Grand View Garden Ji 'nan Grand View Garden Shopping Mall
According to historical records, Jinan Daguanyuan Shopping Mall was built in 193 1, covering an area of 42 mu, and it is one of the larger comprehensive shopping malls in Jinan, the capital of Shandong Province.

Before 1930, the Daguan Garden site was still a potholed wasteland, inhabited by hundreds of poor households who lived by pulling carts, pushing soil and begging, and was a shanty town for the poor. This place was originally a part of a large amount of land rented by Jin, a northern warlord, in collusion with the Commercial Port Bureau after he opened a port in Jinan. 1930, Yang Biqing was sent from Tianjin to Jinan to manage this land, and built a large-scale entertainment place-Daguan Garden. After Yang arrived in Jinan, his vision of Jin failed to come true for a long time because of his lack of experience. This business opportunity happened to be noticed by Zhang Yiting, a speculator who failed in the grain depot business. He soon got to know Kim, rented the land and began to build the Grand View Garden.

193 1, Zhang Yiting formally signed a lease contract with Yanfu Tangjin (the Tang number of Jin Yune's family) in the name of Changfeng Real Estate Company. According to the contract, Zhang Yiting rents the 42 mu of land at the annual rent in 450 yuan for 20 years. After the expiration, all buildings on the ground will be unconditionally handed over to Yanfutang. With his bare hands, Zhang Yiting cheated Zhucheng landlords who had worked for British American Tobacco Company into investing 20,000 yuan, and bought more than 20,000 yuan of building materials on credit with the guarantee of Yanfutang Gold. He broke ground in February and March of 193 1, and on September 26th (lunar calendar) 193 1.

The original idea of building the Grand View Garden is to divide the foundation into two sections (namely, the internal market and the external market), and build pubs, cloth shops, groceries, sweets, cakes and other shops in the external market; In the inner market, four theaters will be built, with a brothel in front and a big garden in the middle, and an overpass above the garden. In this way, entering the garden from the north gate of the shopping mall, you can climb the overpass to look up at the surrounding scenery of the whole audience and overlook the whole picture of the garden shop.

Shortly after the opening of the mall, Zhang Yiting rented the second theater that was not built to Wang Zengyuan because of poor management. He converted the second theater into a sound theater in the Grand View Garden. From 1932 to 1935, the Grand View Garden entered the development stage. Seeing this, Jin stopped the guarantee for Zhang Yiting, and rallied the building materials creditors to recover the debt from Zhang Yiting in order to recover it. 1935 In the spring, the Jin 'an District Court decided to auction the inner shopping mall operated by Zhang Yiting to repay the debt. The auction was conducted in the form of bidding, but Zhang Jin did not get it. As a result, he was awarded the bid by "Xingye Company" which manages real estate. "Xingye Company" has built more than 200 bungalows in the inner shopping mall and rented them out.

/kloc-in the winter of 0/937, the Japanese army occupied Jinan. The economic deformation and unemployment caused by the war have brought abnormal development and temporary prosperity to the Grand View Garden. There are more than 200 vendors, jugglers and Jianghu artists from all over the country who come to Jinan "Daguan Garden" to make a living, and the rent has increased by 10 to more than 30 times, which made them famous for a time. /kloc-in the spring of 0/940, a fire broke out in the inner shopping mall, which lasted for five hours and caused heavy losses. The industrial company could not continue to operate, and Zhang Yiting "redeemed" it back to the inner shopping mall by various means. 1941May 15, the Grand View Garden caught fire for the second time, and all foreign buildings were burned down. This fire, through insurance money, made Zhang Yiting.

After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Daguanyuan Shopping Mall lacked cigarette shops selling medicines with lights, and became a chaotic situation with hooligans, pheasants, thieves, beggars and drunkards. Zhang Yiting climbed into the ranks of the newly rich Kuomintang, and gradually formed a number of evil forces such as "three pavilions", "four tyrants", "four seas" and "ten evils" in Daguan Garden.

1September 1948, Jinan was liberated. 195 1 April, Zhang Yiting and Zhang Huande were arrested and suppressed according to law, and all the properties of Grand View Garden were taken over by the government, including 790 rooms with a construction area of 956 1 m2. 1952, "Grand View Garden" established "Grand View Garden Mall Management Committee".

1954, the private industry and commerce of Daguanyuan Shopping Mall was merged into public-private partnership. From 65438 to 0958, private houses in Jinan were transformed into socialism. 1963, reconstruction of Daguan Cinema.

The renovation project of the north area of Jinan Grand View Garden Shopping Mall will be completed in more than one month, and the Grand View Garden has begun to show its antique, elegant and unique charm.

The renovation of the north area of Daguanyuan Shopping Mall is carried out with reference to the ancient architectural styles of Nanjing Confucius Temple and Shanghai Chenghuang Temple. At present, the appearance of red columns with gray tiles and white walls has basically taken shape. According to reports, after the completion of the project, the surrounding area of the Grand View Garden will be transformed in a timely manner according to the cornice and bucket arch mode, and the characteristics of the old commercial port of the Grand View Garden shopping mall will be restored as much as possible. By then, the Grand View Garden area will echo the old Furong Street area and become the elegant and unique "old Jinan" in the new Jinan. At present, the Grand View Garden Shopping Mall is setting up a tourism team to fully promote the grand view tourism model of courtyards, gardens and ancient cities, and make the Grand View Garden another characteristic tourism "business card" in Jinan after the three major scenic spots.

It is understood that there used to be a place for offering sacrifices in the Grand View Garden, which later disappeared for various reasons. A temple was rebuilt in the northern area for charitable donations, sacrifices and sermons. Originally named Daguan Temple, the temple will form a religious and charitable culture in the business district together with the restored Confucian Temple, Guandi Temple and Dragon Palace in Furong District.

Drinking tea, listening to books and talking cross talk in Chen Guang Teahouse are unforgettable memories of the old Jinan people. Chen Guang Teahouse, which has been restored to its original site, will provide powerful help for the revival of cross talk in Jinan. It covers an area of 200 square meters and its architectural style is similar to that of Beijing Laoshe Teahouse. With the completion of storytelling hall and Quyi hall, Jinan is expected to become a major "dock" for national Quyi performances.

1932 founded Daguan Cinema is also cooperating with Daguan Garden Shopping Mall to polish the "Daguan" signboard. Daguan Cinema is the first cinema in Jinan to show audio movies. With the progress of the times, Daguan Cinema has become more and more modern and fashionable. The old scene of Mazar -e and futon watching movies is gone. Cinemas are beginning to transform some cinemas into viewing scenes in 1930s and 1940s, specially showing old films in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China or even before the founding of the People's Republic of China, so that modern people can feel the artistic charm between classicism and fashion.

The person in charge of the Grand View Garden Mall said that with the completion of the renovation project, the Grand View Garden will reproduce the scene of "City God Temple on the Yellow River" and become a comprehensive commercial center integrating catering, entertainment, leisure and shopping. After returning to the simple Grand View Garden business circle, the shopping factor will "retreat to the second line", and drinking tea, listening to books, listening to cross talk, watching movies, tasting snacks and watching acrobatics will become its main contents. The Grand View Garden is expected to become an inseparable part of Jinan people's life again.
