What are the urban villages in Xi'an?

There are many urban villages in Xi'an, within the city's third ring road, six districts*** there are 292 "urban villages", of which 187 "urban villages" are in the high-rise buildings surrounded by so many urban villages, the most famous are the following:

Yangjiacun

There are all colleges and universities there, Northwest University of Political Science and Law, Xi'an University of Posts and Telecommunications, Xi'an Foreign Language University, Shaanxi Normal University. >Yangjiacun

Yangjiacun is full of colleges and universities, including the Northwest University of Political Science and Law, Xi'an University of Posts and Telecommunications, Xi'an International Studies University, and Shaanxi Normal University. It is a large student gathering area in Xi'an. Because of the village's favorable location, tenants from this village can be found everywhere on Chang'an South Road, which runs from the stadium in the north to Xiaozhai in the south.

Particularly beautiful female students, handsome boys. There are also traders along the streets, many of whom live in this village. Many students who graduated from the above mentioned school in Xi'an still vaguely remember this village named Yangjiacun which was bustling with activity.

2. Lejuiba

I believe that many people working in the eastern suburbs of Xi'an know a village - Lejuiba, this village is in the west of Jiaotong University, earlier and Dongguan South Street connected to a lot of vendors, all day long hustle and bustle, very lively, like a fair in general.

Now, although it is separated by Xianning Road, but still very lively, as to why the name is called Luji field, it is not clear. Located in the southeast corner of Xi'an's city wall, Lejuiba is a village in the middle of the city surrounded by skyscrapers.

The streets are full of small, simple brick buildings, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, all for rent. The village's arable land has been taken up by the city, and the villagers are left with only the house foundations left behind by their ancestors.

Peasants do not understand the planning of housing, do not understand the design of light, just make hard to build a house, the houses built more and more chaotic, often dozens of families *** with a two-foot wide walkway, walk in which, two arms almost next to the wall.

House more, more people, most of the street is living in the rural areas into the city to work, vendors operating in the southern accent, revealing the city people can not understand the joyful, crowded with the streets and alleys here, living in the attic of the attic building here.

The rent here is very cheap, dozens of square meters, paved with floor tiles of a private room, which has a table, a bed, a stool, a month only a hundred dollars. Say some of the strange things happened in the alley strange things. Here do not have to listen to the radio, do not have to watch TV, every day there are rare things, funny things.

3. Jixiang Village

Always like the name of many places in Xi'an, such as this Jixiang Village, very simple but very nice, Jixiang Village is an urban village in Xi'an, although also live a lot of working youth, students. It is a village in the city of Xi'an, although it is also home to many working youths and students. The village's reputation is so high that it is like a "Little Hong Kong".

Then the construction of the high-tech zone began, the economic development prompted the development of the city, the map of Xi'an is also gradually increasing. In order to facilitate employment, a lot of foreign workers are living in the North Shamen - South Shamen, the two villages all of a sudden fire, and its increasingly strong development in these days is expected to be in the demolition of Shajing Village in the demolition of foreign households all over the acceptance.

Establishing a new southern suburb of "manhole village" in the south and north of the village of Shanmen, concentrated in a large number of engaged in the manual processing of small machine tools in small factories, as small as five or six machine tool factories, as large as 50 or 60 machine tool factories, most of the workers from the village of foreign workers, in order to work near the move to the north of the village of Shanmen. The company's business is based on the idea that it's not just about the business, it's also about the people.

Now Beishanmen is very different from the original, a lot of private houses are being torn down in the building, the new building is 4, 5-story new building, all the area that can be utilized are used.

Inside most of them are 1 room and 1 bathroom with kitchen and bath, and the price has risen to about 300 in January. Now the village of Nan Shan Men and Bei Shan Men, through several public transportation, a lot of working class people who work in Hi-Tech in order to more conveniently close to work, have gathered in these two villages. Population to a large number of people, has been quite influential in the current urban village.

