Zhengyang Pedestrian Street is one of Guilin's most beloved shopping streets — a historic pedestrian way at the foot of Solitary Beauty Peak, lined with shops, food stalls, and old buildings.
Zhengyang Street has been a commercial center of Guilin for over a century. Today it's a lively pedestrian street preserving much of its historic character, overlooked by the dramatic Solitary Beauty Peak.
The street offers a mix of clothing stores, handicraft shops, and souvenir sellers. It's a good place to browse for local products and gifts.
Zhengyang is famous for its street food — Guilin rice noodles, sugar paintings, and local snacks. The side alleys hide traditional restaurants and teahouses.
The street runs along the base of Solitary Beauty Peak (Duxiu Feng), a striking limestone pillar in the heart of the city. The peak is the emblem of Guilin and can be climbed for panoramic views.
Zhengyang Pedestrian Street is in central Guilin, a short walk from Central Square and the Li River.
The street is best enjoyed in the late afternoon and evening, when the shops and food stalls are at their liveliest. Bargaining is common at the smaller stalls.
