Xiaoxian's daughter's self-statement

Hey, friends, let's just say something a little, I'm Kui, one of my favorite names: Sister Kui Kui ~ a little fairy born in the 1995 generation. She now lives in Yangzhou. She likes to climb mountains, read books on rainy days, and likes to eat and drink. I like to appreciate everyone and things that really exist, and of course, I love the travel that everyone expects.

In the past three years, I have been to many places, but I only left photos with memories. From today on, I will share the beauty I have encountered with all my friends who want to travel in the form of words, pictures, music, etc., due to changes in my work, my travel will be updated from time to time, and all my friends are very welcome to share with me the interesting things during your trip.

Of course, every part of the tour not only contains my story, but also dry goods from the scenic spots. Hurry up and sit on a small bench and listen carefully.

Yangzhou, I believe the most unfamiliar place is Dongguan Street. This time, let me take you to listen to the voices of the past and once again feel the charm of Dongguan Street with a strong human touch.

* My story with attractions *

Dongguan Street in Yangzhou is an indispensable place to visit when visiting Yangzhou. In the past three years, Dongguan Street has been the place I have visited the most. Whenever a friend comes to me to play, I will definitely bring my friends to eat and drink. Time flies, and Dongguan Street is still a commercial center in Yangzhou, bringing together local handicrafts, specialty snacks and time-honored commercial brands with strong traditional colors. At that time, you could still enter and visit the city gate. When you looked at the city gate, you could see the entire Dongguan Street, which was by no means known as the "No. 1 Commercial Port in Southeast China".

Dongguan Street is even more charming at night. Every household lights up lanterns. The whole street is particularly charming under the light. Vendors sell a variety of Yangzhou snacks and specialties at moderate prices. You can choose according to your preferences. It's good to eat it yourself or give it to your family and friends.

Charming * Street *

Arriving at Dongguan Street, Caiyi Street in the west and Dongguan Street in the east are all places visited by tourists.

"The streets and alleys of Yangzhou are narrow, and they seem small and quiet in the narrowness."

Yangzhou streets and alleys have three distinctive characteristics:

First, it is numerous and strange. After textual research, there are 108 streets and alleys crisscrossing, extending in all directions, connected end to end, and strange in an area of less than one square kilometer;

Secondly, it is short and narrow. The general street width is about three meters, and the roadway width is only one to two meters.

The length is roughly between one to two hundred meters and fifty to sixty meters, and the shorter one is only twenty to thirty meters. The narrower alleys are less than one meter wide and are figuratively called "One-Person Alley". Therefore, a folk saying goes: "One person in the alley, one person in the alley, and one person walking and one person giving way";

The third is that it is curved and secluded, with different lengths. Streets and alleys of large and small are winding, with alleys and alleys that are set in each other, winding and winding, and the inside and outside are connected. Therefore, there is a folk song in Yangzhou City: "Yangzhou City, the alleys are deep, households are door-to-door, and there is a family inside and outside the door. Open the door in the morning and ask in the morning. Although the alleys are narrow and don't hinder people, the passers-by should be polite." I must go to the main road every year. It is very comfortable to eat and drink. Nowadays, many new foods have emerged with many taste choices ~

Kindly * Market Sculpture *

Street shoe repairmen, barber masters, knife sharpener, rickshaw drivers... Dongguan Street carries street sculptures that reflect the elements of old Yangzhou, attracting citizens and tourists to stop and watch.

According to Song Liqin, the designer of the work, this group of street sculptures is divided into images such as "shoe repair", Yangzhou's "three knives" and "rickshaw man". "These six groups of cast copper sculptures are carved against the background of real market life in old Yangzhou a hundred years ago. Every time I bring friends here, I will touch the sculpture and feel the most authentic life in the market. You can see everything when you come to Dongguan Street ~ Observe carefully!
