From Tunxi bus station, take bus to Hongcun (18rmb) 90m. Interval every hour.

Check bus timing here.

I am lucky, got it at 52rmb on that day due to their holiday special rate.

The driver dropped me at the entrance of Tunxi old street (屯溪老街).

This is the bridge towards Liyang old street (黎阳老街).

Bought a brush for mum and forgot to negotiate, 150rmb...
And chrysanthemum (皇菊) for 80rmb

Ancient Town Youth Hostel (40rmb pn)

I can officially announced this is the worst hostel I ever stayed.

Graffiti everywhere, burnt curtain. Bed bugs

Smelly and broken toilet.

Bathroom

From Tunxi, walk about 10mins to Liyang street.

Liyang seems to be a less crowded street, more upper range and modern.

There are more drinking place here.

Back to Tunxi

老妈土菜馆

This is another favourite of this trip.

Total damage: 147rmb

I am lucky again to get this soup at 50% off, 49rmb.

This is a very big serving enough for 4 pax. I struggled and can only finish half of the soup hahaa. Very tasty and tons of nutrients..

The fish is very fresh and they did it so well!

Fried salty fish with soy beans braised with the fish.
