Shangxiajiu Pedestrian Street

Shangxiajiu Pedestrian Street is located in Shangjiu Road, Xiajiu Road and Shifu Road, Liwan District, Guangzhou. It is one of the three traditional bustling commercial centers in Guangzhou and enjoys a good reputation at home and abroad. The total length is about 12 18 meters (only Xiajiu Road and Shifu Road are 833 meters open), with 238 commercial shops and thousands of merchants. In the long history, the four characteristics of Xiguan customs have gradually formed. In today's commercial pedestrian street, a unique and colorful Xiguan customs painting has been constructed by combining Chinese and Western styles. Create a beautiful tourist landscape.

First, a long business culture.

As early as the 1920s, this area has become a commercial gathering area, and Indian monk Dharma landed to give a lecture, hence the name "from the west, new here". During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, with the establishment of Huaiyuan Post (south of Xiajiu Road) to receive foreign envoys and merchants, and the opening of Daguan River, the thirteenth line became an important port for Guangzhou's foreign trade, and its commerce and trade became increasingly prosperous. Merchants from all over the world once gathered and became the largest trade distribution center in Guangzhou. Later, the thirteenth line was destroyed by fire, and merchants gradually moved into Shangjiu Road and Xiajiu Road. By the end of Qing Dynasty, this place was the most prosperous, and it was an important window for Guangzhou to trade with the whole country and at home and abroad.

At the same time, with the growing commercial atmosphere of Shangjiu Road and Xiajiu Road, a number of related professional markets have been derived from the surrounding areas. More than a hundred years have passed, and we can still find some historical traces, and now it has developed into an important commercial network in our region. There is a paper wholesale market in the east and a sewing machine professional market in Guangfu Middle Road. Guangfu south road cloth market; Xiang Yang Road Cloth Market; Dexing road clothing ingredients market; In the south, there are the famous "Guyi Street" clothing market in Thirteen Alleys, the cloth market in Shibafu Road, the national famous Huangsha agricultural and sideline products market, and the Qingping Chinese herbal medicine market. To the west are the century-old shops of Shifu Road (now the pedestrian street)-Taotaoju, Lianxianglou, and many restaurants. In the north, there are changshou road barber supplies professional market, gold industry, gold and silver jewelry industry; Zheng Xilai Street Jade Market and Suanzhi Furniture Street with a long history; Sheng Yuan Street "Antique Street" and so on. , forming a huge commercial network with a vertical and horizontal area of nearly 2.5 square kilometers, bringing together all kinds of goods to meet the needs of different types of merchants and citizens.

Second, the unique architectural culture

Traditional Xiguan dwellings include xiguan big house, arcade and bamboo house. The arcade on the pedestrian street stretches for thousands of meters. It was built in the Qing Dynasty. It is a practical and beautiful architectural corridor, which not only absorbs the architectural features of southern Europe and the Manchu decoration in northern China, but also retains the traditional architectural style of Xiguan, adapting to the hot and rainy climate in the south, allowing businesses and customers to conduct business activities in any weather environment, attracting countless tourists at home and abroad. There are hundreds of thousands of people flowing today.

Third, strong Xiguan folk culture.

When people shop in the pedestrian street, they can take it as the center and enjoy the Hualin Temple, Wu Yanjing, Wenta, xiguan big house Reserve, Chenjia Temple, Ren Wei Temple and Shamian European style area with Xiguan style. Almost every street and lane on the pedestrian street has beautiful legends and profound historical origins. The following nine roads still have "Wen Lan Lane", which proves the history that thirteen wealthy businessmen founded "Wen Lan Academy". There is still an old house "Lingnan Art Garden" run by Lingnan painting masters in Zhanluzhi Street, Shifu Road. Taotaoju is a gathering place for Cantonese opera artists in history. It was once famous for "Xiguan Ancient (Story) Altar" and Frost Garden Painting and Calligraphy Exhibition. People here like to sing Cantonese opera "Private House Bureau", which is also very famous. The Liwan Yayuan Painting and Calligraphy Exhibition Hall of the City Bookstore, and the Ping An Theater where Cantonese Opera is staged, are even more cultural oases on this pedestrian street.

Fourth, unique food culture.

