Shangshui Street
Shangshui Street, a cultural and gourmet street in Guilin showcasing local folklore, is known as the “Kuanzhai Alley” of Guilin. Located in the bustling commercial center of Guilin city, it sits right next to the internationally renowned Sheraton Hotel, just a hundred meters from the Li River and Guilin’s iconic Elephant Trunk Hill. To the north are the Ming-era Prince Jingjiang’s Palace and Solitary Beauty Peak, while to the west is Guilin’s most vibrant Zhengyang Pedestrian Street—offering visitors a chance to relax, explore history, and enjoy world-class cuisine.
Shangshui Street is characterized by the traditional architectural style of northern Guangxi. A scenic waterway winds slowly along the front of the shops, creating a charming small-bridge-and-flowing-water ambiance. The captivating architecture of northern Guangxi, the soothing sound of flowing water, and the colorful lighting design offer both locals and tourists a comfortable and atmospheric place to savor delicious food.
Shangshui Gourmet Street brings together hundreds of cuisines from around the world. There are Western pastries and coffee for those seeking a leisurely lifestyle, Korean cuisine from the land of Dae Jang Geum, exotic Indian restaurants, and famous snacks from all over China—each offering flavors that make it easy to lose track of time while indulging in the culinary delights.
