I accidentally found a good place to play today

That is "Kunming Old Street"

This ancient street hidden in the downtown area

It adds a little ancient charm to the city

The existing streets and alleys in Old Street were formed in the Ming and Qing Dynasties

Walking in the ancient alleys

Stepping on the bluestone slabs of the Ming and Qing Dynasties

It has a special ancient charm

There are also the Monument to the People's Heroes and the Victory Hall of the Anti-Japanese War in the ancient alley

But it's not open. It's only outside the door to pay tribute to the heroes.

The one with the most ancient historical charm is "Qianwang Street"

Why is it called King Qian?

It originated from a man named Wang Chi

His statue is still on Qianwang Street

King of Qian Wang Chi

Wang Chi (1836-1903), also known as Xingzhai, was born in Hongxi, Mile County, Yunnan Province. A red-top businessman (referring to official merchants) ranked first in feudal society in China. People call it the "King of Money". When he was young, he fought and killed his cousin Jiang Geng and fled to Chongqing, Sichuan. He joined forces with merchants traveling in Chongqing and Yunnan to form a joint venture with the "Tianshunxiang" firm to trade with Sichuan and Yunnan. Later, he established a joint venture with Xi Maozhi to open the "Tong Qingfeng" firm in Kunming. After several years of operation, he became a wealthy businessman in central Yunnan.

The British "Times" once counted the richest people in the world in the past century, and Wang Chi ranked fourth. Moreover, he is the only Chinese person on the list.

Walking here, you can feel the strong historical atmosphere

Blue bricks and black tiles, green trees and blue sky

Let people here feel a little more peace in their hearts

There is also a time-honored brand "Fulintang" here

Monopoly authentic Yunnan medicinal materials

There are teahouses and cafes here

Flowers, grass, little fish on the street corner

It's also a kind of sentiment

Ginkgo tree next to the archway in Kunming Old Street

The leaves are gradually turning yellow

As soon as the white dew passes, the night is cold and the day is hot

Autumn is not far away

This teahouse feels like a peaceful place from the entrance

Qianwang Street Entrance

Enjoy the cool under the big tree and drink tea

Watching passers-by come and go

It's a pleasure

What I like most is this alley

White walls and gray tiles on both sides

The eaves at the corner of the house are blue sky and white clouds

A simple atmosphere comes to your face

The cornices at the corner of the house complement the blue sky

Brick walls in the alley

Compared to cold reinforced concrete

More simple and gentle

Although rotten wood cannot be carved

But there is nothing useless in this world

Only when placed in the right position can its value be reflected

Dead wood is also useful

What's rare is that there is such a quiet place in the center of the city

It's a surprise.
