Liulichang was reconstructed in 1984 and it adapted a Ching Dynasty architectural style. It is located on the southern side of Shinhwa Street, where there are many antique stores, bookstores, furniture stores and even handicraft and porcelain stores. Each store specializes in one item only. It used to be a place where used products were sold and where merchants gathered. After the Emperor Kangxi Ching Dynasty, it became a market for antiques, calligraphy products and paintings. People could buy art supplies at a very low price or they could see stores where their pictures were mounted. Liulichang has been loved by literary men for over 200 years, and many foreigners who love the Chinese culture visit this place. There is much construction going on at Liulichang Street.
