Wuhu Old Town
芜湖古城
A rebuilt old quarter of Wuhu, with the County Government Watchtower, the City God Temple, Changhong Gate and bluestone lanes. Explore the historic sites by day and enjoy the night scene.
Wuhu Old Town lies on the south side of Jinghu District, on the north bank of the Qingyi River. It is the historic heart of Wuhu, with dense lanes and many guildhalls in the past. After recent conservation and reconstruction, the County Government Watchtower, the City God Temple, Changhong Gate, Rulin Street, Xiaojia Lane and other streets are open to visitors. Historic buildings alternate with new shops in the Huizhou style, offering snacks, cultural and creative goods, and tea. Admission to the district is free, and crowds grow once the lights come on in the evening. You can walk there from Jinghu Lake and the Zhongshan Road pedestrian street, and combine them into a half-day walking route through the old town.
