It’s a must see but don’t go on weekends - Beautiful place with great views of the city. A lot of small lanes, tea houses, restaurants and alleyways. It’s best to go late afternoon as it’s also beautiful at night. Take time out to enjoy tea with the roasting of nuts and potatoes or trying some of the dumplings. A serving (tea and two plates of dumplings) for a family of 4 with late teens costed 150 yuan. Shibati is very close by so we did that as well. Shibati is also amazing at night.
