The topic of this issue: An Internet celebrity street in Sichuan, although it is a "fake ancient building", it has so many tourists that it is comparable to the "Sleepless City of the Tang Dynasty". Originally, Qingming Festival was a festival for mourning, but now it has gradually become a day for traveling during a short holiday.
However, Qingming originally had the tradition of "climbing high and going for an outing".
The just-passed Qingming Festival holiday can be said to have been a warm-up for May Day travel. Many scenic spots were full.
Since the beginning of the epidemic at the end of the Year of the Rat, the overall tourism industry has been relatively sluggish.
In particular, the epidemic tends to relapse as soon as winter comes, which makes many people who want to choose to travel in winter "suffocate" at home.
It can be said that Qingming gives everyone an opportunity to travel.
No, an "Internet Celebrity Street" in Sichuan has become popular. Although the street is full of "fake ancient buildings", there are so many tourists that it can rival the "Sleepless City of the Tang Dynasty".
This is - Meishan Water Street.
Meishan Water Street can be said to be a phenomenon-level explosion of popularity, just like Xi'an's "Datang Everlasting City", because of the performance of "Little Sister Daruma", people all over the country suddenly became aware of it.
Although Meishan Water Street is not as famous as the "City that Never Sleeps in the Tang Dynasty", it will copy and paste its success to create the "City that Never Sleeps in the Song Dynasty".
The full name of Meishan Water Street is Meishan Dongpo Water Street. It is located in Meishan Dongpo Urban Wetland Park in Sichuan Province.
It was established in September 2019 and officially opened to tourists in May last year.
The biggest difference from "The City that Never Sleeps in the Tang Dynasty" is that the City that never sleeps in the Tang Dynasty is imitated from the Tang Dynasty, while this place is imitated from the Song Dynasty.
In fact, both created the two most prosperous dynasties in the history of our country. Not only did the economy develop well, but the people lived happily and were rarely troubled by war.
Therefore, the business development in the market is good.
Meishan Water Street is only 1,500 meters long, but if you are there, it will be packed with tourists because of the popularity.
Regardless of the length of 1,500 meters, walking is very difficult and can be said to be a rush of people.
It is divided into three parts from south to north.
Including Dongpo Impression Water Street, Chuancheng Water Street, and Dongpo Li Water Street.
The most popular one is crossing Chengshui Street.
Here you can experience the bustling commercial streets, the style inns with deep courtyards, and the winding winds of the entire water street. You can also see dance performances by classical beauties, listen to sweet music, and other immersive experiences.
There are also several "Hanfu" experience centers built here.
You can wear traditional clothes and take photos and check in in the water street, as if you have traveled back to the Song Dynasty.
Although Meishan Water Street is well constructed, the flow of people is also very large, and it has already become a "phenomenal" explosion.
But it has to be said that there are still some problems in the scenic spot.
First, there are many delicacies and snacks, but they are not the most authentic ones in Meishan and are more commercialized.
In fact, everyone has gradually accepted the high price. Because it is in a scenic spot, food is relatively expensive. If you can't accept it, you can choose not to buy it.
But if you want to be truly popular, you still have to pay attention to whether the food is delicious and authentic, so that people will connect back and forth and promote business development.
Second, parking is too difficult.
Many people now drive to Meishan Water Street.
However, due to the large flow of people, there are not enough parking spaces in the parking lot, which causes parking problems.
And the scenic spot also stipulates that Meishan local license plate Sichuan Z is not allowed to park in the scenic spot during holidays.
However, this still reduces the tourist experience. It is just right to increase the size of the parking lot to a certain extent.
In fact, if problems are found in scenic spots, they must actively rectify them. After all, it is very easy for a scenic spot to become popular for a while, but if it can remain popular, it will be a reflection of its true strength.
