Yongning Old Street

　　   Yongning Old Street is a renowned historical and cultural street in China. Established during the early Ming Dynasty with the setting up of Yongning Wei, Yongning Old Street served as the central axis of Yongning Wei City. By the late Qing Dynasty and early Republican era, it had transformed into a bustling commercial street, home to many legendary businesses. Although history has moved on and few people today know much about Yongning, visiting this place reveals just how thriving it once was. During the day, you can stroll down the old street, browsing the small, scattered shops and admiring the exquisitely carved foreign-style buildings. At night, the soulful melodies of Nanyin music drift through the air from the street, pleasing to the ear and moving to the heart. It’s as if you’ve traveled back to the Republican era, reliving that time within the old street. It’s an exceptionally tranquil old street.
