Baoding West Street, known as the "First Street of Zhili", is full of nostalgic feelings

Every city has its irreplaceable old street, and for Baoding, West Street is this irreplaceable one. West Street is located in the center of Baoding, founded in the Song Dynasty, and from the Ming Dynasty, especially after the Luhan Railway was opened in the late Qing Dynasty, merchants gathered here, shops were lined up, it was the most prosperous place in Baoding, and was once known as the "First Street of Zhili" and "Famous Street of the North". Time has brought glory to the old street, and also depicted the vicissitudes and decay of the old street. After several years of upgrading and reconstruction, West Street now has a new look, with spacious bluestone brick roads, a combination of Chinese and Western architectural styles that are nostalgic and fresh. A series of paintings record the history and glory of the old street. Those old brands that still exist or disappear in time are frozen on paper, the First Floor, Wanbaotang, Zhonghua Bookstore, Daoxiang Village, Huaimao Soy Sauce Garden... A few strokes can always evoke people's infinite sighs. Under the exquisite brick carvings, the three big characters of Xianliang Temple are somewhat unrecognizable, but history has left clear footsteps. This was the site of the Baoding Local Executive Committee of the Communist Party of China established in 1926, and was an important red spot. If you're tired, you might as well rest your feet in the tea garden, calm your heart, the simple architecture and elegant style perfectly match the "tea" element. Walking on the street, the strong sense of nostalgia and simplicity pushes people into the river of time, and every building is silently expressing the past memories and stories. There are shops, tea gardens, as well as cultural centers and museums. Walking into any one of them, you can feel the unique memories and characteristics of Baoding. The grey wall and half-round arch windows on the top of the slope have become the unique architectural style of West Street. The simplicity of the grey brick wall is matched with the brilliant colored lights, and a casual shot is a big picture with a strong Republic of China style. Standing in front of the shop full of nostalgic atmosphere, it seems to have traveled back to the "old days of Baoding". Nostalgia can always resonate with people anytime and anywhere. The simple architecture is the memory of the past, the 28 bicycles, public telephones, green mailboxes, and even the snacks eaten in childhood can hit the softness of the heart.
