Hetou Old Street
Hetou Old Street
4.7/5 · 3,423 review
Highlights:

Hetou Old Street is located in Xugezhuang, Fengnan. It is the head of two artificial canals, namely Coal River and Tangjin Canal. It is also called "Hetou Town". The Coal River was excavated in 1881. It is the first lifeline of coal transportation in Kaiping Mine, the first channel for Tangshan to industrial civilization, and the source of Tangshan's modern industry and commercial trade. Hetou Town gathered merchants and prospered for a while. According to the county annals, the river head at that time was "dizzying with the sight of foreign-style buildings and gardens on both sides of the river", and the waterside beside the bridge was "lined up and crowded with people." It is from here that Tangshan moves towards opening up and prosperity. This is the unforgettable history of Tangshan today.

Hetou Old Street takes Hetou culture as the background, takes Tangshan's regional characteristic culture as the main line, digs into the origins of Tangshan and the Tang Dynasty, and uses the style of the prosperous Tang Dynasty that can represent the prosperous age as the basis to combine the culture of the prosperous Tang Dynasty with the culture of the opening of the port and local folk customs. Culture and temple fair culture are newly packaged and upgraded, integrating the multiple business formats of "food, travel, shopping, entertainment, sports, exhibitions and performances", highlighting the characteristics of "the water streets are dependent on each other, the covered bridges reflect the scenery, and the movement is suitable for both movement and stillness", and strive to create An innovative cultural export window unique to Tangshan, reproducing the agility and prosperity of Hetou Old Street.
