The Style of Longdong Pedestrian Street

Compared with the general commercial pedestrian street, Longdong pedestrian street is rich in peasant characteristics. A huge bronze cow was placed at the entrance of the pedestrian street. Cattle struggle forward, symbolizing the indomitable spirit of farmers. The archway at the entrance is antique in design, because it is found that humans first lived in Longdong, Guangzhou, and there is a saying that "Longdong came first, then Guangzhou City". The plaque made of "big books" in the archway records this historical fact. People visiting Longdong Street in Tianhe are delighted to find that Longdong Commercial Pedestrian Street, like a miniature version of Wangfujing Street in Beijing, has been built and put into use. In the middle of the pedestrian street, there are sculptures related to agricultural production, such as ploughing tools, stone mills and oxen, and the shops with rural characteristics are mainly developed and sold to make the rural characteristics more prominent.

Walking into the pedestrian street, we can see that some typical life scenes in traditional rural areas have been selected, and some pavements have been built on both sides of the street, as well as shops selling various commodities. According to relevant sources, the ownership of both sides of the pedestrian street is different, and the east side is a private homestead, which is decorated by the street and rented out privately. The west is collective property, and the rent belongs to the collective. The facades of all shops are modeled after the architectural styles of Ming and Qing Dynasties, and cornices and advertising signs are standardized. Glazed tiles are installed on the facade of the building facing the street, showing your extravagance. The stone bench on the street is unique in shape, semi-circular, simple and elegant. This street is neatly paved with granite. In order not to affect the street landscape effect, sewage pipes pass through the ground, and there are several beautiful trash cans on both sides of the street to make the whole street clean. Overall, this street looks like a miniature version of Beijing's "Wangfujing Street".
