Kuanzhaixiangzi are two parallel alleys - Kuangxiangzi Alley and Zhaixiangzi Alley - located towards the east of the city centre.

Kuangxiangzi Alley - Wide Alley - was also known as Xinren Hotong and presently focuses on tourism, offering numerous eateries, teahouses, accommodation options and museums for travellers. Zhaixiangzi Alley on the other hand focuses on business, and visitors to Zhaixiangzi Alley will discover a wealth of western food options, coffee houses and fast food stops.
