Taizhou Old Street is next to Gu Yue Building, so you can stop by after breakfast. A magnificent archway stands in front of the old street, and the couplets on the front of the archway read: "Zhao Puchu said that Yunzhou was built in the Southern Tang Dynasty, Wenchang in the Northern Song Dynasty; Lin Sanzhi wrote "Huaihai Famous District in Ancient County of Han and Tang Dynasties" and criticized the word "Old Street" horizontally. This couplet also made clear the historical changes and geographical location of Taizhou.
Taizhou Old Street is a relatively young alley in Ming and Qing Dynasties. After two years' development, the antique buildings in rural land in Taizhou have made Taizhou, a famous city in Jianghuai, reappear its bustling scene, and the secular life and culture of Hailing City for thousands of years reappear before people's eyes, truly allowing the "old business" to continue here and the "old craft" to revive here.
Actually, Taizhou Old Street is not a historical old street in the traditional sense. It only started construction in 27. It took only two years for Taizhou Old Street to become the most prosperous business district in Taizhou, and a large number of intangible cultural heritage inheritors, art collectors and some local traditional time-honored brands settled in.
walking into the ancient mashi street, there are many shops on both sides of yingjie street, and strings of red lanterns are hung all over the arcade promenade. In this dimly lit night, shops and banners set each other off as if they had gone to the prosperity of the past.
Walking slowly along the old street, you will soon come to an open Little Square. At the southern end of the square is an ancient theater, but the stage is occupied by merchants taking photos in ancient costumes, and it has become a platform for charging for taking photos. However, during festivals, opera performances will be arranged here to create an atmosphere. There are many street life in the old days on the east street of the ancient theater, such as the bronze carving of traditional popcorn, the ancient stone mill and so on. The leisure of the old life is staged every day in this old street.
Next to the stage is a quiet stream, in which stands a huge waterwheel. The speed of water flow can't drive the waterwheel to rotate, but the quiet waterwheel is also much more beautiful under the neon decoration.
Foreign friends in the same trade like this style of old street very much, so take a photo.
In this 6-meter-long street, the "old trade" continues here, the "old craft" revives here, and the "old taste" is renamed here. Visiting the old streets is actually more about looking for delicious food on the tip of the tongue, such as "Huangqiao Sesame Cake", "Taizhou Dried Silk", "Jingjiang Tangbao", "Eight Fresh Foods in Qinhu Lake", "Red Hairy Crab" and so on.
