Quanzhou Zhongshan Street

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.

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.

Zhongshan Street is 12 meters wide, and the street is flanked by a riding building, usually two floors. This architectural style is more common in Southeast Asian countries and southern China. Pedestrians can easily avoid sudden rainstorms and avoid the sun. This humanized architectural style reflects the dawn of modern civilization, in Fujian's three major cities, only Quanzhou and Xiamen have this architectural style.

This is a riding street. The streets are full of red brick riding buildings. The windows upstairs are different and very beautiful. The signboards also retain the appearance of the Republic of China. The streets are very long. There are many check-in points along the way. The alleys on both sides are also very good.

Very characteristic old street, the windows on the house are very beautiful, each is different, there are many beautiful alleys on both sides, there are many delicious food, it is recommended to take a walk.

Very good looking southern Anhui riding building, very long, Zhongshan Middle Road has been remodeled, retains a lot of signs in the Republic of China, the windows are also very good, each is different, really good

There is a feeling of Penang, Malaysia, and I personally feel that the food is not as rich as Xiamen.
