Quanzhou Zhongshan Street

A hub of activity where you will find lots of restaurants and shops to engage in

The buildings on Zhongshan Street also retained the traditional style of Nanyang architecture at the time, the "rider building". Due to the climate characteristics of Southeast Asian countries, the sun was very fierce and often rainstorms fell. So they used the method of living room and corridor to avoid the heat, forming modern commercial and residential buildings.

Zhongshan Road was built in the early 1920s, in the early 20s of the last century, Quanzhou Xianda people proposed to demolish the city to break the long-term closure of Quanzhou ancient city backward situation; in 1924, the north and south streets were all connected; Subsequently, in order to permanently commemorate Mr. Sun Yat-sen, the main streets of cities across the country were named "Zhongshan Road". Quanzhou North and South Street was renamed "Zhongshan Road". Zhongshan Road runs through the ancient city of Quanzhou to the north and south, and it is more than 2 kilometers long, which can be said to be a historical witness of the transition from ancient to modern city construction in Quanzhou. From the original dirt road to the stone road, to the first cement road called Qixian in Quanzhou City, to the later renamed Zhongshan Road, until today, more than 80 years, Zhongshan Road experienced the historical wind and rain. This time I went to Quanzhou and walked the whole Zhongshan Street. There are various buildings. The style is unified, there is Southeast Asian style, some are ordinary arcades, all are shops, electric cars, various daily necessities, can be found in other cities can not buy gadgets.

泉州，信仰之城，这里有佛教的开元寺，道教的关帝庙，儒教的文庙，伊斯兰教的清净寺，天主教的花巷天主堂，妈祖的天后宫，甚至还从莆田手里硬生生夺走了南少林正统之名。若以香火论英雄，关帝庙的信徒们把整条街都堵成了红色，但我更喜欢入夜后人潮褪去的承天寺，有了贾岛笔下「鸟宿池边树，僧敲月下门」的意境，这里还是弘一大师的化身之地。关帝庙外，乞讨者众，但几乎无人掏钱，人们忙着给关老爷磕头敬香，或者在斯丹姜母鸭前为一锅网红认证的姜母鸭比拼耐力；少林寺山道旁是一排民居，家家户户都加装了铁栅栏，虔诚礼佛之地，还有少林武学护体，但谁也不敢放下戒备之心。人，果然是世界上最复杂的情感动物。

晋江的老街非常繁华非常喜欢，值得一去。

泉州出去最闹猛的西街 个人更偏爱西街边的中山街 街面清爽 又少了西街的小吃 街景建筑更漂亮 沿街拍拍看看 尽头就是钟楼 很喜欢此街的风景
