Taohuawu Historic District
桃花坞历史街区·唐寅园
The poetic setting of Tang Yin's line “Peach Blossom Hermitage in Peach Blossom Village.” This old district in the northwest of the old city is home to Taohuawu woodblock New Year prints and Tang Yin's former residence.
Taohuawu lies in the northwest of Gusu District's old city, famous for the lines of poet Tang Yin (also known as Tang Bohu): “Peach Blossom Hermitage in Peach Blossom Village, and the immortals of peach blossoms within the hermitage.” The district centers on Taohuawu Street and includes the site of Tang Yin's former residence (Tang Yin Garden), the Taohuawu Woodblock New Year Print Museum and Taibo Temple. After recent restoration, cafes and creative shops have opened, and it draws fewer visitors than Pingjiang Road. Taohuawu woodblock prints are a national intangible cultural heritage, and you can try rubbing a print yourself. The district is free to visit and can be reached on foot from North Temple Pagoda and Shantang Street.
