Featured Hotels Near Tieshi Alley

Step into Tie Shi Alley and you'll feel like entering a time capsule of old Changzhou! The blue-brick houses with gray tiles and weathered stone paths exude authentic local charm. Once a hub for blacksmith workshops (that's how it got its name meaning 'Iron Market Alley'), you can almost hear the clanging of hammers from history. The real gems? Hidden food stalls – try grandma's silky tofu pudding made with well water, or the legendary soup dumplings bursting with crab roe! Keep an eye out for dialect graffiti on the walls, they're perfect Instagram puzzles for your friends!
