Ancient Culture Street was relocated as part of the massive urban renewal Tianjin has seen in recent years. The new version is much larger, purpose built for convenient browsing & shopping. Shops & stalls provide all the traditional tourist Chinese knickknack icons of wood & metal (musical balls, kites, coins, metal bookmarks, papercuts &c.) as well as many modern versions such as electronic singing crickets & such. Also available are some of the items Tianjin is famous for such as painted clay figurines. Shops range from the those selling cheap & cheerful souvenirs through to the more elaborate dresses & artwork. The street also houses contemporary art & sculpture. Sorry, only photos I have are of the less representative street stalls & art courtyards. Not too far away is the rather strangely named "Da Hutong" (sort of = "Big small alley") permanent market, if you want shopping for contemporary items.
