| Shuttle through Huitong Lane, trace the old Quanzhou business atmosphere.
Huitong Lane is located in the central area of Quanzhou ancient city, one end is connected to West Street, the other end goes straight to Huaxiang, intersecting with Tongzheng Lane in the middle, and the left and right sides are Haogou Yan and Luozhu Lane respectively.
The approximately 400-meter-long Huitong Lane was a gathering place for commerce and trade during the Song and Yuan dynasties, and the name of the lane itself means 'meeting and dredging'.
Today's Huitong Lane, near the Suqingmen Square, is still a bustling place for merchants. In addition to the cultural and creative market, it also gathers guesthouses, snack shops, experience halls and other cultural and tourism formats.
There are several good guesthouses in Huitong Lane, such as Xijie Xingshe, Suqingmen Guesthouse, Shangqinglou Qing Dynasty Courtyard Guesthouse, Liyunju Guesthouse, etc., with superior geographical location, it is an excellent choice for tourists in Quanzhou.
The snack shops in Huitong Lane are concentrated on the side of Suqingmen Square, but they are not all local snacks in Quanzhou, but also snacks from other provinces and cities.
If you want to experience hairpin headdresses, there are shops in Huitong Lane that provide services.
The section of Huitong Lane near Huaxiang is relatively quiet, the lane is narrow, and the historical temples, archways, and ancient wells are now hard to find, and the current buildings in the lane are mostly residential.
