There is a real old street in Ningbo with beautiful scenery, a long history and profound cultural heritage. The block is well protected, but neglected in management, and few people come here to play.
This old street has not been commercialized so far, and the historical block is original and worth visiting.
This old street is located in Song 'ao Town, Fenghua District, Ningbo City. It was supervised by members of the Li family of Jinshi and Songao Haiyan Village in Yuan Dynasty after their retirement in their later years.
The whole street was built for two years, and the street was paved with bricks made of clay, hence the name Brick Street.
At that time, the brick street had disappeared in the smoke of history, and the existing market was later rebuilt, known as Songao Old Street.
Song 'ao Old Street in history has always been the commercial center in the southeast of Fenghua, until the end of the 20th century, it gradually declined and finally faded out of the historical stage.
Now Songao Town has built prosperous commercial streets on both sides of Zhenxing Road, and Songao Old Street has become a market that almost no one cares about.
Although the old buildings in Song 'ao Old Street are abandoned, they are well preserved.
Now, when you walk into Song 'ao Old Street, you can see a main street connected with more than a dozen winding hutongs, with shops on both sides of the street.
Almost all these shops are closed, but the signs or slogans on the facade and the political slogans of the last century are still clearly discernible.
Slightly vicissitudes of the shops exude a strong flavor of the times, and almost every shop has a story that comes to the fore.
These streets and lanes include historical sites or landscapes such as Houzhai, Dongzhai, Zhuo's former residence, Zhuo Lanfang Memorial Hall, Zhuo's Ancestral Hall, Jingyue Temple, Meihua Park and Red Cultural Park.
Among them, Dongzhai, also known as Qingyuetang, commonly known as Steven, was built by Zhuodi Gongguan during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty. Because Zhuo Di Gong was not prosperous, he took Qing as his name.
The plaque of Qingyuetang was inscribed by the Kuomintang veteran and Chiang Kai-shek's teacher.
The gate of Dongfu is paved with stones shaped like shoes and boots, which are called shoes and boots stones.
There are few foreign tourists in Song 'ao Old Street, which makes the neighborhood look quaint and quiet.
The historic old houses on both sides of the street give people a deep sense of the times, and people can't help recalling their childhood or the movie pictures of the last century.
It is also because there are few people that the old things in the old house are hardly destroyed. Wandering around here is more interesting than other newly built old streets.
In the 20th century, Song 'ao Old Street was not only in a glorious period, but also had beautiful scenery. There are eight scenic spots in Songxi, such as the verdant Nanshan, Lingfeng Qingchu, Hongdou, Mingxia, the beautiful scenery behind the screen, the sunset in Huanglong, the Sanskrit in the cave and the flying snow in Yingang.
Zhuo Cipei, a native of Houshan Village, Songao, wrote eight poems about these eight sights in the early years of the Republic of China.
These eight landscapes are hard to distinguish, but the surrounding scenery is really beautiful.
There are streams at both ends of the old street, and Yinshan Mountain and Baiyan Mountain are in the north. Standing by the stream in Song 'ao Town, you can see the windmill standing on the most beautiful windmill road in Baiyan Mountain.
There is a plum blossom park next to Song 'ao Old Street, which is very beautiful when it blooms and has become a famous plum blossom viewing resort in Ningbo.
Compared with Nantang Old Street and Hanling Old Street, which Ningbo focuses on, Songao Old Street looks very mottled.
It is said that Song 'ao Town is also trying to explore this tourism resource, and has started the renovation project of Song 'ao Old Street, and decided to focus on "coastal countryside and Yang Kang New Town" to create a tourist boutique route.
It is hoped that the reconstructed Song 'ao Old Street can maintain its original ancient charm.
Song 'ao Town is far away from Ningbo City and Fenghua City, but there is a direct bus to Song 'ao Old Street at Jinhai Road subway station, which takes about 30 minutes, so it is very convenient to go and play.
On the other hand, Song 'ao Old Street is quiet, but Song 'ao New Street is bustling with supermarkets, shops, restaurants and hotels.
If backpackers come here to play, they don't have to worry about eating, drinking and living.
