This street, which epitomizes 19th century Russia, was created to add an exotic touch to the seaside city. Visitors can explore this 430-meter-long street on foot or on a jingling carriage. Numerous duty-free shops, supermarkets, antique stores and painting shops sell East European goods. For entertainment, Russian artists dazzle the crowds with their skills in acrobatics, ballet and love ballads. And as a culinary bonus the street is packed with Russian, American, Italian, French and Portuguese restaurants. Russian Street is about 1000 m north of the Zhongshan Square, and not far away from the Tianjin Street shopping circle.
