A Stroll around the Old Tea District: Dadaocheng

The scent of yesteryear still lingers in the air along Dadaocheng Wharf, once filled with the sails of ships carrying an endless procession of passengers, and GuiDe Street, where imported goods flowed in and always sold out in no time, and the little canal on Xining N. Road where cargo boats were once constantly in motion. Following the peddlers’ eager voices, it’s still a thrill to walk among the old tea merchant houses along Yanping N. Road, Chongqing N. Road, and Minsheng W. Road...
