Separated from Huguang Guild Hall only by a wall is Old Dongshuimen Street. As one of the four remaining gates of ancient Chongqing city that ever had seventeen gates, Dongshuimen used to be the main ferry for people to travel to and from the south bank of the Yangtze River and the main transportation hub leading to Yunnan and Guizhou.
