❤Recommended reason:
Beihai Old Street is full of history and vicissitudes, it is a witness to China's Maritime Silk Road, it is an old street with nearly two hundred years of history, founded in 1821, originally called Shengping Street, only 200 meters long and 4 meters wide. With the continuous development of various historical periods, it has now become a commercial old street with a length of 1.44 kilometers and a width of 9 meters, with all the buildings along the street being Sino-Western arcade-style buildings.
The Beihai Old Street, carrying memories, crosses a century and shows the fireworks in the long river of history. Most of the buildings in Beihai are two to three stories high, mainly influenced by Western columnar architecture, with the window tops on both sides of the street being arch structures, and the outer edges of the arches and the tops of the window columns are decorated with carved lines, which are smooth and exquisitely crafted.
The different styles of decorations and reliefs on the street-facing walls form two groups of aerial sculpture corridors in the north and south. The arcade part of these buildings facing the street is both an extension of the road to both sides and an extension of the shop front to the outside. People walking under the arcade can shelter from the wind and rain as well as avoid the scorching sun; the square columns of the arcade are thick and heavy, with a style reminiscent of ancient Roman architecture.
Today's old street has been developed into a characteristic commercial street, selling various goods, and you can also eat various local delicacies such as spicy snails, shrimp cakes, pig's trotter noodles, etc. Strolling on the old street, you can also feel a different kind of market atmosphere: the elderly humming tunes while shaking a palm fan on a recliner, residents gathering together to eat, chat, play cards, etc., all of which can become the subject of photographers' lenses.

I went to Beihai for a business trip and took some time to visit the old street. The old street was very hot and sun-dried during the day. It was not a general sun. I personally think that the old street is in the environment. You can walk around and take pictures of the riding building. There are some historical attractions to visit, but there are not many restaurants to choose from, some snack bars, Drink shops and places to eat seafood, because at that moment I took the time to order food, there was not much time to eat well, just wanted to eat a simple meal, it felt very difficult to find the place I liked.
Now people see the old street pattern formed around 1927, when the west wind gradually east, localized buildings mixed with Western architectural concepts, Chinese and Western combination, unique. Standing on the street and looking into the distance, the two or three-story brick and wood mixed riding building is high and low, mainly gray and white, there is not much cumbersome decoration and fine carving, the overall look bright and simple, for tourists, strange and with a little kindness
There is a deep historical precipitation, mainly in the south of the riding building, there are some Western-style buildings, now mainly local specialty shops, you can come and hang out when you have nothing to do, but there are many tourists on holidays, especially at night.
The century-old street in the North Sea is very long, shopping for a long time, the building of the house about 200 years of history, when the first sight was called Shengping Street, now the gate of the old street is also written, the architectural shape is the British, French, German and other countries of the consulate Western column influence. The old street has a strong commercial scope. It sells various Guangxi and Vietnamese specialties. The price is civilian. It is not as high as the price in other urban scenic spots. The bosses are more enthusiastic and can help mail it home after purchasing. The Li Aunt shrimp cake in the old street is delicious. There are many shrimps. Coconut Frozen is my favorite, $15. We came here to stay at the nearby Pearl Bay Seaview Hotel. I especially recommend this hotel. It is very convenient to walk to the old street and the beach. I like his sea view single room the most. The sea is very good. The room is large and the bed is very comfortable. The hotel has a butler service. It will give a lot of opinions to help us go out to play. The main price is cheap, this hotel is very cost-effective, recommend friends to stay.
