Introduction to Huishan Zhi Street: Wuli Xiangchong was originally an avenue from Wuxi Ximen to Huishan. In 1976, the Wuxi section of the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal was rerouted, Wuli Xiangcheng was abandoned, and a section near Huishan was built as a boulevard, called Huishan Straight Street. The four characters "Wuli Xiangchong" are engraved on bricks on the front of the street entrance archway, written by Dou Chengzhuo in the late Qing Dynasty; the seal script "Nine Peaks and Cuizhang" on the reverse was written by Sun Hanchu of the eighth generation of Shaobao. The streets maintain old Jiangnan folk houses, and there are many shops selling Huishan clay figurines. There is the Huishan Clay Figurine Museum under the faucet, the Huishan Clay Figurine Factory on Baoshan Bridge, and the Zhangxun Temple on the street.
