There are many shops selling Huangshan sesame cakes along Tunxi Old Street. I bought sesame cakes from two shops. One shop has a clean and tidy storefront, and the other one is this one.
There are so many brands at the door of the shop, and it can be seen that this shop is indeed excellent. I bought a few packs to try, and the taste is very good. Then I kept repurchasing on Taobao.
The environment looks like an unlicensed vendor, very ordinary. But the taste is good enough.
Of course, it is a popular shop in Tunxi Old Street. It has a good central location. The shop sells all kinds of Huangshan local specialties, not only sesame cakes, but also Wucheng tea dried cakes, Hui Mo Su, and stinky mandarin fish. They can also help you with express delivery.

[Stop calling it a "tourist street"! I stayed in Tunxi Old Street for 3 days and discovered 9 secrets even locals don't know!] 🏮✨ "When I pushed open the wooden door of the guesthouse at 5 a.m., and saw the 'rainy alley' described in Dai Wangshu's poem truly before my eyes—the bluestone slabs gleaming with a soft light, the soy milk shops steaming with rising vapor—at that moment I declared: This is the real Jiangnan!" It turns out that the daytime bustle is just its camouflage; Tunxi in the early morning and late at night is its true self, alive for 800 years.
📍 **Truth-shattering cards**
▫️Tunxi Old Street ≠ just one street! It's a maze composed of 1 main street, 3 side streets, and 18 alleys. ▫️Total length: 1272 meters (exactly the altitude of Huangshan Mountain)
▫️Hidden identity: China's best-preserved Southern Song, Ming, and Qing dynasty commercial street. ▫️Best time to visit: 7:00-9:00 (morning light wonder), after 21:00 (time travel).
🚶♂️ **Transportation Tips**
✔️High-speed rail to "Huangshan North Station" → Bus 21 directly to "Old Street First Road"
✔️Drive to "Binjiang West Road Parking Lot" (3-minute walk to the Old Street)
⚠️Fatal mistake: Never drive into the Old Street! The alleys are so narrow that your rearview mirror will scrape against the wall!🎯 **Time-Based Itinerary**
**🌅Early Morning Version (7:00-9:00)**
• Take photos of the "Treasure of the Town" archway at the entrance of the old street (no tourists in the background)
• Go to the "Tiger Stove" (a century-old teahouse) with locals to get hot water
• Watch the Dai Zhen Memorial Hall administrator sweep fallen leaves (free admission during peak season)
**☀️Daytime Version (10:00-17:00)**
• Experience the three intangible cultural heritage activities: Huizhou ink gilding, Shexian inkstone carving, and Xuan paper making.
• Find Master Li to carve your name seal at "Sanbai Yanzhai" (hidden in the second-floor studio).
• Learn from "Xie Yuda Tea House". Tea ceremony performance (free tasting of Huangshan Maofeng tea)
**🌙Evening Edition (7:00 PM - 10:00 PM)**
• Night cruise on the Xin'an River in a traditional rowing boat (the boatwoman will sing Huizhou folk songs)
• Listen to the third-generation successor of "Wang Yitiao Wonton" tell his grandfather's story • Find 9 light art installations (hidden around alley corners)
**🌌Late Night Edition (after 10:00 PM)**
• Drink osmanthus rice wine at an old tavern deep in the alley (a gathering place for local literary youth)
• Take photos of the shop doors after closing (a calligraphy exhibition of surnames)
• Listen to the night watchman's clapper (a night watchman's ritual passed down from the Song Dynasty)
🏨 **Accommodation Confidential Files**
✅Nostalgia lovers: Stay at "Huisha" (converted from a Ming Dynasty official's residence)
✅Photography enthusiasts: Choose "Linjiang Yilou" (Xin'an River view from the window)
✅Students: "Laojie International" youth hostel (stargazing from the rooftop)
⚠️Weekend room rates double! Recommended accommodation: Stay on the outskirts of the old street and walk in 🍜 **A Culinary Secret**
▪️ **Must-Try List**:
1. Xiu Sao's Tart Cake (the authentic filling is chives and tofu)
2. Lingshan Rice Wine (fermented with ancient well water)
3. Hairy Tofu (look for the "Fang Xin Yu" brand)
4. Stinky Mandarin Fish (the most authentic at "Lao Ma's Home Feast")
▪️ **Hidden Menu**:
• Ask the wonton shop for "Butterfly Noodles" (not listed on the menu)
• "Tea-Scented Chicken" on the second floor of the tea shop (reservations required 3 hours in advance)
📸 **Photogenic Secrets**
1. Composition at the "One Line Sky" at the alley entrance (with morning light)
2. Window frame of Wan Cui Lou Museum (borrowing scenery from the Xin'an River)
3. When the lanterns first light up at dusk (blue hour)
4. Photographing reflections on rainy days (the bluestone slabs become mirrors)
💡 **Things to Amaze Locals**
• Collect 9 stamps from time-honored brands (free stamp book available at the visitor center)
• Participate in the Wednesday Intangible Cultural Heritage Market (live demonstrations by artisans)
• Rent Hanfu and walk the "Huizhou Merchants' Road" (from the old street to the dock)
• Chat with street sweepers at dawn (they know all the legends)
🌟 **My Moment of Breakdown**
At the "Tongderen" pharmacy, a 90-year-old pharmacist pointed to the steelyard and said, "My family has used this to weigh medicine for five generations. Now my grandson uses an electronic scale." But he still wipes the scale beam clean every day—some traditions are more important than business.
📢 **Survival Guide**
• Wear flat shoes! (The stone slabs are uneven)
• Prepare small change (elderly vendors don't use mobile payments)
• Beware of "free samples" (potentially forced sales)
• Wear shoe covers on rainy days (slow drainage in alleyways)
Finally, I want to say: The most touching thing about Tunxi Old Street isn't the architecture, but the people who live under its eaves. When you receive the bowl from the grandma at the soy milk shop and hear her say "Be careful, it's hot!" in the distinctive Huizhou accent, you'll suddenly understand—this is the living Jiangnan. 🌿 #TunxiOldStreetHiddenGarden #HuizhouLiveliness #SouthernSongDynastyTravelGuide #IntangibleCulturalHeritageExperienceCeiling #MustVisitAncientTownsInHuangshan---

