Guanying Ancient Street
冠英古街
The best-preserved Qing-era residential lanes in Yibin's old town, with gray-tiled wooden houses and courtyard homes. After restoration, the street now has teahouses, snack shops and creative stores.
Guanying Ancient Street lies in the eastern part of Yibin's old town, between Daguan Tower and Hejiangmen. It is the most complete surviving Ming and Qing street in Yibin. Along both sides are courtyard houses, fire-proof walls and wooden residences from the Qing dynasty through the Republican era. Some of the mansions were once homes of historical figures. After restoration, the street now has teahouses, snack shops, guesthouses and creative stores, while still keeping the everyday feel of an old southern Sichuan town. The district is free to enter. Allow about an hour to explore. Walk a few minutes east to reach the Three Rivers confluence at Hejiangmen, so you can visit in the late afternoon and see the riverside at night.
