Langjiabang Road

Langjiabang Road is a nostalgic alley in Hangzhou where time seems to slow down. Follow the aroma of sizzling 'Youtun'er' (fried dough) dipped in Longjing tea in the morning, or join locals chatting under plane trees with palm-leaf fans at dusk. Don't miss the century-old soy sauce shop's weathered signboard and a third-generation noodle joint serving 'Pian'er Chuan' - that soul-warming broth with pork cracklings and pickled veggies will transport you to old Hangzhou's golden era.
