Beiguan Historic District
北关历史文化街区
An old city district with Ming and Qing merchant guild halls and historic streets, linking Huaxilou, the Nanjing Lane money house and Baibu Street into a walking route.
Beiguan once gathered commercial guild halls from more than ten provinces across China. Nearly 20 old streets survive, including Huaxilou, the Nanjing Lane Qianzhuang, Jiangning Guild Hall, Baibu Street, Datong Alley and Pazi Alley. They preserve the street layout of the Ming and Qing dynasties, making it one of the few intact old-town districts on the Huaibei Plain. You can eat beef flatbread, Ganku noodles and other Bozhou snacks on the old streets, and buy herbal teas and botanicals. The district is free to enter, though the major heritage buildings charge admission. Allow half a day for walking. Parking is inconvenient, so taking a taxi is recommended.
