In Gongyuan Street, Chengdu.
According to Baidu Encyclopedia query, Chengdu Gongyuan Street forms an intersection with the original Sanqiao North Street, Dongyu Street, and Xiyu Street. Its south entrance is connected to Sanqiao North Street, and its north entrance is only about 40 meters away from the all-stone archway of "Seek Tribute for the Country" outside the Imperial City Gate. Before the 1950s, it was the concentration of Hui people's restaurants. Because people living near the old imperial city habitually call Gongyuan Street "Imperial City Dam", its correct name has been forgotten by people.

The origin of the Hui people can be traced back to the Tang Dynasty. Academic circles generally believe that the Hui people were roughly formed in the Ming Dynasty, while the Yuan Dynasty was the preparatory period for the formation of the Hui people, and the Ming Dynasty was the period when the Hui people were finally formed. The Hui people in various places also participated in the struggle against imperialist aggression in different forms. The May 4th Movement and the establishment of the Communist Party of China pointed the way for the complete liberation of the Hui people. No matter in politics, economy, or culture, the Hui people have had many outstanding figures in history, and they have made positive contributions to people's lives and production and construction at that time. According to the "China Statistical Yearbook-2021", the population of the Hui ethnic group in China (excluding Taiwan Province) is 11,377,914.
