Kuliang Old Street

Reviewed By visitf2017

I went to Kuliang again with my family to escape from the downtown summer heat not long ago. We were guided by the clear signboards all the way along towards Kuliang Scenic Zone after we had driven onto Sanhuan. We parked our car on the parking lot of Cryptomeria Cypress King Park and walked towards Kuliang Old Street which started at Yingyuehu Park and ended at Li Shijia's Villa in a total length of 800m and width of 2.5m-2.6m. It passed many historic buildings, including Kuliang Old Post Office, Wanguo Charity Association, Yangren Swimming Pool and Li Shijia's Villa. The old street had many noteworthy attractions: [Kuliang Old Post Office] Opened in 1902, Kuliang Old Post Office is one of the five famous "summer post offices" of China. It was open after the Dragon-boat Festival and closed after August 15 on the lunar calendar each year. Today, it is not just a tourist attraction because its role as a "post office" is resumed to affix a Kuliang seal for tourists and sell post cards to them. [Wanguo Charity Association] Wanguo Charity Association used to be a rendezvous for foreigners and the only old building with a basement in Kuliang. You can also visit Kuliang Cultural Musuem here.
