The train tracks run north and south, dividing the city into two parts. Because residents often cross the railway, there have been many accidents in which people and animals were killed by trains, so a big stone bridge was built on the north side of the railway station.
Dashiqiao was built in 1907, with a total length of 150m, a height of 7m, a width of 10m and * * 23 holes. The bridge is made of limestone with a gentle slope. There are two stone lion sculptures on each side of the bridge.
Now the Dashiqiao has long lost its function, and it has become a key cultural relic in provinces and cities after restoration.
With Dashiqiao as the symbol, the east of Dashiqiao is called Qiaodong, and the west of Dashiqiao is called Qiaoxi. When old Shijiazhuang people say the location, the most commonly used dividing line is Qiaodong and Qiaoxi.
When I was a child 30 years ago, the old railway station was the most prosperous place, with small vendors and crowds jostling with each other.
On the north side of the old railway station is Zhongshan Road, the most prosperous commercial street in Shijiazhuang, which is similar to Chang 'an Avenue in Beijing and divides Shijiazhuang into north and south.
Xinbai Shopping Mall, with the old railway station as the center and the intersection of Zhongshan Road and Zhonghua Street a few hundred meters west, was formerly People's Shopping Mall. When I was a child, it was the largest shopping mall in Shijiazhuang, but now its status has greatly declined, giving way to the shopping mall in the North.
To the east of the old railway station, the Northland Mall, where Zhongshan Road and Jianshe Street meet, has a very strong surrounding business atmosphere and has now become a de facto new center.
Sixty-eight years ago, when I was six years old, my family lived behind the current Shijiazhuang cinema. I remember that at that time, there were very few homes called' Samsung Hutong' to build a street to the east. Zhongshan Road, east of the railway, was originally called Chaoyang Road, and later changed to the north of Jiefang Road, the south of Zhengdong Street and Pengcun. Zhongshan Road crosses Zhonghua Street to the west, which is the present People's Shopping Mall (the red brick two-story building in those days), then to the west, to the east of the present Municipal Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, to the north of Zhongshan Road to Beihou Street, and to the south of Zhongshan Road (now Yuhua Road). Within this range, the population of Shijiazhuang is relatively concentrated. From the west of the Municipal Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine to the present Peace Hospital, this area is the military station and the countryside. The narrow road gorge is a one-lane dirt road without public housing. At that time, the city center was the old railway station, where residents lived together, and the surrounding shops, cinemas and theaters were concentrated in this area.
The monument is an iconic city center, where the old railway station and trade market are densely populated. The liberation of Shijiazhuang was fought there (around the monument and Xinhua Road). Shijiazhuang before liberation was just a small village, that is, Xiumen village before the transformation of the village in the city. This is the most authoritative answer.
Guang 'an Street. At that time, the city center was Heping Road to Jiefang Road opposite the museum, which is now the center line. Jiefang Road is now Zhongshan Road. In the past, there was nothing on Yuhua Road, just a broken village. Now Yuhua Road is really beautiful. Downtown or Guang 'an Street from the north of the museum to Heping Road!
Shijiazhuang city should be the old railway station, now called Jiefang Square. The east-west axis of Shijiazhuang is Beijing-Shenzhen Railway, the east is Qiaodong (not Qiaodong area in geographical concept), and the west is Qiaoxi. The north-south central axis is Zhongshan Road, which is the main road running through the urban area. The intersection of the two central axes is the old railway station, which is worthy of the name as the center of the city.
Before 1970s and 1980s, Qiaoxi was an old city, with many old households and houses and few industrial and mining enterprises. There are many new enterprises in Qiaodong, including tractor factory, tractor parts factory, coal mine machinery factory, No.7 cotton mill, Huayao, No.3302 military factory and steel mill. These are the new urban areas of Shijiazhuang.
At that time, the urban area of Shijiazhuang was very small, with Dongming Bridge (Minxin River) in the east, Provincial Party Committee Courtyard in the west, Jiuchang Road in the north and Cang 'an Road in the south. It is about 6 kilometers from east to west and 6 kilometers from north to south.
I remember Shijiazhuang Railway Station was an old railway station built before liberation in the late 1960s, and there was a portrait of Chairman Mao in the exit square. At that time, I was five or six years old, and I went to the statue with my neighbor's older children every day to ask for instructions early and report later. I am very pious in my heart. Don't laugh at people's ignorance at that time. Now people go to the temple to burn incense and worship Buddha in a similar way, but at that time people's hearts were purer.
1987, a new railway station was built in Shijiazhuang, which was much more magnificent than the old railway station and became a landmark building in Shijiazhuang. People come and go every day, and the stream is endless, witnessing the course of Shijiazhuang's reform and opening up.
To the north of the station are Dashiqiao, Zheng Tai Hotel and Shijiazhuang Liberation Monument.
Dashiqiao, Zheng Tai Hotel and Zheng Tai Railway 1907 were built simultaneously. Dashiqiao straddles the railway. During the War of Liberation, the Kuomintang converted it into a bunker, which was the last command post of the Kuomintang defenders.
Zheng Tai Hotel was the best hotel in Shijiazhuang at that time, and had hosted senior leaders of the Kuomintang such as Sun Yat-sen and Chiang Kai-shek.
