Founded in the Qing Dynasty, Guanqian Street is a famous commercial street in Suzhou. Being one of the earliest pedestrian streets in China, Guanqian Street has been a busy street for more than a century. The Xuanmiao Temple which is a prominent Taoist temple with a long history is located along the street.

Guanqian Street is now not only a commercial street, but also a cultural and religious center with sound traffic network and infrastructure.
