Murong Street
慕容街
A faux-antique pedestrian street linking the North and South Pagodas, named after the Murong Xianbei of the Three Yan states. It offers snacks, cultural goods, and night views.
Murong Street is a retro-style commercial pedestrian street in the heart of Chaoyang's old town, running from the North Pagoda in the north to the South Pagoda in the south. Its name honors the Murong family of the Xianbei, who founded the Former Yan and Later Yan states. Buildings on both sides imitate Liao and Jin architectural styles, and the street is lined with local snacks such as lamb soup, barbecue, and Chaoyang millet, along with cultural and craft shops. It is busiest at night, when the lanterns are lit. Admission is free. It works well as a walking link between the Twin Pagodas and Youshun Temple, taking about 20 to 30 minutes end to end.
