Dongmen Old Street, with a history of 400 years, was once a bustling commercial street. What is the scene now?
Although Laodongmen Street is not as prosperous as it used to be, it still has a sense of the times, including some former stone houses. And people who live here often eat at home, which is very warm.

Speaking of this old East Gate Street, it is very important. I believe many people born here have deep feelings for it. It was built in the Qing Dynasty and has a history of 400 years. At that time, Dongmen Fishing Village had a developed fishery and a large population, which naturally formed shops, mainly to provide materials for fishing boats docked.

At that time, Dongmen Old Street was really beautiful, bustling and crowded, which was an endless stream. At the peak, there were more than a dozen fish processing plants, and their products were sold all over the country, which was well received by everyone. Although the old street has lost its former prosperity, every brick and tile carries the long history of the East Gate. In the late 1980s, private shops opened, and then the streets gradually moved out, mainly between Gangxin Street and Hengjie Street.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that the current Dongmen Street retains its previous characteristics, which is narrower than our modern streets, but it is very warm. Residents in this street still like to sit in front of their homes when eating. Walking along Dongmen Old Street, although the old road has changed from gravel to cement road, it is relatively narrow after all, so the pattern is basically visible. Most of the houses on both sides are cement buildings built around the 1990s. There are also some remaining traditional brick and wood structures. These old houses are very abrupt between new buildings and have a sense of the times.

It still looks a little emotional. This old street has declined a little, but there are traces of the past. I hope to keep it. After all, it is the memory of many people.
