Construction on Zhexi Ancient Street is on the verge of completion, with the official opening scheduled for New Year's Day.

Meticulously designed lights breathe life into the ancient street, accentuating its architectural beauty and historical significance.

Beyond its historical charm, the street will feature a diverse array of shops, restaurants, and cultural venues. Visitors will have the chance to indulge in local delicacies, peruse traditional crafts, and relish live performances showcasing the region's cultural traditions.
