As early as the end of the Qing Dynasty, there was a bud of commercial development in Qiaoxi. Some time-honored brands have mushroomed on the main streets of Qiaoxi: Tongshoutang, Baiyuantang, Sanyuan Restaurant and Ruizhen Building ... among them, pharmacies, grocery stores and restaurants are the majority. Before the founding of New China, the business in Qiaoxi was far less prosperous than that in Qiaodong, but with the advantage of purchasing goods from Qiaodong, Dashi Street (now Zhongshan West Road), Wanshifang (now Zhongshan South Road) and Sipailou (Zhongshan North Road) in Qiaoxi also became the prosperous business districts in Huizhou at that time.
In the early days of liberation, it was very difficult for Qiaodong to stand up again on the ruins after the war. 1959, a catastrophic flood completely changed the position of Qiaodong as a commercial center. In order to prevent floods, the government began to shift the focus of urban development to Qiaoxi. In the 1980s, Qiaoxi was awakened by the spring breeze of reform and opening up. However, Qiaodong is restricted by the transformation of the old city, and can only watch the Nantan on the other side of Xizhijiang River change from a big fish pond into a city.
After all, the rapid development of individual economy is not the protagonist in the wave of economic development. After tasting the first soup of market economy, the clever Qiaoxi people began to take another road-developing commercial retail. In the mid-1990s, the opening of Yingda Shopping Mall, Shengping Shopping Mall and Old West Lake Department Store gave full play to the design of shops in Qiaoxi residential complex, and led the tertiary industry in Qiaoxi to develop in a large-scale and efficient way.
In 2000, the entry of Shenzhen "Renren Le" supermarket, on the one hand, changed the commercial pattern of Huizhou, on the other hand, guided Qiaoxi to the road of commercial gathering. Prior to this, Qiaoxi has accumulated valuable experience in developing the tertiary industry by transforming the commercial pedestrian street and developing Nantan Commercial Street.
What Qiaoxi people are most proud of is that 20011began to build a digital commercial street. After 1 years of strict construction, the once stinking sewage ditch has become a landmark comprehensive shopping and entertainment plaza in Huizhou. From 2002 to now, Shenzhen commercial predators who saw the potential of Huizhou commercial market have rushed to the west of the beach bridge. After four years of development, with the opening of Liri Shopping Plaza, Xihu Store, Wanjia Department Store, Baijia Supermarket, Century Lianhua, Feiyue Rainbow Department Store and Times Department Store, Qiaoxi has become a veritable commercial center in Huizhou, attracting most consumers in Huizhou. It can be said that every corner of Qiaoxi will be a mature and prosperous place for businesses to compete for.
Relevant data show that in 2006, the estimated operating income of Qiaoxi tertiary industry reached 4.52 billion yuan. This figure makes Qiaoxi firmly sit on the throne of the total tax revenue of towns and sub-district offices in Huicheng District.
As early as 1979, Qiaoxi signed the first agreement with Hong Kong businessmen on foreign cooperation in processing sweaters. With the establishment of Hong Kong Xingye Knitting Factory, Qiaoxi opened the door to attracting investment, and various "three to one supplement" enterprises took root in new areas such as lace ridge and wheat field. It was not until the mid-1990s that Qiaoxi implemented the industrial transfer strategy, and these factories, which were initially considered "not conducive to urban development", moved out of Qiaoxi one after another.
The disappearance of the factory does not mean that Qiaoxi gave up industry. On the contrary, Qiaoxi has taken a new road of "attracting investment without land" and settled the attracted projects in other towns (street offices) to realize resource sharing and complementary advantages.
At present, there are projects introduced by Qiaoxi in Sandong, Chen Jiang, Xiaojinkou, Henan, Ruhu and Shuikou towns (street offices) in Huicheng District. As the only Qiaoxi Sub-district Office in Huizhou without rural areas, in 2006, * * * introduced two domestic and foreign-funded projects 12, and the total contractual utilization funds165.438+0.6 billion yuan, ranking among the top towns and sub-district offices in Huicheng District. Among the newly introduced projects, there are three with investment exceeding 100 million yuan: Kempinski Hotel, Dijing Century Shopping Plaza and Xinyijia Supermarket.
In Qiaoxi, many restaurants famous for Hakka cuisine, it is precisely because their Dongjiang salted baked chicken, Dongjiang fermented bean curd and braised pork with plum vegetables are authentic that Huizhou people will remember their hotel names, and even tourists who come to Huizhou will remember Huizhou. Just walk into a restaurant that cooks Hakka dishes, and the chef can cook these three dishes for you. Visitors from other places come to Huizhou for nothing without trying these three dishes.
There are many star-rated hotels in the west of the bridge, where luxury feasts and street snacks complement each other.
