Special features:
Chenggong Road and Qingchao Street used to be a part of First Market. After the fire in First Market, it was rebuilt as First Square. Qingchao Street remains unchanged. The lane is still narrow and in chaos, not corresponding to rebuilt First Square. There are 7 green grass stores in Lane 90, Chenggong Road selling green grass herbal medicine and tea. They actually belong to Hangqiang Grass Store (3) and A-lang Green Grass Store (3 stores) and another grass store. On No. 47 Guangfu Road is A-xiang Green Grass Shop. In Lane 175, Luchang West Street, there is Qingang Green Grass Shop. Green grass shops not only sell green grass but also refine green grass tea, gourd tea, liver-nutrition tea, roselle tea, glossy ganoderma tea, and Matrimony vine tea, etc. The shop proprietors are not Chinese herbal medicine physicians but they do not a lot of folk prescriptions. Although they can’t run formal medicine business, they satisfy a lot of customers taking herb medicine.
