About Xietanglao Street

Step back in time along Xietanglao Street, a beautifully preserved ancient water town where Ming and Qing dynasty architecture lines serene canals. Glide through historic waterways on a traditional cruise and immerse yourself in the timeless charm of Anhui's cultural heritage.

Local Legends & Stories

Xietanglao Street dates back over 800 years and was once a bustling trade hub for merchants traveling along Anhui's ancient waterways. Local folklore speaks of scholars and poets who found inspiration along these canals during the Ming and Qing dynasties.

Must Do Experiences
