Zhengxing Street
正興街
An old street gathering young shop owners, known for its ice desserts, sweets and quirky shops, plus its mascot Zhengxing Cat, intersecting with Guohua Street.
Zhengxing Street is a very short old street in Central West District that intersects with Guohua Street. Since the 2010s, many young shop owners have moved in, converting old houses into ice shops, dessert shops, general stores and small restaurants. The district has even published its own small newspaper, and its mascot, the Zhengxing Cat, is very popular. Popular spots include an old shop famous for seasonal fruit ice and creative ice cream shops, which often have queues. Most shops open after noon, and some have fixed closing days on weekdays. It is ideal as a food-walk route together with Guohua Street, Yongle Market and Shennong Street.
Opening hours
Most shops 12:00–9:00 pm (varies by shop)
