Silk Street

9. Xiushui Street

China, the only world-famous market, is listed on the world tourism map. In the eyes of foreign tourists, Xiushui Street is a must-see place with the same reputation as the Great Wall, the Forbidden City and Beijing Roast Duck.

She wove the riverside scene on Qingming Festival with the silk of reform and opening up. More than 20 years ago, a group of young people full of hope for the future set up a simple pavement in Xiushui East Street, Beijing, and used the superior position adjacent to the embassy district to deal in silk and foreign trade clothing. At this time, although she is childish, it is difficult to hide her natural beauty, and her gestures are like everyone's demeanor.

Fame spread like wildfire, and more and more people patronize and favor it. Gradually, she felt overwhelmed and a little tired-Xiushui Street was too famous, the passenger flow was too concentrated, and the reception capacity was overwhelmed. She needs rest and rebirth. As a result, the new Xiushui Street came into being.

Xiushui street introduction

Take Beijing Subway 1 Line and get off at Yong 'anli Station to reach Xiushui Street. This China commodity market, which can be found on many world-wide tourist maps, was once ridiculed as "the only world-famous market in China". "Climb the Great Wall, visit the Forbidden City, eat roast duck and swim in Xiushui". Together with the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, roast duck and other "symbols of Beijing", Xiushui Street in Beijing has become a landmark for many domestic and foreign tourists to visit Beijing.

Xiushui Street Market, founded in 1980, was just a few shops scattered in embassies and diplomatic apartments. At that time, there were not many residents nearby and the consumer market was not optimistic. Who would have thought that ten years later, it has become a "folk trade center" for overseas tourists to watch and shop, and even some economists call it "the Riverside Map on Qingming Festival in 2 1 century cut out by scissors of reform and opening up".

Fashionable goods, unique geographical location, "bargaining" operation mode, and the exchange of various dialects. In any case, Xiushui has established an irreplaceable position, which is the confluence of brand, fashion and multi-culture.

On June 6, 2005, at 65438, the old Xiushui market was closed for renovation. On March 19, the new "Xiushui Street" officially opened, bidding farewell to the weather-beaten business environment of the old "Xiushui Market" and continuing the myth of "Xiushui" in buildings. The new "Xiushui Street" is actually a department store with a building area of 28,000 square meters and 1500 stalls, which can provide shelter for merchants.

The stall owner gestured in English and bargained with foreign businessmen with a calculator. Although there is no traffic on the street stalls in the open air, there is still a momentum of "merchants gathering and bustling". "Xinxiushui" maintains the shopping street form of the old market, with more specialty goods and longer shopping time. The famous Xiushui Street is still well preserved. Small handicraft stalls of less than 5 square meters can bring a lot of income every day. Many foreign VIPs come here with their wives to see the "Xiushui" customs.

In the past, Xiushui attracted overseas tourists with its highly simulated "famous brand". Xiushui is changing now. "Xiushui in culture, Xiushui in fashion, Xiushui in brand and Xiushui in innovation" are the images that the new "Xiushui Street" is building.

In the new "Xiushui Street", you can buy authentic clothes in the "boutique corridor"; You can also find fashionable foreign trade orders. In addition, the new "Xiushui Street" is already the densest market of China's time-honored brands: Quanjude, Ruifuxiang, Tongrentang, Qianxiangyi, Inline Rising and Shengxifu all have a place here.

From famous brand clothing, handicrafts, pearl silk, antiques and other China specialties to Beijing roast duck restaurant, western-style coffee shop, fast food restaurant and convenience supermarket, this is the "Xiushui Street" in Beijing.
