The depth, antiquity, narrowness, and peculiarity of the ancient alleys in Zhujiajiao are truly indescribable. The ‘One Person Lane’ on West Lake Street is so narrow that it allows only one person to enter at a time, making it impossible for a thousand men to open; if two people enter, they must pass by sideways; and if three people enter, they are squeezed out of the lane. It contrasts with the ‘Cai Shen Lane’ on East Lake Street, where ‘high windfire walls rise, leaving only a sliver of blue sky overhead, with mottled blue bricks inside the lane, and the sound of moss-covered slabs echoing beneath one’s feet, creating a mysterious depth’.
One in the west and one in the east, one known for its narrowness and the other for its depth, they reflect each other’s uniqueness with a special charm. Open all year round, 24 hours a day, with specific business hours subject to the day’s opening status.One Person Lane