Shijiazhuang Liberation Monument1987165438+10/2 was completed to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the liberation of Shijiazhuang. The inscription is "Shijiazhuang Liberation Monument" inscribed by Marshal Nie.
Zhongshan Road is the main commercial street from the People's Shopping Mall in the west to the Exhibition Hall (Hebei Provincial Museum) in the east. The shopping malls on both sides are very close, and it is called "Nanjing Road" in Shijiazhuang. Especially near the old railway station, it is a busy place every day.
Time flies, now the urban area of Shijiazhuang is many times larger than before, with many high-rise buildings, dynamic fashion and full of vitality. A new railway station was built about one kilometer south of the old railway station. The new station is more magnificent, novel in shape, fully functional and full of modern flavor. The old railway station is still reserved for large-scale exhibitions and publicity activities.
Just as Tiananmen Square in Beijing is the center of Beijing, the old railway station in Shijiazhuang will always be the center of citizens' hearts.
Shijiazhuang is a train-driven city, centering on the old railway station, the Liberation Monument and Dashiqiao, which is the origin of the city center. In my memory, Zhongshan Road, minzu road, Minsheng Road, Xiaonan Street, Yong 'an Street and Nanma Road surround the center of old Shijiazhuang. Time-honored brands on Zhongshan Road include People's Shopping Mall, Old Wanbao Shopping Mall, Lihua Cloth Shop, Volkswagen Local Products Store, Xinhua Bookstore, People's Cinema, Volkswagen Theatre, New China Cinema, Bayi Auditorium, Daoxiang Village, Food Company, Volkswagen Hotel, Zhonghexuan Restaurant, etc. Now there are many high-rise buildings on Zhongshan Road, and the central business district of Shijiazhuang is under construction. A modern provincial capital city is rising!
This museum was built in the 1980s. Jiefang Road Shopping Mall was the first to open, and People's Shopping Mall was later than it. When I went there in 72, the most lively thing was this Jiefang Shopping Mall, which is now the Northland Shopping Mall. Qiaoxi is a railway station, and there is no business in the west. Later, People's Shopping Mall came into being, but its development speed was not as fast as that of Qiaodong, which developed after 1990s.
The earliest city center was around the old railway station. Several underpass bridges extending from north to south on the train track divide Shijiazhuang into two parts, namely Qiaodong and Qiaoxi. This is not an administrative division, but a term used by ordinary people. At the end of 1990s, due to the establishment of Northland Mall, the existing People's Mall and the East Shopping Center next to the railway station, a new commercial belt was formed along Zhongshan Road, starting from Jianshe Street in the east and reaching Zhonghua Street in the west (before that, Shijiazhuang's business was also concentrated in this section). With the development of economy and the improvement of real estate, the center of Shijiazhuang has now expanded to the range from Zhonghua Street in the west, Heping Road in the north, Sports Street in the east and Huai 'an Road in the south, with all kinds of large-scale commercial buildings, office buildings, high-grade residential quarters, restaurants and so on.
Shijiazhuang used to be the old railway station (north of the post and telecommunications building) and Dashiqiao. In the 1980s, it became the first reception desk of the municipal government (the intersection of Zhongshan Road and Ping 'an Street) according to the distance of fields. Because the army is in the west, the east has developed rapidly. The center moves eastward to Guang 'an Avenue. Business Center: Zhongshan Road (Qiaoxi: Laowanbao Shopping Mall, Daoxiang Village Food Store, Xinhua Bookstore, Yuxin Stationery Store, Popular Cinema, Workers Cinema, Chinese Restaurant, New World Cinema, People's Cinema, Food Shopping Mall, Zhongshan Shopping Mall, People's Shopping Mall, First Food Shopping Mall, Bayi Theater), (Qiaodong Jiefang Road: Jiefang Road Department Store), (Chang 'an Road: Tianfu Hotel, Chang 'an)
Shijiazhuang, formerly known as Shimen, is the capital of Hebei Province and one of the important central cities in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region of China approved by the State Council.
From 20 12, 12 and 2 1, the new and old railway stations were fully opened, marking the official arrival of the high-speed rail era in Shijiazhuang. At this time, the location of Shijiazhuang city center has also changed.
Before 20 12, the center of Shijiazhuang was an area around the old railway station, which is now Jiefang Square. This area includes Donggou Square, Xinbai Square, Northland Mall, Xiantianxia Square and Taihe Electronic City. This area is also the main area for people's daily shopping and consumption.
From the old railway station in Shijiazhuang to Zhonghua Street in the west, Jianhua Street in the east, Huai 'an Road in the south and Heping Road in the north, this area belongs to a link in Shijiazhuang.
As time goes by, new and old railway stations appear alternately. At this time, the center of Shijiazhuang, centered on the old railway station, has also changed.
Now Shijiazhuang City is in the east, probably near wanda plaza in Yuhua District and wanda plaza in Chang 'an District.
The center of Shijiazhuang mentioned here mainly refers to the areas where shopping and consumption are the main areas.
The organs and units in Shijiazhuang are mainly located in qiaoxi district, Shijiazhuang.
