Known as "qilou," these rows of narrow buildings offer accommodation for residents on the upper floors, while the lower floors are devoted to shops. Cleverly, the overhanging arcade formed by these buildings provides shelter from the sun and rain for passers-by, as well as providing a front porch for shop owners and residents.
