Xinhua Xiangdong Street Ancient City Scenery

Xinhua Xiangdong Street This old street holds a pivotal place in the hearts of Xinhua residents. From the smooth and shiny bluestone slabs on the ground to the old houses on both sides of the street, with slogans praising Chairman Mao still visible, one can sense the profound historical atmosphere of the street. Upon research, it turns out that it was originally built during the Song Dynasty, with simple gray bricks and black tiles, and its long history is probably why it has been preserved amid urban development. Xiangdong Street's Flavorful Cuisine: The most representative food of Xiangdong Street is rice noodles. Xinhua residents, no matter how long they've been away, will always call up a few friends to slurp a bowl of noodles upon returning to Xinhua. Xinhua rice noodles are famous in the Xiangdong Street area and around the Coldwater River in Xinhua. Whether in the morning or for a late-night snack, a bowl of beef noodles with thick chili oil and fragrant pepper is irresistible. For those who like mountain pepper oil, a few drops added to the bowl create an amazing flavor blend that is unforgettable and reminiscent of home. Other distinctive local snacks include cup cakes, wormwood cakes, rice cakes, and oil-pressed cakes, which have also been passed down for many years. Finally, I saw several distinctive Xinhua rice wine shops. Rice wine is truly my favorite drink, especially in the summer when it's chilled in the fridge—cool, sweet, and incredibly refreshing, suitable for women, children, and the elderly.
