Longtou Road
龙头路
Gulangyu's liveliest shopping street, packed with pancakes, fish balls, oyster omelets and all kinds of little shops. It's the place to stock up on snacks and grab a bite after landing on the island.
Longtou Road runs through the middle of Gulangyu, stretching from Piano Wharf into the heart of the island. It is the island's commercial center and connects with Quanzhou Road, Market Road, Huangyan Road and others. The street is lined with snacks such as oyster omelets, sha cha noodles, fish ball soup, pancakes and mango shaved ice, along with souvenir shops and famous spots like the long-established Zhangsanfeng Milk Tea shop. It gets crowded when visitors are many, and prices run high, so compare before you buy. Free to visit, and a convenient hub for exploring Gulangyu.
