Shantou's retro-style internet-famous street with modern arcade buildings

🏘️If you want to learn about Shantou, you must visit Shantou Xiaogongyuan. It is not only the commercial and cultural center of the old city, but also one of the best-preserved open port areas in China. It is not a park in the narrow sense, but a street with a strong retro style, a mix of different cultures, and a combination of tradition and innovation. ————————— Name: Shantou Xiaogongyuan Address: No. 23, Guoping Road, Jinping District, Shantou City, Guangdong Province Opening hours: All day Tickets: Free ————————— 🏘️Before I came here, I thought Xiaogongyuan was a park, but it turned out to be a street with a strong historical atmosphere. Walking on the street, I felt like I was traveling back in time to the 1930s, experiencing the prosperity of Shantou in a different way. 🌟Unique street layout The Xiaogongyuan Street is centered on the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Pavilion and radiates in a fan shape. Together with the old neighborhoods on both sides, the whole layout gives people a sense of order and geometric beauty. 🌟Unique architectural style As a witness to the economic prosperity of Shantou in the 1930s, the arcade buildings along the Xiaogongyuan Street are a mix of traditional Chaoshan architecture, Nanyang architecture, and European eclecticism. They are elegant and full of historical charm. 🌟Strong commercial atmosphere As the commercial and cultural center of the old city, there are many specialty stores and time-honored brands. You can feel the unique atmosphere and cultural atmosphere of the city when shopping, and enjoy shopping, food, and experience. 🌟Long history Shantou Xiaogongyuan was built in the 1930s and has carried the memories and feelings of many Shantou people. The old neighborhoods have witnessed the changes of the past century, forming a unique historical beauty and witnessing the economic prosperity and historical changes of Shantou. 🏘️As a must-see stop on a trip to Shantou, Xiaogongyuan was a pleasant surprise for me.

Visiting the time-honored brands in the street is also a unique experience.
