What is the busiest street in Haimen?

Hello, my friend, welcome to Haimen Old Street. Haimen Old Street was originally named North Street, but it was renamed Zhongzheng Street after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War. After the founding of New China, it was renamed North Protestant Street. Many friends here ask, then why is it called "Haimen Old Street" now? Here are some short stories. Because the predecessor of this street was called Beixinjiao Street, many people suggested calling it Beixinjiao Street. However, it was later discovered that "Beixin" and "Unfortunately" are homophonic in Taizhou dialect, and many people don't like them. Jiaojiang River, formerly known as Haimen, is located at the mouth of Jiaojiang River. Xiao Yuan Mountain in the north of the Yangtze River confronts Niutoujing Mountain in the south of the Yangtze River, which is named after the mountain gate. Almost condensed the history of the old Haimen for hundreds of years, so finally this street was officially named: Haimen Old Street. Please look up at this arch. In the middle, the word "Haimen Old Street" was inscribed by Yao of Xiling Printing Society, which describes the ancient rhyme of Haimen Old Street. Ok, friends, if you cross this arch, please follow me slowly. Let's walk into the old Haimen and this antique century-old street. Haimen Old Street was built in Kangxi period of Qing Dynasty. After haimen port officially opened for trade in the 24th year of Guangxu, there were many shops and businessmen here, and the scene was prosperous. It was the political, economic and cultural center of Haimen at that time. Old Haimen people still remember the most prosperous market street in this street. Every market day, there are vendors on both sides of this road, and during the Spring Festival holiday, it is more colorful and lively. Due to the age, the buildings in the old street were gradually destroyed. 200 1, Jiaojiang District People's Government invested 80 million yuan for the protective development of the old street. The leaders visited Beijing, Shanghai, Hangzhou and other old streets successively, and invited Professor Changqing, who specializes in ancient architecture in Tongji University, Shanghai, to plan. He took twenty or thirty master's students and doctoral students to the old street, made a detailed physical examination like taking care of centenarians, and finally prescribed a prescription of "repairing the old as before". Like the buildings on both sides we see now, every piece of wood and decoration is installed as it is, except for replacement, which is very difficult and costly. The maintenance personnel take photos with the camera first, then record the original position of the removed things, and then clean them, pack them and save them. Designed and produced the characteristic number of Haimen Old Street, and then put it back. After four years of protective construction, Haimen Old Street was finally officially opened to the public on February 28th, 2005. This old street is 225 meters long from north to south, covering an area of 3 1 mu. It is antique, with white walls and gray tiles and carved columns of Zhu Chi. This old Haimen street, which has been condensed for more than a century, retains the features of different periods. If you look closely, you will find that the architectural styles on the north and south sides of our old street are different. The newly arrived South is basically Huizhou architecture in Ming and Qing Dynasties, followed by architecture in the Republic of China, and new China has joined the Cultural Revolution. Most of the northern buildings we saw in front are European-style buildings. It is said that the old Haimen people came to Shanghai to make a living and returned to Haimen after getting rich. They built European-style buildings according to the old Shanghai model, and the street business was booming, hence the name "little shanghai". This building with different styles in different periods endows Kanlao Street with distinctive characteristics of the times. If the old street used to be a bustling commercial street, now it is more like an art museum, an art museum that records the history and memory of a city. It is the best "medium" for everyone to enter Jiaojiang and understand Jiaojiang. It is also the best place for us Jiaojiang people to find past memories. Listen, the long song of Taizhou in the alley reminds you of the past story. Today's old street is trying to express a new era, new changes and new breath, leaving it for today, tomorrow and everyone who has been to Haimen Old Street with a permanent memory. )
