Highlights and Travel Tips

While West Street has a long history and some traditional Chinese architecture, it is mostly a commercialized pedestrian street that offers tons of shopping and dining options. It's easy to find both good Chinese and Western food here.

West Street is most lively and fun at night, when the street is decorated with beautiful lights and tourists and locals alike gather to eat, shop, drink, and more. There are also many street vendors selling small souvenirs and street food. However, do be aware that the street could become very crowded and noisy at night.

In the afternoon, West Street is much quieter and all the shops are open, making this an ideal time for those who just want to browse the shops and wish to avoid the evening crowds.
