhi recorded the clothing street. It was called Zhouzhi Street at that time. In the Ming Dynasty, it was called Fu Qian Street and Xiaoshi Street, while it was called Clothing Street in the middle of Qing Dynasty.

This was mainly because it had become the main block of Huzhou at that time, and all kinds of shops gathered on the street, especially more than a dozen clothing appraisal shops like Wang Ji and Jiujia. There are also some dowry shops, pharmacies and jewelry stores. There were even banks and pawn shops with Jiuqu Lane as the core, which became an important financial and commercial center in Huzhou at that time.

However, the prosperity of clothing street was destroyed in the subsequent war. At that time, most clothing appraisal shops did not exist, while money houses and pawn shops were buried in the torrent of history. In recent years, with the vigorous development of tourism, clothing street has regained its luster. The former clothing store here was gradually replaced by various gourmet snack bars, and gradually evolved into a unique business card in Huzhou, a food street worth punching in!

Food in Shang Yi Street and Alley Culture

Clothing street is not long, only a short distance of more than 300 meters, and it takes less than an hour to complete a circle. However, such a small ancient street has gathered all kinds of special snacks, local and foreign.

Besides snacks, the alley culture of Clothes Street is also a compliment. For example, Wupen Lane and Jin Po Lane are very suitable places to punch in and take photos, especially an alley called Louzan, which is even more impressive.

I asked the local people in Huzhou to understand the true meaning of this alley. It turns out that "lousy praise" means very good, and it is a local dialect in Huzhou, which foreigners can't understand. If there is a local explanation, it will be very interesting!

Shops and snacks on the main road of clothing street are more expensive, and there are also several snack bars in the alley, which are affordable, but they are all hidden in the water and can only be found by walking around. But the food here is also a must, and it is guaranteed to make you memorable!

Night tour clothing street, beautiful scenery gathered.

Clothing street is crowded during the day and lively at night. Every time I walk on this ancient street, I always feel that I have crossed the ancient times, and that taste is particularly unforgettable.

Occasionally, I can meet a few Hanfu young ladies who gather here to take photos, which is particularly eye-catching with several ancient buildings next to them. From the main street of Clothing Street, through the alley, you can reach the river beside the street.

The alley at night is really beautiful against the light, and the river ripples, which makes me feel pity. Whenever night falls, it is a rare experience to come to this bridge or lake with friends or lovers, such a poetic picture.

Come to the clothing street to play, all seasons are ok.

Clothing street is located in downtown area, with many business districts nearby and convenient accommodation, which can be played all year round. But it is not recommended to play during the day in summer, because Huzhou is still very hot in summer. Besides visiting the clothing street during the day, don't miss the beautiful scenery of the clothing street at night. It's best to spend a day near the clothing street and see that the day here is as beautiful as the night!

Huzhou is really a good place, with beautiful mountains, beautiful water and beautiful streets, which makes people particularly nostalgic. If you take a walk on the quaint street like Clothing Street in your spare time every day, you will feel very comfortable.

When you are tired of shopping, you can also enjoy the scenery of the snack street and taste all kinds of delicious food, which is particularly pleasant. Even taking a rest in the street, stopping by the river and taking a picture casually are all beautiful pictures, and it feels like traveling in a world of pictorial.
