The historic district of Zhoushan Island, where Ming and Qing old streets, Zuyin Temple and Siyan Well preserve the old look of an island city.
Dinghai is Zhoushan's old city. The historic district is structured around Zhongda Street, Dongda Street and Xida Street, and preserves late-Qing and early-Republican arcades, shopfronts and courtyard houses. Former residences of famous figures are scattered throughout, including the Lan Mansion and the former home of Liu Hongsheng. Zuyin Temple and the Imperial Calligraphy Tower are the city's key historic buildings. On the old streets you can taste Dinghai's Jintang plums, seafood noodles and traditional pastries, and during holidays there are displays of intangible cultural heritage. Free admission. Located in central Dinghai, about 30 minutes by car from Shenjiamen, it can be combined with the Opium War Memorial Park.
