In the history of the evolving process, the historical streets which were the originally vital spaces of commercial trade, and transactions for goods, attracted a lot of people to make a living along the streets. Because these areas developed in the early years in the cities, there were many aged, obsolete and damaged buildings. In addition to the changing times, the functions and forms of the historical streets were transferred with the development of society and industry. This study wants to know do these historical streets have the perception of authenticity for tourists. Thus, the study chooses three different kinds of historical streets to explore the differences in the perception of authenticity and landscape preference of the tourists.
