San fang qi xiang . Fuzhou
Hi Steemit.
We visited a traditional area called san fang qi xiang in Fuzhou. It's an old suburb preserved for its traditional houses
This is the main street where you can find lots of food and drinks also some shops selling souvenirs
Small alleys with traditional houses
Kfc in traditional building
Starbucks in Chinese style building
The whole area viewed from a building nearby
One of the few entries to San Fang qi xiang
We spent almost a whole day exploring. The place is quite large with a lot of things to see. Entry to the museums and all traditional houses were free as it was national holiday in China
The animated photos turned out well, the new phone seems like it was very much worth it.
Thank you azfix. Yes it is an excelent phone for my blogs
Hi there. Great photos. It's from smartphone? May I know the brand and type of your phone? Thank you.
Something about the gifs is so mesmerizing
Thank you bitcoinman. I really like the gif function of the phone. It is a good way to capture travel moments
I like it...perfect photos. Yes....I did note the KFC and Starbucks. They have not escaped the reach of the western corporate franchises.
Thank you floridanow. Yes the Chinese like to consume western products too especially german cars
Looks very nice and good to see something historic!
Thank you emilymichelle. Yes it was very nicely preserved place
San fang qi xiang. Fuzhou, it turns out there built traditional Chinese society is still well maintained, and functioned as a place many destinations visited. And I saw the fast food shop KFC, a very unique shop. In contrast to other more modern.
Have a good vacation.
Have a nice day :)
Thank you amuchtar. This was the rich neighborhood during imperial China. It's good they decided to preserve for the next generations to see
Yes, right. the place is very special, and can be said as a supporter of the country's economy and also the cultural arts tourism destination of China.
Looks like you will spend a long time there ?. Lol, :)
Indeed the saying Old is Gold is true. These appear to be very great and strong buildings that have long lived over the years. Great exploration friend @djohan. Your eyes were really entertained with the great sight of all these endowments of fuzhou.
Thank you yohan2on. Yes it is good to preserve some traditional buildings for the next generation to see
@djohan,
Wow friend an old town (a traditional town) but looks very comfortable area to live! Pretty cool collection of photography and this is a great experience of course!
Cheers~
Awesome view. I haven't seen this side of China, just the apartment areas.
Thank you kevbot. Most old houses have been destroyed to build apartments. This suburb was like Beverly Hills of imperial China so they decided preserve it
