What is 'Baroque'? It is actually an artistic style from 17th century Italy, characterized by luxurious and passionate architecture with a strong romanticism. At the end of the 19th century, the construction of the Middle East Railway and the navigation of the Songhua River attracted a large number of foreigners and foreign capital. In the 1920s, growing national capitalists acquired land in the outskirts of Daowai, and the enthusiasm and prosperity of Baroque architecture just catered to their 'show-off' mentality. They copied the gorgeous Western-style buildings across the street and transformed the architecture with traditional Chinese decorative items. As a result, a series of 'Baroque' facades featured auspicious Chinese patterns such as bats, pomegranates, toads, and peonies. Considering the 'shop in front, factory in back' business model of Daowai, the traditional Chinese courtyard was utilized as 'living and storage space' in the architecture. Later, this style was named 'Chinese Baroque' by a Japanese scholar named Nishizawa Taihiko. Having said so much, in fact, the number of tourists who actually come here to see the buildings may not be many. More people are attracted by the fame of this place as a popular spot for internet celebrities. Now, the business operations here are very diverse, including restaurants, accommodations, cafes, bakeries, clothing stores, photography studios, and art shops. There's even a branch of the DeYun Society here. The management of the entire scenic area is also very well organized, with no street-side shop staff pulling in customers, clean and tidy roads, public restrooms that are complete and odor-free. It's really quite nice. There's also a small museum inside, free to visit, and the staff are very enthusiastic. If you have any questions, they can tell you everything. The whole scenic area is also free of charge, and there are many interesting places to take photos together. I guess it would take about half a day to go around the whole place. Hmm... I'm getting hungry, time to eat!

Chinese Baroque is indeed a very charming place. Here you can feel the perfect fusion of classical and modern! A street not long, but it's like traveling through a world of East and West. A street very beautiful, where culture and nature intertwine in day and night. Turning from St. Sophia's Cathedral and then strolling here, there are many beautiful scenes that dazzle the eyes, and too many delicious foods that nourish the stomach. Yes, I also like it here—Chinese Baroque.

Harbin's streets are not just in Daoli, take some time to visit the Baroque style street in Daowai, there is another kind of scenery, the Western-style exterior hides Chinese heritage and tradition, probably only here can give such a strong perception. Daoli in Harbin was built by the Russians in 1890 with a total length of 1450 meters. It was built along the Dongqing Railway, also known as the Middle East Railway today, and houses and streets were built. At the beginning of the 20th century, a large amount of foreign capital poured into Harbin, followed by merchants from other European countries who also built their own businesses and residences on both sides of the street, most of whom were foreign immigrants. Central Street gradually formed its pure European architectural style, gathering various architectural styles of Europe at that time, and there were also consulates of various countries with their own national style buildings, and the square kilometer area of Daoli showed the world at that time. If there is Daoli, there is Daowai, as taxi drivers in Harbin often say. Listen to them and go see it. Nowhere can better reflect the integration of Chinese and Western cultures, and the Chinese heritage and tradition that is firmly held in Western culture, than Daowai in Harbin. Daowai is relative to Daoli, the Westerners developed Daoli. The Chinese and national capital who went to the Northeast in the early 20th century built Daowai, which is today's Chinese Baroque style street. Walking into the block, what comes to the face is the straight street and the Baroque-style exterior walls decorated with gorgeous carvings. Each window frame and door frame has intricate flowers and bird carvings. Some building exteriors are dazzling, even more magnificent than Daoli, showing the gorgeousness of the Baroque style. In these intricate Western decorations, there are Chinese bloodline peony patterns in the rich and noble flowers, bats in the Hongfu Qitian, peaches in the Fulu Shouxi, such small ideas are everywhere. If you think that's all, you're wrong. Through the tall Baroque-style gate, the buildings inside are all Chinese-style flying eaves and corners, red walls and green tiles, and tall lanterns. It's a different world from the exterior wall. The Baroque is only limited to the exterior wall, and the wall firmly holds the ancient Chinese tradition, the delicate carved lattice windows, the partitions, the moon doors, the hard bones, the broad mind, make Daowai more complicated and gorgeous than Daoli, and the Baroque with Chinese background is full of vitality. Private capital opens businesses and workshops here, one by one shop, facing the customers from the south to the north, it is very lively, not inferior to Daoli. Daoli is a collection of European architecture, where you can encounter Gothic, Rococo, Baroque, and Islamic domes. Daowai is good at applying Baroque, integrating Chinese tradition in the delicate intricacy of Baroque, and becoming one. Go to Daowai and take a good look at the carvings on the wall and the essence inside the door. The history of Harbin for a hundred years is short but equally heavy.

The transportation is convenient. Zhonghua Baroque Style Street, also known as Old Dao Wai, is recommended for a visit when touring in Harbin, where you can experience the semi-Chinese and semi-foreign architecture and style. The transportation can be subway + shared bicycle, the transportation in the provincial capital cities is very convenient. The way to play is to stroll + eat and drink, the style street mainly consists of three streets, currently has a commercial trend, joined many internet celebrity check-in areas, whether it is day or night is very lively. There are folk museums, Errenzhuan performances, etc.

If you ask me whether the Chinese Baroque Street is worth a visit, I will definitely tell you to go and see it. After all, in my eyes, in my heart, apart from 'snow', Harbin should have many different styles, perhaps also 'thousands of styles', and the Chinese Baroque Street is just one of the 'styles'.
