Beihai Centennial old street 北海百年老街

in #photography6 years ago

This is a over hundred- year- old street in Beihai,Guangxi province. Walking in the street , you will see both sides with unique Chinese and Western arcade style buildings. All kinds of shops along the street have witnessed the prosperity of old street.

The old street was formed around 1927, but its history can be traced back to the middle of the nineteenth Century. Since then, a number of western buildings have been built in Beihai. After half a century of cultural integration, it finally formed the arcade old street that we saw today. The arcade Chinese and Western, is a beautiful crystal of the East West cultural collision.

Walking on the old street, you can see the old people sitting on the side of the door, and their eyes were as calm and peaceful as the deep old lane. I have seen the commercial street in Zhouzhuang, the old street in Wuzhen, but I still think Beihai, the old street has more and deeper historical details of culture .

这是广西北海,一条百年老街。走在这条历经风雨的街道上,你会看到两旁是独具特色的中西合璧骑楼式建筑。沿街的各式店铺,见证了老街曾经的繁华。

老街形成于1927年左右,但起源可以追溯到19世纪中叶。自那时起,一批西洋建筑陆续在北海建成,经过半个多世纪的文化融合,最终形成了我们今天所见到的骑楼老街。这些骑楼中西合璧,是东西方文化碰撞的一个美丽的结晶。

走在老街上,随处可见老人们在门边乘凉,他们的眼神和这幽深绵长的老巷一样,平静而安详。我曾经见过周庄的商业街,乌镇的老街,但还是觉得北海老街更具有百年文化深沉的底蕴,那种融在了骨子里的超脱,淡然。
