Cang Xiang Street is located in Anyang, Henan, with a length of over 500 meters from east to west. Originally known as Cang Men Kou Street due to its proximity to the county grain warehouse, it was later renamed Cang Xiang Street.
During the Ming and Qing dynasties, Cang Xiang Street was a hub for merchants and residents, with many wealthy business families, and was thus dubbed ‘Dragon and Phoenix Street’ alongside Tian Shui Jing Street.
