In July 2020, the National Patriotic Health Association confirmed Zhangzhou as a national health city on 20 19. This ancient city with a history of 1300 years has long been promulgated by the State Council as a famous historical and cultural city.
Today, Zhangzhou has demonstrated the level of a developed city in terms of urban infrastructure construction, utilization of public resources, traffic conditions and medical conditions. What is more commendable is that Zhangzhou, as a famous historical city, has always maintained a simple and elegant posture.
Zhangzhou, a low-key treasure, has many famous and mouth-watering places, such as tulou, Zhenhaijiao and Dongshan Island, but this time we just want to take a walk in the ancient city of Zhangzhou, which is also the best way to understand its rich history.
In the memory of Zhangzhou people, the ancient city plays an important role. Red bricks, arcades, dovetail ridges, bricks, tiles, red walls, flowers, grass and city gates all tell the ancient story of the ancient city.
In the ancient city of Zhangzhou, we can talk to history at any time, or just look for daily leisure. Drink four fruit soup when you are thirsty, and eat hand-grabbed noodles when you are hungry. Historical sites and old brands are as familiar and natural as old friends.
The ancient city of Zhangzhou still retains the natural features of "three pillows and two rivers", the urban structure of "taking the river as the city and the bridge as the door" and the street pattern of "nine streets and thirteen lanes" since the Tang and Song Dynasties.
For example, the two existing archways, Depei Tiandi and Daoguan Ancient and Modern, on both sides of the Confucian Temple are the two core national key protected cultural relics of Zhangzhou ancient city. Hong Kong Road still retains historical buildings from the Ming and Qing Dynasties to the Republic of China. Among them, "Shangshu Tanhua" and "Shisanzaier", two stone archways in Ming Dynasty, are exquisite in craftsmanship and are also national key protected cultural relics.
If you want to feel the hustle and bustle of the ancient city, go to Taiwan Road, which is a veritable commercial downtown with many shops in history. As early as the twenties and thirties of the 20th century, there appeared such well-known time-honored brands as Tianyishou Old Drugstore, Wanyuan Qianzhuang, Xiangjiebu Store, Jinye Shoe Store and Ruiyuan Tea House. Taiwan Road can not only feast your eyes, but also feast your eyes.
The ancient city of Zhangzhou is relatively easy-going, and there is no sense of alienation when walking in an alley. When you see the old people who have lived here for a long time, they will surely smile and ask you: Where are you from? Have you tried the delicious oysters fried here? He will proudly tell you that "his old house has a history of hundreds of years", and maybe he will take you to sit and make the best Tieguanyin for you.
Let's take a closer look at the ancient city of Zhangzhou. There are slow cyclists on the street, mottled barbershops, old photo shops that record time, and men who gather at street corners to chat and drink tea. We have to sigh that the ancient cultural context continues here. The ancient city of Zhangzhou is the epitome of Zhangzhou, and it is a good place full of life and suitable for our winter pension.
