The super film-producing retro style, the old street leading to the sea

Beihai strolling, old street photography. It's really comfortable to come to Guangxi in winter, the temperature here is very warm, walking in short sleeves on the old street, walking and taking pictures, recording the current appearance of this once glorious Nanyang style arcade old street. Street photography is really great, you can get beautiful pictures with a strong "German flavor" in minutes, it's really lovely! ❤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. 🕙Opening hours: 09:00-21:30 🎫Admission: Free 📍Detailed address: Inside Beihai Old Town, Zhuhai Road, Haicheng District, Beihai City 🚉Transportation strategy: Bus 23 - People's Theatre (Peace Road Hospital Area of the City People's Hospital) station, walk 615 meters to arrive Bus 1 - Beihai No.1 Middle School station, walk 1.0 kilometers to arrive Bus 8 - Haicheng District No.2 Primary School station, walk 1.0 kilometers to arrive