There are dozens of restaurants in the pedestrian street, including Taotaoju, a century-old shop, and Guangzhou Restaurant, a "national first-class restaurant". There are also a number of shops that operate "Xiguan famous snacks", such as Nanxin dessert shop, Ou noodle shop and Xiguan family. Every Mid-Autumn Festival, there are also famous traditional pastry shops making Cantonese-style moon cakes-Lianxianglou, Taotaoju, Qutianbing and Guangzhou Restaurant. In recent years, restaurants in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, as well as restaurants at home and abroad, have also entered the pedestrian street, becoming an area where traditional and modern, ethnic and international food culture exchange, which fully embodies the food culture style of "eating in Guangzhou and taste in Xiguan".

yuexiu hill

Located in the north of Guangzhou. In the early Ming Dynasty, Guanyin Pavilion was built on the top of the mountain, so it was also called Guanyin Facility. When the ancient buildings are completed, it will become a Yuexiu Mountain Park with an area of nearly 1 10,000 square meters. The park is mostly hilly, with three artificial lakes, Nanxiu Lake and Dongxiu Lake.

Named after the site of Yuewangtai. In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, it was a famous Taoist mountain with a Taoist temple, the Sanyuan Palace. There is a Longxian well in the palace, which is said to be the Baogu well in the Jin Dynasty. Bao Gu is the daughter of Bao Liang, the satrap of Nanhai in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the wife of Ge Hong, a famous Taoist priest. She is good at acupuncture and is praised by the world. The well was named in memory of her. After the Song Dynasty, Taoism flourished, the palace site expanded, and a Taoist temple was built on the mountainside. Yuexiu Building is now the former site. During the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, Huaying was ordered to build Guanyin Pavilion on the top of the mountain, also known as "Guanyin Mountain". There is a hill in the west called "Wuyang Mountain". It is named after a 1 1 meter Wuyang stone statue standing on the top of the mountain. Legend has it that in Zhou Yiwang, five immortals rode five sheep with ears of grain to Chuting (known as Guangzhou in ancient times) and gave them to good people, wishing them no famine, and the sheep turned to stone. The Wuyang stone statue was created according to this legend and is regarded as a symbol of Guangzhou.

There are many places of interest in the park, mainly Wuyang Mountain and zhenhai tower.

Wuyang Mountain is on the mountain to the west of the park. On the top of the mountain stands a stone statue of Wuyang, which is 1 1 m high. Legend has it that in the ancient Zhou Dynasty, five immortals rode sheep with six ears of grain to Chuting (known as Guangzhou in ancient times) and gave them to the people in the city, wishing them never famine. The fairy's words disappeared and the sheep turned to stone. Wuyang stone statue was created by artists according to this myth. This is why Guangzhou uses "Yangcheng" and "Guangzhou" as pronouns and abbreviations. The statue of Wuyang is carved from granite, which is implicit and poetic and is regarded as the symbol of Guangzhou.

Zhenhai tower is at the top of Yuexiu Mountain, commonly known as "five floors". Built in the early Ming Dynasty, it has a history of more than 600 years. At that time, Japanese invaders invaded the coastal areas of China continuously. In order to strengthen the garrison, local officials built Zhenhai Tower on the top of the mountain with the meaning of "Xiongzhen Haijiang". Zhenhai tower is 28 meters high and 30 meters wide, which is divided into five floors. The roof and overhangs of each floor are covered with glazed tiles, and the walls of the lower two floors are made of red stones. Climbing the stairs, the scenery of Guangzhou is vivid. Zhenhai tower has repaired it many times. When 1928 was rebuilt, the floors and columns of wood structure were changed into reinforced concrete. On both sides of zhenhai tower, there are Ming ancient city walls about 170 meters long. Now the Guangzhou Museum has been established here.

Sun Yat-sen Memorial Tower is located at the top of Yuexiu Mountain, also known as Memorial Tower. Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum in Nanjing was built in memory of Dr. Sun Yat-sen, the great revolutionary forerunner of our country, and was designed by Lu Chan Yan Zhi, the designer of Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum in Nanjing. 1929 started and was completed that year. The monument is made of weathering granite, with a height of 37 meters and a square outside. There is a ladder in the monument tower. On the front of the monument, the full text of Sun Yat-sen's will is engraved with massive granite.
