About this attraction
Why visit Academy Gate Pedestrian Street
Shuyuan Gate Pedestrian Street is a walkway free from vehicles and is infused with refined culture and learning. On the west side, Shuyuan Gate Pedestrian Street intersects with Xi’An City’s South Boulevard. The Stele Forest Museum is located 250 meters and three turns away from the east end of Shuyuanmen. The quaint cobblestones of the pedestrian street lead you down a path of history. Small shops line both sides of the road and sell calligraphy scrolls, painting, ink brushes, inksticks, calligraphy paper and ink stones. This artisan street is quite unlike other pedestrian shopping streets in China in that it is quiet and calm.
