In the 1980s and 1990s, people living in the south of the Yangtze River had to "cross Hankou" to buy important things, and most of them went to Liudu Bridge. There is a saying in old Hankou: "The reputation is full of three towns, and shopping is at six gates". Liumen here refers to Liudu Bridge. There are many large shopping malls around Liudu Bridge, including Four Seasons Beauty, Cai Linji, Fuqing and other old brands. Pedestrian bridges are always bustling. The hawker's cries and car horns are intertwined, forming a noisy and everyday scene in the core area of Old Hankou. Because of Wuhan dialect, people affectionately call Liudu Bridge "Mung Bean Bridge". Residents near Liudu Bridge are still full of pride: "Before talking about Hankou, Wuhan people naturally thought of' Mung Bean Bridge'. Living in the' Mung Bean Bridge' means living in the city center, and people from the three towns will come here to play. "
After entering the new century, with the rise of Wuhan-Guangzhou, Zhongnan, Xu Dong and other business districts, Liudu Bridge is still one of the most important business districts in Wuhan, although it is no longer brilliant.
The construction of Liuduqiao Pedestrian Bridge not only ensures the smooth traffic on Zhongshan Avenue, but also organically integrates several large shopping malls at Liuduqiao intersection and promotes economic prosperity. 1999 After the transformation of Zhongshan Avenue, Liuduqiao footbridge was put on new clothes. The circular part of the bridge deck is paved with granite artistic mosaic, and the bridge side is decorated with milky yellow plastic aluminum plate. The Liuduqiao footbridge, which is full of modern flavor, adds new luster to the newly decorated Zhongshan Avenue.
