Former Residence of Xu Aizhou

What travelers say:

Walking on the National Road near the antique city, a Western-style building, the magnificent building stands at the crossroads, very eye-catching. Architectural listing: Zhanjiang Antique Culture City. The antique culture city is a total of three floors, the exterior wall decoration is simple and varied, and the interior decoration is exquisite and advanced. When I walked in, I saw a sign next to the gate that said "Xu Ai Zhou's former residence". Who is Xu Ai Zhou? He was the first ship king of Hong Kong and one of the pioneers of ocean-going shipping trade in modern Chinese history. Born in Boli Village, Potou, Wuchuan County, Guangdong Province, in 1881, he grew up in Guangzhou Bay, a French colony. After graduating from primary school, he went into business with his father, and became the richest man in the local area under the age of 30. The most profound thing that has been done in Zhanjiang is to apply to the French for reclamation rights. Today, a large area of commercial land such as the Democratic Road, Civil Rights Road and Minsheng Road in Chikan District was filled out by Xu Aizhou after several years of reclamation, so he became a famous real estate tycoon. During the Sino-Japanese War, with France's neutral status, a large number of foreign ships were purchased, and merchant ships reached Southeast Asia, becoming a famous shipping giant. "Plug in an entertainment gossip: Hong Kong famous actor Li Jiaxin turned out to be Xu Aizhou's daughter-in-law" "Xu Aizhou"'s former residence, before liberation was the Kuomintang Central Bank, after liberation as a "military guest house", later changed to "Ai Zhou Middle School", after "Ai Zhou Middle School" moved out, The Antique Chamber of Commerce cooperated with the government's call for "building a cultural city" and according to its own development needs, the members raised funds to transform this old French architectural style building into the largest antique cultural city in western Guangdong. Recommended index: After the polishing of time and the brilliant and wonderful life of the former owner, the building has left a rich cultural heritage, which is worth seeing. #Langyou Vision#Hi everyone ｜ I am Nian ｜ Digital Traveler ｜ Free Designer ｜ One computer and one mobile phone ｜ Working while Langyou World ｜ Recording the new lifestyle of digital Traveler ｜DIGITAL NOMAD｜ Efficient Office ｜ Langyou Life ｜ Digital Traveler China ｜ Dali Shared Office Space Dalihub ｜ Traveling in the World ｜ Wave Tour Plan ｜ Welcome to pay attention
