This food street is the business card of Huzhou. It is close to the bustling city and full of ancient charm. It is also a paradise for foodies. There is such a food street in Wuxing District, Huzhou, next to Aishan Square, but it has a history of thousands of years.

If you are traveling to Huzhou, don’t miss such a great place with beautiful scenery, delicious snacks, and beautiful ancient architecture. It is the Yishang Street, a quiet place amidst the bustle!

The Misunderstood Food Street When talking about Clothing Street, outsiders may think that this is a street market selling clothes. Like other cities, Clothing Street is where locals buy clothes.

But what is disappointing is that there are basically no shops selling clothes in today's Clothes Street. Instead, there are a variety of snack bars.

Yishang Street and the downtown area of ??Aishan Plaza are only separated by a road. They are located in a bustling commercial district and are very lively during the day and night.

Therefore, if you come to Clothes Street to buy clothes just by hearing the name, you will definitely get laughed out of your mouth.

Coming here to eat all kinds of local delicacies will really make tourists linger and leave a lingering taste in their mouths.

In fact, before Clothes Street became a snack street, it was indeed closely related to selling clothes. However, the current Clothes Street has gone through thousands of years of wind and rain and has long been different from its original appearance.

What is the reason for this?

From Commercial Street to Snack Street It is unreasonable to say that Clothes Street has some connection with selling clothes. It was named after many clothing appraisal shops. Although it has changed over the years, the name of Clothes Street has remained unchanged. This is a matter of history.

.

As early as the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Xie An, Taishou of Wuxing, lived here. Xiao Chen, the prefect of Liang Wuxing in the Southern Dynasty, built the White Ping Pavilion here. Yan Zhenqing of the Tang Dynasty and the later great poet Du Mu all left their footprints here.

It can be seen that the history of Yishang Street spans thousands of years and has a strong cultural history.

From the Huzhou Library, we can borrow local chronicles here.

There are records about Yishang Street in "Jiatai Wu Xingzhi" of the Song Dynasty. At that time, it was called Zhouzhi Street. In the Ming Dynasty, the names were changed to Fuqian Street and Xiaoshi Street. The name of Yishang Street was

In the middle of Qing Dynasty.

Mainly because this place had become the main neighborhood in Huzhou at that time, and various shops were clustered on the street, especially when more than ten clothing appraisal shops such as Wangji and Jiujia were famous.

There were also some dowry shops, pharmacies, banks, etc., as well as banks, pawnshops, etc., with Jiuqu Alley as the core, which became a relatively important financial and commercial center in Huzhou at that time.

However, all the prosperity of Clothes Street was destroyed in the war that followed. Most of the clothing appraisal shops at that time did not exist, and the banks and pawn shops were even buried in the torrent of history.

With the booming development of tourism in recent years, Clothes Street has regained its splendor. The former clothing shops here have gradually been replaced by various food and snack bars, and have slowly evolved into Huzhou's unique business card, a food street worth visiting!

The food and alley culture of Yishang Street Yishang Street is not long, only about 300 meters long, and it takes no more than an hour to complete a tour.

But in such a small ancient street, there are all kinds of special snacks, both local and foreign.

In addition to snacks, the alley culture of Yishang Street is also amazing.

Places such as Wupen Alley and Jinpo Alley are very suitable for checking in and taking photos, especially an alley named "Lanzan", which is even more impressive.

Only after asking locals in Huzhou did I understand the true meaning of this alley.

It turns out that "bad praise" means very good. It is a local Huzhou dialect that outsiders cannot understand.

It would definitely be interesting if there were explanations from local people!

The snacks in the shops on the main road of Yishang Street are more expensive, but there are also several snack bars in the alleys with affordable prices, but they are hidden near the water and you can only find them after wandering around.

But the food here is also one of a kind, guaranteed to leave you with endless aftertaste!

Occasionally, you can meet a few ladies in Hanfu who gather to take pictures here. It contrasts well with several ancient buildings nearby, which is particularly eye-catching.

From the main street of Yishang Street, through the small alley, you can reach the river next to the street.

The alleys at night are really beautiful when illuminated by lights, and the ripples on the river make me feel pity for them.

Whenever night falls, it is a rare experience to come to this bridge or lakeside to relax with friends or loved ones. Such a poetic picture is a rare experience.

You can visit Yishang Street in all seasons. Yishang Street is located in a busy city with many business districts nearby. Accommodation is also convenient, so you can visit it in all seasons.
