Liyang in Lane
黎阳in巷
A millennium-old street across the river from Tunxi Old Street, now a renovated district where Huizhou ancestral houses meet modern shops. Lights glow at night, reflecting beautifully on the Xin'an River.
Liyang Ancient Town is in Tunxi District, across the Heng River from Tunxi Old Street and connected to it by the Laodaqiao Bridge. Its history is even older than the old street. Since 2015 it has been renovated into the Liyang in Lane cultural district, which preserves Huizhou ancestral houses and halls and adds restaurants, bars, cafés, and creative shops. The lights come on at night and make it very photogenic. Admission is free. It is ideal for an evening stroll if you're staying in Tunxi: after exploring Tunxi Old Street, cross the Laodaqiao Bridge to get there. Nearby, many Huizhou restaurants serve stinky mandarin fish and mao tofu.
