1. Hanzheng Street Commercial District exists between the "high-end and classy" Wuguang Commercial District and the "fashionable and trendy" Jianghan Road Commercial District, making Hanzheng Street increasingly noisy and crowded.
Its decline is not due to lack of popularity or business, but with the development of urban planning, it has increasingly lost space for survival in the core of the city, and relocation and renovation have become inevitable choices.
Hanzheng Street is famous far and wide and is known as the "No. 1 Street in the World". This is due to its more than 500 years of commercial history and dock culture.
Hanzheng Street starts from Youyi South Road in the east, Qiaokou Road in the west, Yanhe Avenue in the south, and Zhongshan Avenue in the north.
The Hanzheng Street business district we often mention is the section from Youyi South Road to Wusheng Road.
There are 13,200 self-employed households, and the market has an average daily flow of 160,000 people, and up to 200,000 people in peak season - in its glory days, such numbers represented Hanzheng Street.
Ten major professional markets, including clothing, leather goods and bags, household appliances, footwear, ceramics, cloth, haberdashery, plastics, handicrafts, and non-staple foods, are densely populated on both sides of the street.
However, with the advancement of Wuhan's municipal planning and construction, the Hanzheng Street business district, located in the core area of ??Hankou, seems somewhat out of place.
To the south is Wuhan's taller Wuguang business district, and to the east is the Jianghan Road business district, a trendy resort where young people gather. Hanzheng Street has a population of tens of thousands moving around every day, making it crowded and noisy.
2. When the Zhongjiacun business district was mapped, it barely scored 7 points, including Carrefour and Wal-Mart.
The Hanyang section of Metro Line 4 has been open to traffic for half a year, but Zhongjiacun still only has the original three shopping malls that can handle it, and the popularity is all Carrefour. How embarrassing!
When the Hanyang section of Metro Line 4 opened to traffic, the media cheered that "Zhongjiacun will take advantage of the opportunity to take off"; when the Second Ring Line opened to traffic, they once again cheered that "Zhongjiacun will be reborn"... It can be said that "resurrection", "rebirth" and "rise"
Positive words like these have been surrounding the Zhongjiacun business district in recent years. However, no matter how high the outside world places high hopes, the Zhongjiacun business district “will remain unmoved.”
Since the 1950s, with the opening of the First Jianghan Bridge and the Yangtze River Bridge, the Zhongjiacun business district began to rise.
Over the past few decades, increasingly convenient transportation and mature supporting facilities have made Zhongjia Village a complete and mature old business district in Hanyang.
Until the end of the last century, the Zhongjiacun business district was unique and dominated Hanyang for nearly half a century.
However, the convenience of transportation has also brought about a diversion of popularity.
Due to its proximity to Hankou's Wuguang Business District and Jianghan Road Business District, many Hanyang people began to choose to go shopping in Hankou after travel became more convenient. The Zhongjiacun Business District lost its former glory.
After Carrefour and Hanshang Group's 21st Century Shopping Center settled in Wangjiawan, the Wangjiawan business district began to grow explosively. Today, Ocean Department Store, Haitian Happy Shopping, and Wuhan Moore City have also become the reasons why Hanyang people choose to shop in Wangjiawan.
After the second phase of Metro Line 4 was opened to traffic at the end of 2014, Chuhe Han Street became another choice for Hanyang people to go shopping.
In addition, Jingkai Aeon will also open at the end of this year.
Faced with double attacks from the outside (the major business districts in Hankou and Wuchang) and from the inside (Wangjiawan Business District and Jingkai Business District), what is the future of Zhongjiacun Business District?
From the information that has been disclosed so far, we can see that the Zhongjiacun business district will have a new addition in the future - Fuxing Huiyu Hanyang City's business plan has been released.
According to the plan, Hanyang Old Town Scenic Area starts from Hanyang Avenue in the north, ends at Banjiang Road in the south, is bounded by Binjiang Avenue in the east, and along Parrot Avenue in the west. The total land area is 72.45 hectares. Its dominant properties are commercial, historical and cultural pedestrian streets, and residences.
Among them, the planned layout of Area A is a commercial pedestrian street with unique Hubei residential characteristics, forming two main streets and a group of six courtyards, mainly 2-3 storeys of commercial buildings; Area B has a 5-story building and some 6-story large concentrated businesses;
Area C is designed to be a 31-story, partially 3-4-story office and commercial complex with a building height of 150 meters.
3. Jianghan Road Commercial District When talking about Jianghan Road Pedestrian Street, the editor is really sad. I remember that when I was studying in Wuhan, Jianghan Road was the dominant one.
When I talk about shopping, I think of Jianghan Road.
However, with the development of society, the nearby Wuhan International Plaza continued to bombard the Wuhan commercial market.
However, Jianghan Road Pedestrian Street is still the same as before, with nothing new.
Every time I visit the pedestrian street, I feel that there is really nothing to do and there are too few choices.
Mainly, there are still a lot of people!
It's very crowded!
For example, the products in Dayang Department Store are really high-end but not as good as Wuguang. They are cheaper but not as good as Hanzheng Street.
Hankou was a very prosperous place during the Republic of China, and Jianghan Road opened up commerce based on the buildings of the Republic of China period and became the most distinctive commercial street in Wuhan, with a hint of retro in the modern.
Since the construction of the Jianghan Road subway station started in 2010, the passenger flow in the Jianghan Road business district has shown a trend of shifting westward. Wanda Plaza, Fujing, and People's Paradise have been strung together in a line, and the flow of people has become denser.
Jianghan Road has always been proud of its popularity. Even in 2014, the Wuhan Municipal Government closed Zhongshan Avenue for two years due to planning, which involved the most popular Jianghan Road section. However, it is not difficult to see that every Saturday and Sunday,
There was still a bustling flow of people there.
Corresponding to the surge in popularity, the business structure of Jianghan Road Pedestrian Street is relatively single, which is also an important factor in its "decline".
