Dihua Street to the Red House

From the first station to the final station; travel to and from your hotel is excluded.

Connect shophouse details with red-brick architecture and a simple lunch; expect substantial walking.

This route connects Dihua Street, The Red House and nearby streets.

Dihua Street

Choose a stretch of heritage street for shophouses, tea shops and dried-goods stores.

Station code: G13

Choose a stretch of Dihua Street and look above the merchandise at upper floors, signs and shopfronts. Tea and dried-goods businesses help explain the street as a working commercial space. If you want to buy tea, allow time to ask questions and make a choice.

Individual shops keep different hours and are not galleries with guaranteed access. Respect staff and customers at work and ask before photographing people. Food queues belong to the meal allowance; if shopping takes longer, shorten later browsing instead of rushing the street walk.

Suggested visit allowance: 55–70 minutes

Official visitor and transport information — Dihua Street

The Red House and nearby streets

Explore the brick building and neighbouring creative streets; check access before entering.

Station code: BL11

Start with the red-brick building itself, then explore surrounding streets and creative spaces. Compared with Bopiliao or Dihua Street, this stop offers another way to see historic architecture incorporated into contemporary shopping and neighbourhood life.

Indoor shops and events depend on the day’s programme; no particular market or performance is promised. Keep entrances clear when photographing. If continuing to Dihua Street, orient yourself toward Ximen station and keep station access separate from the sightseeing allowance.

Suggested visit allowance: 35–45 minutes
