I went to this old street that is still half a construction site, and here's my honest review.

📍It's Sijing Ancient Town ➡️Current status: Still under renovation... 👍Pros: Few people, quiet, many exhibition halls are almost empty 🙃Cons: Not many places to visit, you can finish the tour in 1–2 hours 📸Main attractions: 🔸Yuechu Youli⭐⭐⭐: A cultural and creative store at the entrance of the street 🔸Anfang Tower⭐⭐⭐: A landmark building in Sijing, just a tower, always in the photos. 🔸Yueqi Huaming⭐⭐⭐⭐: A tea house with an ancient style 🔸Nancun Yingxue⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐: Xinhua Bookstore in an old house, with cultural and creative products, coffee, few people, and good for photos 🔸Yichi Garden (Baolun Hall)⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐: The only place on the old street with a few more people. The old house was built in the mid-Qing Dynasty by Wang Baolin, a wealthy merchant in Sijing, commonly known as (Wang Family Hall), with a history of more than 300 years. The house is large, with east and west axes, several courtyards, and a second floor, like a maze. I came here at noon on the weekend, and it was not full at all, a Yichi Garden with few people. 🔸Ma Xiangbo's Former Residence⭐⭐⭐⭐: A traditional courtyard-style building with five courtyards, four courtyards, and one corridor, facing south, introducing Mr. Ma's life, and there is a passage on the east side connecting the front and back halls. 🔸Futianjing Temple⭐⭐⭐: A small temple with few people 🔸Shi Liangcai's Former Residence⭐⭐⭐⭐: The general manager of Shenbao, a newspaper tycoon, the old house has three courtyards, combining Chinese and Western styles. Next to the old house is a modern building: Shenbao Cultural Space, with coffee on the first floor and a small exhibition introducing old buildings on the second floor, with no one... The building is in the style of fair-faced concrete, contrasting with the Chinese-style old house next door. 🗺️Tour route: All on one street, from west to east in the order above ☕Food and drinks: 🔸There are quite a few coffee, milk tea, and tea houses 🔸Yuxingji, Sixiaolong Mantou Shop, Ancient Town Zongzi Shop 🚖Transportation: 🚇Take Metro Line 9 to Sijing Station, then ride a bike for 2–3 km Sijing Ancient Town
