Yangshuo West Street 阳朔西街
Yangshou West Street is the oldest street in Yangshuo with a history spanning 1,400 years. Situated at the center of Yangshuo County, West Street has become, since the 1980's, a major tourist attraction, drawing visitors from all over the world. For that reason it has become known as the biggest “foreign language center” in China. Besides the local dialect of Yangshuo, English is widely used: don’t be surprised if you hear even the elderly speaking some English words! Nearly every store on the West Street has bilingual shop signs, and more than 20 stores have been opened by foreigners who have settled here.
Visiting West Street, you will be surrounded by a blend of traditional Chinese folk elements with modern international touches. Many souvenir shops, craft shops, painting and calligraphy stores, backpack shops, cafes, and Chinese Kung Fu academies jostle for your attention. You may find a multitude of items, from embroidered silk cloth and wax-painted weaving, to the tiny shoes once worn by women who had their feet bound in pre-revolutionary China.
