Zhexi Old Street
赭溪老街
The old street of Tiantai's ancient town, built along the Zhexi Stream and reopened in 2024; Tang-Song style architecture, snacks and night performances make it a county-town nightlife landmark.
The ancient town of Tiantai was first built during the Three Kingdoms period. The Zhexi Stream runs through it, and it has been a commercial center since the Tang and Song dynasties. After several years of renewal, the Zhexi historic district reopened on New Year's Day 2024. White-walled, gray-tiled buildings in Tang-Song style line the stream, offering Tiantai snacks, cultural and creative goods, intangible cultural heritage handicrafts and evening performances. Visitors can try on Hanfu for photos. Entry is free, and the lights are most beautiful in the evening. Nearby old buildings include the Tiantai Confucius Temple and the Miaoshan Flower Building.
