Beihai Old Street is a street with a hundred years of history. The roads are lined with buildings on both sides. The carvings are exquisite, the lines are smooth, and the mottled walls seem to tell the vicissitudes of the past 100 years. It was once the most prosperous neighborhood in the North Sea.
Whether it is a FIT or a tour group, every visitor does not seem to miss the sight of Old Street. It is like a city sign in the North Sea, attracting many tourists to visit. You don't need to buy tickets to avoid the group tourists. It is recommended to come here every morning and evening, and you can listen to the old street quietly.
There are still many Aboriginal people living on this street. Their lives don't seem to be disturbed by the arrival of tourists. The old people who are swaying on the loungers, singing together, eating, chatting, playing cards Residents, etc., these can be the theme in the lens of photography enthusiasts, tourists regard them as scenery, they regard tourists as passengers.
Because the Vietnamese port in Beihai is close, so you can buy many Vietnamese specialties on this street. The price is not cheap, but it is also a good choice as a gift.
There are a lot of things to eat on the old street. Here, you can eat a variety of local delicacies such as spicy snails, shrimp cakes, pork feet and so on. Fortunately, there are not many shops lined up, the only Li Aunt shrimp cake. It was a long queue. Shrimp cake is one of the specialty snacks of Beihai. The delicious shrimp is wrapped in flour, served with seasoning, and tumbling in hot oil. It is crispy and crispy. Shrimp cakes must be eaten when they are hot, and they feel a little greasy when they are cold. The old street is not long, you can go shopping and take pictures. You can get it in up to 2 hours.

it was a beautiful street to visit as it has so much history. the old buildings were beautiful I just felt that it didn’t need to covered with so many commercial signs.
The architecture is well preserved, these buildings are real old mentions from past epoch! There era no newly made fakes! Pay attention to the walls, they still have some stickers or advertisement from that time! Actually, I had feeling I'm walking in Macau streets. Prices for food surprisingly cheap and do not differ from average city cost. Welcome to my Beihai!
Nice street with Chinese cafes and souvenir shops. But we liked it mostly for the buildings and flowers.
unique area of Beihai, lovely to walk down the okd streets. perfect spot to try various food amd drink as well as look for trinkets pr speak to locals. Very busy, but we were there during a Chinese holiday!
