When the tourists walk in the alley at dusk, the wisps of smoke rising from chimneys may show them an old-fashioned lifestyle that has been seen for a long time. It is romantic for lovers to make time to stroll there. Moreover, they can stop at a teahouse to have a chat if they feel tired, while enjoying the sunshine.

For Literary Atmosphere: Xiaotong Alley (小通巷)
Xiaotong Alley is considered to be the "original alley" by the media because it is a quiet place in the city where people can get close to nature. Unlike the busy Wide and Narrow Alleys, Xiaotong Alley is a simple, peaceful street that attracts hipsters to come.
With those old grey-colored buildings on each side, the flower man passing through slowly on his bike, Xiaotong Alley is an unattractive street at first sight, but it turns out to be a good place if you roam around, and it's amazing to find out that many special and delicate small shops are scattered there.
It is satisfying for lovers to stroll there on a fine day, holding hands, to relax in an elegant coffee house, or to shop around for some unique gifts for each other.
