Doumen Ancient Street Review

Built in the early years of the Republic of China, the Western-style arcade-based commercial street, located in Zhuhai Doumen, more than 40 kilometers from the city, very Republic of China style, usually not many tourists, very suitable for punching in the net red place.

It is 50km from Zhuhai City. It is a Nanyang riding building built in the early years of the Republic of China. It has a taste of the Republic of China. There are many TV dramas here. It likes a good place for nostalgia and a good place for weekends.

Doumen Ancient Street is located in Doumen Town, at the southern end of the Pearl River Delta, in the northwest of Doumen District, Zhuhai City, east of Huangyang Mountain, west of Tiger Jumping Gate Waterway. Doumen Ancient Street, the main building integrates the unique arcade style of Chinese and Western architecture, so that the ancient street stands out in Doumen's buildings, the height of the shop is basically one, the specifications are similar, the exterior walls and corridor ceilings are decorated with bricks such as flower shapes and geometric patterns. The ancient street of Doumen, which combines Chinese and Western, can be seen vaguely as a commercial street and its former prosperity. The reason why Doumen Ancient Street can have this scene today is from 1850, when some architects, priests and other religious people from Macau, China, and Canada often visited and lived in Doumen Town. Due to the rapid development of the trade industry, the buildings of the old street in the town could not meet the needs of development. So foreign merchants and local rich merchants began to build streets and houses. In this case, Canadian architectural engineer Jia Liwei and others coordinated planning and design, and attracted the essence of classical architecture in Europe and the United States. From the end of the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th century, more than 10 cloth shops, including Guangyingxiang, Dachang, Xiangsheng, and many department stores, Chinese medicine stores, Mipu, Qianzhuang. In addition to the shops, Christianity also built the Gospel Church, and Catholicism built a church on the second floor of the German-style building. These buildings constitute the whole picture of the ancient street of the Qing Dynasty in Doumen Town, making it the only ancient street in Zhuhai that is currently more complete. Although the ancient street is not the bustling of the past, it also retains some historical and cultural charm in the ruins of the broken wall.

No tickets are charged, but as a Cantonese, there are more riding buildings, which is not too special. A short street, we arrived at noon on Saturday, saw the small parking lot outside the street full of cars, the roadside was also parked a lot, no one managed, finally drove forward, turned around the alleys and stopped a row of roadsides, and walked hundreds of meters before stopping. There are parking spaces on the side of the road. I don’t want to be copied. I parked and walked back to the old street, but there were few people on the street. There is not much to sell, there is no restaurant, there is a firewood pot to cook noodles, many people, and a good business for Taipa rice. There are also snacks such as oyster paste, not much. My companion was afraid of many people. We randomly ordered a wonton noodles and a dumpling rice in a restaurant with few people. The taste was really ordinary. After eating, we went back and bought a duck grab bag. In fact, it was a duck grab with dried bamboo shoots. It was always steamed in the dumpling. It is said to be "intangible" 😄
