Andong Old Street
安东老街
A nostalgic commercial street recreating the streetscapes of Andong, Dandong's former name, with local snacks, Korean-Chinese flavours and time-honoured shops; ideal for strolling and eating in the evening.
Andong Old Street lies in the Jinshan Avenue area of Zhenxing District, not far from Dandong Railway Station and Jinjiangshan Park. It takes its name from Andong, Dandong's former name. Its architecture is modelled on shopfronts of the 1920s and 1930s, with grey brick facades, signboards, an old-style tram and figure sculptures that recreate the city's bygone street life. The street is focused on food, offering dagao (glutinous rice cake), cold noodles, Korean-style mixed rice (bibimbap), yellow clams, deep-fried skewers and more. There are also nostalgic exhibitions and souvenir shops. The street is free to enter and open until about 10 p.m., with the busiest time at dinner. Some shops charge tourist prices, so ask about the price before you order.