I came to this old wonton shop while walking along Tunxi Old Street. The wontons were fresh and delicious. The kudzu balls were amazing. The hairy tofu and stinky tofu were also good. They smelled stinky but tasted good. The only downside was that there were too few waiters. There were only two of them. They had to serve the wontons and clean the tables. They were a bit overwhelmed.
This wonton shop has a lot of advertising. It is said that it was featured in the TV program "Where is Dad?". I don't know if it became famous because of this. But the wontons don't seem to taste special, similar to Qianlixiang wontons. The price is three times that of Qianlixiang wontons. It costs 18 yuan for a bowl of small wontons. There are six steamed dumplings in total, and they cost 20 yuan per basket, and the taste is also average.

Verified user reviews
I really didn't expect that the fermented rice wine could be used in so many ways. I have to say it is very creative and looks good. The fermented rice wine has a strong flavor and tastes good.
I was on a business trip to Huangshan, and my boss gave me half a day to rest. I spent half a day strolling around Tunxi Old Street (finally in town!).
The old street wasn't too crowded, but the shops were quite commercialized! Many small shops required careful searching.
1️⃣ Post Office Coffee ☕️ Yingsong Coffee
Highly recommended online! Great for taking photos~ A good place to relax! They even give you a fridge magnet with your coffee ☕️! But the taste is just a regular latte. The little monkeys at the entrance are cute though 😍
2️⃣ Mutu Creative Store
Lots of cute fridge magnets! I bought a fish lantern~ but I accidentally broke its tail. Be careful, it's really fragile.
3️⃣ Jianzhong Lingshan Fermented Rice
I ordered red bean fermented rice with small glutinous rice balls! The fermented rice flavor was very rich! Sweet and sour~ The small glutinous rice balls were very chewy! I love it! 😘
4️⃣ Hairy Tofu
❌ I can't handle it!
5️⃣ Huangshan Maofeng Ice Cream
✅ Delicious! A light tea flavor 🍵 very refreshing.
6️⃣ Qimen Black Tea - Tianzhihong
I personally love black tea! This time in Huangshan, I went to the Tianzhihong store. In my opinion, a big brand like this can't be too bad!
The first brew of the one I bought was very fragrant! Not bitter at all~ I love it 😍 I must say, the sales guy at this store is great! He said I could try any variety! He didn't blindly recommend expensive ones~ He recommended based on my personal taste preferences.
In the evening, I also went to Liyang in Alley, which is more like a shopping mall 🤏 and more lively! There are many chain restaurants and milk tea shops! Suitable for eating~

When you are on a business trip in Huangshan, you will pass by a store called Jiaojia. The sesame cakes there are delicious, especially the freshly baked ones. The cumin sesame cakes and the small cakes with fruit fillings are the best. The strawberry and cantaloupe flavors are the best. The cumin ones, the salt and pepper ones, the salty ones, and the shortbreads are all very good. There is also a kind of hand-grabbed pancake, which is different from the hand-grabbed pancakes you eat outside. The hand-grabbed pancakes have a bit of salty taste, but they are still very, very delicious. I think it is especially recommended for its good quality and low price. The main reason is that it is very affordable. I especially recommend it.
This sesame cake shop is very famous in Huangshan, and it is said to have the best business. The freshly baked sesame cakes are so delicious. They are a little worse after they get cold, but they are still very good.
