Guangzhou is full of bustling modern atmosphere, so that those of us younger generation in the trend of vortex spinning all day, every day out of the various shopping malls, diners supermarket, everyone knows Guangzhou Ichii lanes every building, every a quartzite all have a unique story.
This time I walk the line, somewhat to look for historical traces of meaning. A misty rain misty early spring afternoon, I came to Guangzhou Xiguan.
Speaking of the West River Road off zone, most people's minds must have flashed antique jade, rich style streets and marketplaces of ancient incense mixed with Danding breath blowing. Today, no longer with Rd, and because with the municipal planning and development, the original band Rd demolition of part of the pavement, expansion into Kangwang Road, with River Road just to stay in the hearts of the people who reside here. To listen to old people about the history of band Rd: band Rd was originally a river, winding, to row a boat to enter the center of Western customs, and later fill in road construction has been with River Rd, at that time only a very narrow road , while the broad road Kangwang Road today, surging flow of people into another Shangxiajiu Liwan District, following a busy road.
Reached the end of the road to longevity Kangwang Road, a little background in the West as people, can be pointed out that "the West to the beginning of land --- the ancient coast," the exact location of the distant days of Hualin Si buried the story, so that future generations abundant charm. Hua Linsi was once a jungle in Guangzhou, one of the four Buddhist, but the 500 Lohan in "Cultural Revolution" was destroyed in June 1986 to re-open after renovation and remodeling of the 500 fund-raising Lohan portraits.
Hua Linsi still flourishing incense City people who carries a blessing blessed heart is in here, burned incense and bowed Gregorian chant scriptures and enjoy the dust and din of the secular spirit of cleanliness pregnant. Walking in the Hualin Si, the 500 Lohan金身looking at Can-ran, and looked identical but empty one, vividly ring squat temples, silent momentum in the bulk disclosed Buddha Spirit deterrent.
Inter-Ocean, like gestures to convey a character's personality, makes enough to think of the year, "Fochan landing" spectacular scenes.
Longevity is within walking distance from the road went through Baohua Road all the way south, then to the 623 road. 623 Canton Road, can be said to commemorate a particular historical significance Road, June 23, 1925 took place, "Chaki tragedy", 52 workers died of students on this small road, since the liberation of the day, this past The trail is called Chaki renamed "623" road.
Each part has a history of 623 Road, footprints, sand face to face for a new long arcaded Yan, but teach people to miss, and is still 623 before the completion of the viaduct that Chaki Bay side hit to the big banyan shade, and the Chung Ting Zizhou sold inside the boat. 623 Lu is now the most attractive of the Department, but added that the small scale of Chinese medicinal herbs of the Qingping market. Slide along a row of shops that sell Chinese herbal medicine before, all kinds of traditional Chinese medicine everything as small as a common general medicine, the scarcity of large expensive medicine, medicinal smell emitting a strong smell, and finally, I also could not help but stop and say a few recognize a few pounds its own kind of medicine to go home.
