A night view of Paifang Street.CHINA DAILY

An alley links Paifang Street with the Guangji Gate Tower, an ancient city gate, and Guangji Bridge, an old pontoon bridge dating to the Southern Song Dynasty (1127-1279). All are landmarks of the city that tourists try not to miss.

The street is lined with qilou (arcade buildings) dating back to the early 20th century, and 23 layered paifang. Although the existing paifang were restored between 2006 and 2009, they can still evoke memories of ancient Chaozhou glory in the keju, or imperial exams.
