The iconic red lantern reflections in the Tuojiang River are most beautiful at dusk when the stilted houses (吊脚楼) light up. Cross the Hongqiao bridge at night and walk downstream along the south bank — you'll find the quieter riverside away from souvenir stalls. The old town walls at Dongmen Gate are free to climb and give the best view of the jumbled roofscape.
Tip 18–20% at restaurants. Walk fast on sidewalks — stay right, pass left.
