Ciqikou (Porcelain Port)

Reviewed By 281KevinC - Bangkok, Thailand

Ciqikou is an old town which has now turned into a tourist spot. The street is full of shops lining at both sides selling all sorts of things from handicraft, souvenir, food to ear cleaning service. You can actually spend a whole day here if you are looking for things to shop. Just stop at each shop and savor the goodies sample, drink tea at some tea houses, pamper your ear by allowing the expert to clean it for you. Highly recommended for shoppers alike.
