★★★★☆ Shopping & dining
No admission charge for anyone. Parking or transport may still cost.
A lantern-lit alley one person wide running beside the river, with restaurants on both sides. Free to walk. In summer they build wooden platforms out over the water - kawayuka - and eating on one is the thing to do, at a price. Many places have an English menu; some still decline visitors without an introduction.
