Xibu Street
溪布街
A Tujia-style commercial street in Wulingyuan town, with stilt houses, snacks, and night views. It is a good place to go in the evening after touring the scenic areas.
Xibu Street is at Jundiping on the bank of the Suoxi River in Wulingyuan District. It is a pedestrian district built in the style of Tujia stilt houses, and 'Xibu' means 'street by the stream' in the Tujia language. The district runs along the river and offers Tujia snacks (sanxiaguo, kudzu-root noodles, and Tujia cured pork), guesthouses, bars, and craft shops. It is busiest after dark, once the lights come on, and Tujia song and dance performances are frequent. Entry is free, and eating and strolling take about 1 to 2 hours. It is about a 10-minute walk from the Wulingyuan Gate, which makes it a convenient evening stop after the main sights. It is quite commercialized, so compare prices before buying local specialties.
