Pingshan Old Street was established in the 18th century, where the Pingshan Old Market was located. Today, traditional southern Chinese arcade houses have been preserved and renovated along the street.

Once a bustling trading hub for the Hakka community, the street is now lined with shops selling traditional snacks, beverages, desserts, and more. It not only reflects the city’s development and the spirit of its people but also holds generations of nostalgia and memories.

During the Lantern Festival in 2025, vibrant qilin and lion dance troupes, along with the Chinese Trio of Gods symbolizing good fortune, prosperity, and longevity, paraded down the street, filling it with a lively and joyful festive atmosphere.
