(1) Shantang Old Street is located 50 meters northwest of the intersection of Beihao Lane in gusu district, Suzhou and Shantang Street in Suzhou?

Shantang Street is located in the northwest outside Changmen, the ancient city of Suzhou. It starts from Shoudu Heshang Bridge in the north of LULU Road in the east and reaches Xishanmiao Bridge in the southwest of Huqiu in the west. The measured street is 3829.6 meters long and 2~6.8 meters wide. In the old days, there were all stone roads to the east of Tongqiao.

(2) Shantang Old Street is 360 meters long, although it is only one tenth of Qili Shantang, but it is the essence of Shantang, and it is called "the epitome of old Suzhou and the window of Wu culture". The old street reproduces the prosperity of the mountain pond, with many shops and halls. There are Suzhou time-honored snacks such as Caizhizhai, Wufangzhai and Ganshengyuan. There are also specialty shops such as Wu Yun Tea House, Suzhou Taohuawu Woodblock New Year Pictures, rosewood woodcarving, stone carving and embroidery.

(3) Shantang Street is named after Shantang River. In the first year of Tang Bao calendar (825), the poet Bai Juyi was appointed as the secretariat of Suzhou. He dredged the Northwest River outside Suzhou and dug it into a straight river (from the moat outside Nagato to the foothills of Tiger Hill), which was called Shantang River, which was convenient for boating.

(4) Later, the excavated soil piled up into a long bank and became a wide road, which also went straight to Tiger Hill. At that time, Tiger Hill was called Wuqiu Temple, so the poet's pen was called Wuqiu Temple Road, and later it was called "Baigong Dike", and the Dike was called Seven Li Long, also known as Qilishan Pond. Because it is located between the downtown area of Nagato and the scenic Tiger Hill, it has gradually become a prosperous tourist commercial street.
