Nanyingzi Street
南营子大街
A pedestrian shopping street in central Chengde, once the commercial heart of Rehe in the Qing dynasty. It's now packed with local snacks such as bo yu mian noodles, heluo noodles and lamb soup.
Nanyingzi Street lies south of the Lizheng Gate of the Mountain Resort. In the Qing dynasty, it was the commercial street outside the Rehe Imperial Palace. Today it is a pedestrian shopping street in the city centre. Its ancient-style buildings house long-established shops, local specialty stores and snack stalls. You can buy Chengde Lulu, almond and hawthorn cakes as souvenirs. The nearby Erxianju area is also a popular place for breakfast. The street is open all day, and it becomes livelier once the lights come on in the evening. It's about a 10-minute walk from the Lizheng Gate of the Mountain Resort.
