Dongmen Old Street
东门老街
Shenzhen's oldest commercial street, known for affordable shopping and food, and preserving historic buildings such as Siyue Academy and the old clock tower.
Dongmen Old Street is located in Luohu District, on the site of the old Shenzhen Market, which has centuries of market history. After reform and opening-up it became Shenzhen's busiest pedestrian shopping district, with affordable clothing, shoes and bags, and a rich selection of snack food. The district still preserves historic elements such as Siyue Academy, the old clock tower and Dongmenting. Entry is free. Metro Line 1 (Old Street Station) and Line 3 (Shaibu Station) go directly there. Crowds are huge on holidays, so keep an eye on your belongings.
