The first ancient street in Guangxi is known as the treasure land of "Qinglong White Tiger", where many dignitaries once lived.

Economic and cultural centers are usually in provincial capitals or capital cities, and the most lively streets and lanes are also in provincial capitals. Nanning, the capital of Guangxi, has a bustling tourist block with three streets and two lanes, but the first ancient street in Guangxi is not in Nanning, but in the small town of Guilin, which is the east-west lane next to Jingjiang Wangcheng.

The East-West Alley took shape in the Tang Dynasty, and reached its peak in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. At that time, the capital of Guangxi was not Nanning, but Guilin, and Jingjiang Wangfu was the first-class center in Guangxi in the Ming Dynasty.

The East-West Lane is in front of Zhengyang Gate in Jingjiang Wangcheng. Zhengyang Gate was originally called Duanli Gate, and buildings such as ancestral temples and social altars were built next to it. These buildings disappeared in the war in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. In the Ming Dynasty, Jingjiang Wangcheng was the place where the captaincy Zhu Shouqian and his descendants lived. After the dynasty change, it was changed to Gongyuan by the Qing court.

what is Hiram's hospital? It was the place where the imperial examinations took place, and its status was lofty. In the words of now, the house next to the imperial examination is a proper school district, especially when the imperial examination is in progress, it is very convenient to live next to the imperial examination. At that time, the best land next to Hiram's hospital was basically occupied by dignitaries and celebrities, and it was also a great honor for ordinary people to live in the periphery. During the scientific research, many students and their families flocked to Guilin, which promoted the development of catering, accommodation and other industries in Dongxixiang area. Dongxixiang has also become the most prosperous commercial street in Guangxi, and there are various folk arts and crafts to enjoy.

Jingjiang Wangcheng was changed to Gongyuan, and the Duanli Gate was also changed to Zhenggong Gate. The dignitaries took the lead in building private houses on both sides of Zhenggong Gate, which is also known as "luxury houses" by ordinary people. Later, ordinary people followed the trend and built houses close to the city wall. It was only in Guangxu period that the saying of East-West Lane began to appear.

If you think that there are only two alleys in the East-West Lane, it is actually a commercial street group composed of many alleys, all of which are paved with stone slabs and have a strong sense of the times.

The East-West Lane tourist block includes East Lane, Jiangnan Lane, Lanjing Lane, Renshou Lane, etc. It is called Lane, but it is not narrow. The busiest time here is from dusk to after dark. Why? The reason is very simple, because tourists visit major scenic spots during the day and have time to eat and go shopping at night. As a tourist block with the longest history and the deepest cultural background in Guilin, it is normal for tourists to weave in the east and west lanes.

East-West Lane has a superior geographical position, and was once known as the treasure land of Qinglong and Baihu. Qinglong White Tiger Land is an ideal blessed place in ancient geomantic omen in China. It is said that people who live here have good luck in fame and fortune, and can have a smooth career.

Here, Qinglong refers to the Lijiang River. Its meandering posture is like a dragon. The dragon needs to be launched, and the Lijiang River is just a natural "stroke of genius". After talking about Qinglong, let's talk about Baihu, which refers to the road along the west side of East-West Lane.

Feng Shui sounds mysterious. Believe it or not, people have different opinions, but it brings a lot of talk to the people, at least in this respect, it is interesting.
