## About Old Daowai District

One of China's largest 'Chinese Baroque' architectural districts. Within these Western-style old houses, which have weathered a century of change, you'll find Chinese-style courtyards, an architectural form uniquely created by Harbin residents. Old Daowai is home to many local eats, including Zhangfei Braised Meat (张飞扒肉), Fan's Dumplings (范记永饺子馆) and Hutong Laoguolao (胡同老锅烙), all worth trying.
