About Yongqing Fang

In Yongqing Fang, trade the straight line for the alleys. The neighborhood keeps traditional Xiguan houses and buildings with covered arcades, among craft shops, snack stalls and design stores. The renovation to welcome visitors has brought a lot of commerce to the scene.

The link to Cantonese opera shows up in the museum devoted to that art, where costumes and props help you understand the stage. Include the visit if access is available, or set aside the time to look at facades and eat.
