Why go
Qibao gives you a small-scale example of Jiangnan town life without leaving the municipality. The old street grew as a commercial center, and its northern and southern sections still encourage browsing and eating alongside the waterways. Tangtuan, the local glutinous rice balls, provide a specific food focus; the bridges and traditional shopfronts give the walk a clear physical setting.
What to look for
- Bridges spanning the waterways beside Qibao Old Street
- North-South Street’s traditional shopfronts
- Tangtuan glutinous rice balls associated with the town
Useful to know
- Keep the visit focused on the old street and waterways rather than the wider administrative town.
- Use Qibao station on Metro Line 9 as your arrival point.
