Tunxi Old Street
A fishbone-shaped old street on the Xin'an River crystallized by Huizhou merchant mountain-goods wharfs — the starting line from which Huizhou's white silver was pumped outward along the Xin'an bus.
Residents stroll Tunxi’s red-flagstone street past brush shops and white-walled Huizhou houses beside a stone bridge.
