Show this to your driverWalk Zhaotong old town: Dou Street, the guildhalls and the Qing gates
Old town, Zhaoyang District
Silver mining made Zhaotong rich in the 18th century, and merchants from across China built guildhalls here. Start at Yuanmenkou, the crossroads in the middle, and walk Dou Street, a sloping street over 200 years old paved with stone slabs and lined with Republican-era arcades, then on to Yunxing Street and Beizheng Street. The Shaanxi Guildhall (1759) reopened in 2024 after restoration and is known for its stone carving. The Guangdong Guildhall (1756) is among the best-kept Lingnan-style buildings in northeast Yunnan.
What locals sayReviews split: people who come for old buildings like the guildhalls and stone lanes, while others find the main streets full of clothing shops.
