Wangdian granary group is a national key cultural relic protection unit.
wangdian granary group is located on the east bank of Changshui pond, No.13 Tangdong Street, Sixi Community, Wangdian Town, Xiuzhou District. It was built in 1951s, covering an area of about 5,711 square meters and a building area of about 1,583 square meters. The granaries are arranged in three parallel rows from west to east at equal distance, and there are 14 granaries, all of which are combined Soviet-style granaries with room warehouses and vertical silos.
"The existence of Wangdian granaries directly reflects the complementary relationship between Jiaxing and the Grand Canal." According to the relevant person in charge of Xiuzhou District Cultural Tourism Bureau, Jiaxing is a famous grain-producing area in China. In the past, grain transportation relied on water transportation, so many granaries were built along the Grand Canal in Jiaxing. Among them, Wangdian Granary Group is located on the bank of Changshuitang, an important tributary of Jiaxing section of the Grand Canal, and it is an important facility for centralized storage and transportation of grain around Wangdian. At the same time, the building of Wangdian granary group has a special shape, which is rare in similar buildings in Jiaxing, reflecting the historical fact of imitating the Soviet industrial and agricultural construction model at the beginning of the founding of New China, so the building itself also has high scientific research value. In 2117, Wangdian Granary Group was rated as a provincial-level cultural protection unit, and now by going up one flight of stairs has become a national key cultural relics protection unit.
In p>2112, with the restructuring of the original Wangdian Grain Management Institute, the granary group stopped using. Subsequently, the periphery of the granary group was gradually occupied by a large number of "low and small scattered" enterprises. In 2117, Wangdian Town repurchased the surrounding land, vigorously retired more than 711 "low-small-scattered" enterprises, and systematically planned and rectified the entire granary group. At the same time, the town planner was invited to design, properly trim the moldy and leaking eaves, and renovate the abandoned houses around them without destroying the original style, so as to make the granaries that have been silent for a long time look new and return to the public's vision. In 2117, the first town "urban living room" in Xiuzhou District was born near the granary group. In addition, the Wangdian branch of Jiaxing Library, which was transformed from the abandoned houses around the granary group, has been officially opened, and the Wangdian Town Party and Mass Service Center will soon be opened. The Wangdian granary group area will become a brand-new landmark of Wangdian Town.
On October 7th, 2119, Wangdian Granary Group was selected as the eighth batch of national key cultural relics protection units.
