Quanzhou Zhongshan Street

It is said to be the longest Southeast Asian-style riding building in the country, and the intersection of West Street is the iconic clock tower of Quanzhou Old Town. Zhongshan Street has Christian Quannan Church and many old brands such as retro Shanghai barbershop, Xinhua Bookstore, etc., as well as a number of famous local clothing brands in Quanzhou, the night view is beautiful.

A hub of activity where you will find lots of restaurants and shops to engage in

The buildings on Zhongshan Street also retained the traditional style of Nanyang architecture at the time, the "rider building". Due to the climate characteristics of Southeast Asian countries, the sun was very fierce and often rainstorms fell. So they used the method of living room and corridor to avoid the heat, forming modern commercial and residential buildings.

Quanzhou, the city of faith, there are Buddhist Kaiyuan Temple, Taoist Guandi Temple, Confucian Temple, Islam's clean temple, Catholic Huaxiang Catholic Church, Mazu's Tianhou Palace, and even from Putian hands to take the name of Nan Shaolin orthodoxy. If the hero is incense, the believers of Guandi Temple block the whole street into red, but I prefer Chengtian Temple, which faded after nightfall, with Jia Island's artistic conception of "birds and trees by the pool, monks knock on the moon door", here is still the place of the incarnation of the master. Outside the Guandi Temple, beggars, but almost no one paid for it, people were busy to pay for Guan Grandpa's steamed buns, or in front of the Stan Jiang mother duck for a pot of net red certification of ginger mother duck to compete for endurance; Next to Shaolin Temple Mountain Road is a row of houses, all households are equipped with iron fences, a place of pious worship, and Shaolin martial arts body protection, but no one dares to put down the heart of alert. People are indeed the most complicated emotional animals in the world.

Jinjiang's old street is very prosperous and I like it very much, it is worth a visit.

Zhongshan Road was built in the early 1920s, in the early 20s of the last century, Quanzhou Xianda people proposed to demolish the city to break the long-term closure of Quanzhou ancient city backward situation; in 1924, the north and south streets were all connected; Subsequently, in order to permanently commemorate Mr. Sun Yat-sen, the main streets of cities across the country were named "Zhongshan Road". Quanzhou North and South Street was renamed "Zhongshan Road". Zhongshan Road runs through the ancient city of Quanzhou to the north and south, and it is more than 2 kilometers long, which can be said to be a historical witness of the transition from ancient to modern city construction in Quanzhou. From the original dirt road to the stone road, to the first cement road called Qixian in Quanzhou City, to the later renamed Zhongshan Road, until today, more than 80 years, Zhongshan Road experienced the historical wind and rain. This time I went to Quanzhou and walked the whole Zhongshan Street. There are various buildings. The style is unified, there is Southeast Asian style, some are ordinary arcades, all are shops, electric cars, various daily necessities, can be found in other cities can not buy gadgets.
