The Cultural Heart: Opera, Teahouses, and Handcrafted Souvenirs

#hellohalloween
This 1.6-kilometer ancient street is a vibrant center for the arts and culture of the region. Visitors can immerse themselves in the traditional performing arts of Suzhou by visiting the Kunqu Opera Museum or catching a Pingtan (ballad singing in Suzhou dialect) performance at a riverside teahouse. Along the flagstone road, numerous shops house local artisans specializing in silk embroidery, hand-painted fans, and intricate calligraphy, offering high-quality, authentic souvenirs. Stopping for a cup of Biluochun tea while listening to the gentle plucking of a pipa (Chinese lute) provides a truly authentic and unforgettable cultural moment.
