What travelers say:

Built in the flower market community museum next to the millennium jujube king For Beijing old Chongwen, Huashi Street is definitely a block that cannot be ignored in any way, carrying countless unforgettable memories. Huashi Street was built more than 800 years ago in the Yuan Dynasty. At that time, the southeast of the Metropolis was beautiful, beautiful water and grass, and tourists were like weaving. There were many private gardens in the noble giant room. Many historical books recorded many places of interest here at that time. In the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Ying, the ancestor of Ming Cheng, moved to Beijing and built Beijing City. Yongle 20 years (1422) built a "Shenmu Factory" outside Chongwenmen, and dedicated to building several "Shenmu" left by Beijing City. The flower market street was then named "Shenmuchang Street"; During the Qing Dynasty, a large-scale flower industry was formed in many alleys in the flower market. The prosperity of the flower market reached a climax, and the five-line and eight-piece workshops and shops were endless. According to the "Beiping Industry and Commerce Profile", "the flower village and the family camp flower people are about a thousand", this street is also officially renamed "Hua (er) City Street", commonly known as Huashi Street; The late Qing Dynasty and the early Minchu were the heyday of Huashi Street, and the streets from east to west were full of various stalls, and formed paper flower flower district, flower market and bird market, pigeon market and so on. The flower market area in Beijing is known as the old Beijing crafts gathering area in the history of Beijing, jade, velvet paper flower, velvet bird, ivory carving, bone carving, wood carving, Jingtai blue, drama helmet, carving paint, gold inlaid, material, palace lamp, carpet, iron flower, copper tire burning porcelain, Jinhe and others have set up workshops here, especially Beijing shavings, Beijing materials, grapes often have the highest visibility, and have entered the national intangible cultural heritage list, Beijing shavings, Beijing shavings (velvet birds) also in the Beijing municipal intangible cultural heritage list list, Bamboo engraves are listed in the precinct-level intangible cultural heritage. Today, I visited the "Flower Market Community Museum", which is the first community museum in Beijing, to showcase the history and culture of the flower market area. The museum is located in the underground space between the building of 8-9 in the Zaoyuan Community of Huashi. It is converted from the underground human defense project. There is only a very inconspicuous small bungalow on the ground, but after entering the underground space downstairs, it is found that there is a cave. This museum covers an area of 1880 square meters. On the basis of the original underground space layout, multiple exhibition halls are divided into the main line of displaying the history and culture of the flower market, including the East Flower Market Historical and Cultural Corridor, Comprehensive Exhibition Hall, "The Handan" Exhibition Hall, "The Flower" Exhibition Hall, "The Grape Chang" Exhibition Hall, "The Fleeting Bird" Exhibition Hall, "The Handan" Exhibition Hall, The "Bamboo Carving" exhibition hall, etc., there is also a red collection exhibition at the innermost part. The exhibits include a large number of non-legacy art objects and pictures, old photos of flower market history, sand plates in flower market areas, scene restoration, etc., knowledgeable, interesting, and the exhibition experience is very good. The museum is quite good, but it is too "removed". Today's whole hour of visit is completely "packaged", and when you register before entering the registration book, there are not many visitors for the whole month. Maybe this museum "hidden" is too deep!
