Jianghan Road from Jiang Yan Road to Hualou Street was once the "foreign street" in the British Concession in the late Qing Dynasty. In the Town Map of Wuhan drawn by Yang Shoujing, a modern historical geographer 1890, Guangli Lane is to the east of this section. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, with the development of commerce and foreign trade, many bank buildings were built in this section, and the streets were widened to12m. Sovereignty was occupied by the British Concession and renamed Taiping Street.
Starting from 1906, Liu Xinsheng, the "Diwang", was first filled from the lake pond around Jianghan Road, and then gradually filled into the Houhualou of Jianghan Road to the subgrade outside the railway, forming a new road. After the Revolution of 1911, China capitalists rose rapidly. In less than 10 years, Jianghan Road has become a bustling commercial street in Hankou. In the early years of the Republic of China, Xinsheng Road in Zhi Zhu Temple in Hankou described the bustling scene of Jianghan Road in that year: "The front flower building is connected with the back flower building, leading straight to Xinsheng Road. Cars and horses are like a shuttle, and the nocturne blows. "
Historically, Jianghan Road was actually the dividing line between China people and foreigners. Hualou Street, Huangpi Street and the adjacent Daxing Road to the west of Jianghan Road are shops, workshops and food stores, with shops in front and factories in the back. Its streets are basically banks, companies and shops run by imperialist countries, bureaucrats and national capitalists. In addition, Jianghan Pass Ferry Terminal welcomes tourists, creating a business atmosphere of Jianghan Road.
1927, China reclaimed the British Concession in Hankou, and Taiping Street and Xinsheng Road were renamed Jianghan Road. Today, there are still 13 outstanding modern historical buildings on Jianghan Road, which is a historical witness to the prosperity of Jianghan Road commercial city.
