Model Lane: A hidden corner of history and art.

👣Every street and alley in Quanzhou's ancient city hides countless stories, and today we're going to explore Model Lane, a place that carries the dreams of heroes and the emotions of literati!🌟 🔍Model Lane was once the station of the famous anti-Japanese general Yu Dayou. He and his soldiers bravely resisted the enemy and protected the peace of the area. In memory of this national hero, this alley was named "Model Lane", and it still retains that unyielding fighting spirit and pride!💪 🌳Continuing on, you'll find the small Shanzhong Bamboo Park hidden deep in the alley. This was once the place where Zhu Xi, a great scholar of the Southern Song Dynasty, lectured, and it was also a bamboo forest he planted himself. Today, the bamboo forest is still lush, the pavilions and towers are quaint, and as you stroll through it, you can almost hear the sound of reading from a thousand years ago, and your soul is filled with an unprecedented sense of peace and purification.🍃 🎨Model Lane is not only a witness to history, but also a cradle of art. It is home to many artists, whose works shine in the galleries and studios in the alley. In particular, the paintings of Yang Xinrong, a national first-class artist, each express deep emotions for this land, making people stop and admire, and lose themselves in them.🖼️ 🏠Walking in Model Lane, you will also find many unique villa buildings. They are representative of the Overseas Chinese Second Village and bear witness to the glorious history of Quanzhou's overseas Chinese affairs. These villas not only have elegant exteriors, but also carry the deep nostalgia of overseas wanderers for their hometown.🏡 🌈Model Lane is not just a street, it is a microcosm of Quanzhou's history and culture, and a shared memory of heroes and literati. Here, you can feel the weight of history and appreciate the charm of art. If you come to Quanzhou, why not slow down and step into Model Lane, and let your soul find its own story on this ancient and vibrant land.🚶‍♂️💭
