## About West Street (Xijie)

West Street is not large — just a 200-metre stone-paved pedestrian street — yet this small patch of land is world-famous. Foreigners are everywhere on West Street, offering plenty of chances to practise your English listening. It is best known for its bars, which are full of exotic flavour. Some feel it is too bustling and noisy, and that commercialisation has developed too rapidly; opinions on this naturally vary.

## Tips from the guidebook

- Huang Ji Corn Juice: West Street is home to the famous Huang Ji Corn Juice, served both cold and hot and much loved by visitors. Its rich, mellow fresh corn juice makes an ideal companion for a stroll along the street.
