OLD TOWN
The old town is dissected by a web of arterylike canals that once brought the
city's drinking water from Yuquan Spring, in what is now Black Dragon Pool
Park. Several wells and pools are still in use around town (but hard to find).
The focus of the old town is the busy
Old Market Square
( Sifang Jie). The
view up the hill and the surrounding lanes is extraordinary. A must-see is
Zhongyi Market
( Zhongyi Shichang; 6am-5pm)
where locals sell produce,
copper items and livestock.
