When you come to Zhangjiajie, many people choose to see the mountains and water, but how can you only see the scenery when you come to Zhangjiajie? Today, I will recommend an old street with cultural performances, leisure experiences, sightseeing and shopping.

Xibu Old Street is a tourist and cultural street within the jurisdiction of Jundiping Street, where the Wulingyuan National Scenic Spot District Government is located. It is located on the banks of the Suoxi River and was restored from the ruins of the Tujia ancient city. The mysterious and distant natural landscape, ancient and rich folk customs, and unique and profound cultural heritage make the quaint and elegant Xibu Old Street stand out in the embrace of modern civilization.

Xibu, also known as Xilan Kapu in Tujia language, was a beautiful handmade brocade presented to the royal family by tusi kings a long time ago. This used to be an ancient Tujia city, and most of the things sold on the streets were Xibu, hence the name Xibu Street.

Xibu Street is 600 meters long and built along the Suoxi River. The high and low hanging buildings, the corner buildings with blue tiles and white windows, the clear stream running through the block, and the quaint street shops seem to be telling the story of the ancient city's past; And the dazzling neon lights, stylishly dressed men and women, streets full of delicious food and snacks, and even the various romantic bars seem to be continuing the life of the ancient city.

Xibu Street may not seem very long, but it takes a lot of time to fully explore it. It has a courtyard in the room, a street in the courtyard, and shops of all sizes covering the entire block. Here, you can enjoy red wine, listen to music, and feel the soft leisure time;

You can also watch Tujia dance, listen to Tujia songs, appreciate and purchase some local specialties such as brocade, Xiang embroidery, wax printing, silverware, etc., which have a strong charm of Xiangxi. The folk performing arts of Xibu Old Street are based on tradition, inheriting classics and blending innovation. The scenic area currently plans three major old opera attractions, including shadow puppetry, lantern opera, and Nuo opera, allowing tourists to relive old times and experience the charm of old art.

Xibu Old Street also has rich cultural programs with Tujia ethnic characteristics, such as the marriage of young girls, welcoming guests from chieftains, and praying for blessings from Tima. The scenic area aims to create the most concentrated, comprehensive, complete, and distinctive cultural experience.

On this old street, you may not have to think or do anything. Just stroll leisurely between the small bridge and flowing water, or sit by the clear stream or on a bench lost in thought, to feel the comfort and joy of doing whatever you want.
