Jinan Taipingsi Street is a cultural tourism attraction.

Taipingsi Street is located inside the west gate of the old city, starting from the south at West Inner Street (now Quancheng Road) and extending north to connect with Xichenggen Street. It gets its name from the former Taiping Temple that once stood to the west of the street. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, as the adjacent Gaodusi Lane to the east was filled with money shops and note-issuing houses, this street became a gathering place for escort agencies. After the mid-20th century, most of the buildings on the street were residential homes. In 2002, with the widening of Quancheng Road, all but a few small courtyards on the street were demolished.
