TianJin Trip: Gulou Shopping Street

Our first stop is the Gulou Shopping Street. Actually we planned to go to Shipin Jie (Food Street), but we got lost and ended up here. At the train station, the guy at the customer service booth told us that the 634 bus passes by the Food street. I'm not sure if we rode past it or the bus took a wrong turn but we didn't see the stop. We should've taken a cab...

There are lot of shops selling clay figurines. Perfect souvenirs for those going home. For us-no-annual-leave-left-can't-go-home-yet people, it's window shopping only...

The place is like a smaller version of Panjiayuan in Beijing. The street also has furniture shops, jewelry shops and other goodies. They even have gummy worms!
