Laodaowai is the birthplace of Harbin. A hundred years ago, there were only two areas in Harbin: Daoli and Nangang in the east, where foreigners lived; Outside the Daodao in the west is where China people live. According to historical records, at the beginning of the 20th century, a group of smart, intelligent and brave national industrial and commercial elites took the lead in setting up shops in South Erdao Street and building houses in the hinterland outside the road. In Gai Lou, those China craftsmen followed the example of "foreign houses" in Daoli and Nangang, and adopted China's architectural techniques, such as fair-faced brick walls, white mortar jointing, brick-wood structures and carved eaves, to build a typical "small foreign house" in China-European facade and Chinese courtyard.
Western-style appearance, Chinese courtyard, after a hundred years of sea, the buildings outside the old road are dilapidated and empty.
However, there are still some lively blocks, and Beisan Road is a lively and extraordinary city business street. There are many places where Harbin people are willing to come all the way to taste and buy.
3. There are also many folk delicacies outside the old road, such as pork ribs steamed stuffed bun with Zhang Baobao, pork roasted by Zhang Fei, jiaozi made by Fan Jiyong, and old pancakes in hutong.
4. After the experts who selected the UN Habitat Award and international architectural art experts visited Harbin, the evaluation of this building complex is: whether from the number of baroque buildings or from its sense of history, its value exceeds that of the Central Street. The only place that makes Harbin eligible to apply for the UN Habitat Award is the "China Baroque" building area outside the road.