5. Bianjia Village

Bianjia Village can be said to be an old village, which has jurisdiction over the village of Huangyan Village, the University of East Road, five villages in the village of White Temple and other villages. It is a village with independent establishment.

It is also the only cinema named after a village in the urban villages of Xi'an (the Bianjiacun Workers' Cultural Palace is now renamed the Biangong Cinema).

Northwest University in the north, Northwestern Polytechnical University in the west, Xi'an University of Electronic Science and Technology in the south. The area is the largest of all these villages in the city.

The number of students living in the village is high, especially when the three prestigious schools were recruiting self-study, the village is basically overcrowded. Now that the village has been turned into a high-rise, the hustle and bustle of the village is no more. What's left are memories of yesteryear.

6. Yuhua Zhai

Yuhua Zhai has a neolithic site, which was the first inhabited place, farther away from the Bell Tower.

Yuhuazhai used to be desolate, but since the arrival of a foreign affairs college, it gradually began to bustle with restaurants and stores, and bathhouses, grocery stores and birth control stores began to open frequently.

There are many schools in the neighborhood, including the Foreign Affairs College, Bodhi College, Xi'an Agricultural School, and Xi'an No. 52 Middle School! Now go to find the original address has become a high-rise buildings, flat roads, roadside billboards, all of which reveal that a new development plan is eating away at this Yu Hua Zhai, a village in the middle of the city will soon disappear.

7. Tile Hutong

Looking from afar, a large plaque with the inscription "Tile Hutong Village", Tile Hutong village is located under the famous Big Wild Goose Pagoda, north of the Botanical Garden. The Wild Goose Pagoda is famous for the monk's scriptures, and the hutongs are known for their filth. Slightly foreigners walk by, can also sprinkle a lot of surprise.

Two rows of simple houses were erected on the side of the road into the village. Most of the people living in the village are students living together and some freshmen in the workplace. The residents were originally local farmers, but during the expansion of the city, small buildings were built here, rented out to wage earners, unemployed, unmarried cohabitating youths and students who can't tolerate communal living.

Nine out of 10 of the students who come out to rent are young couples, and this place gives them freedom. One local resident later said he liked living here for that reason.

There are a lot of foreigners living here, so there are a lot of small restaurants run by foreigners. Another type of rural migrant worker prefers to eat in the two rows of simple houses propped up on the roadside as they enter the village, known as "sleeping huts" for short. Their dinners are served in the restaurants called "sleeping huts".

Listening to others introduced here are two good restaurants, a do handmade noodles, noodles, olive good, whistle but difficult to get into the throat, pitch-black, sticky hoo-hoo, from time to time, floating some odor, get a little atmosphere, touching the people, the atmosphere can be quite thick, so that there is a kind of long-forgotten touched: eye water, mouth spit.

The other is Hunan people open fried restaurant, taste quite in order, the main fried is a forty towards the top of the small old man, wearing glasses, usually set on the nose, fried very dedicated. Now the Wahutong, the feeling is still the same, not much change, perhaps these urban villages in the preservation of the more complete it.

8. Eight Mile Village

Eight Mile Village, located in the south of Xi'an, is said to be because of eight miles from the city, so the name (a said to be eight miles from the Bell Tower and the name, has not been examined).

It is under the Changyanbao Street Office of Yanta District. The village is located in the north of Yanta West Road, south of Changyanbao, east of Shiyi Factory, and west of Vermilion Bird Street. There are Chang'an Road from the village through, so there are east and west of eight miles. Around the village there are many schools from north to south there are Jiaotong University West, Post and Telecommunications College, School of Politics and Law, Institute of Foreign Languages and so on in order to divide the left and right arranged.

Eight miles of the village, Xi'an, the southern suburbs of the famous urban village, mainly relying on the surrounding college students, the previous security is not very good, but over the years after the installation of a number of monitoring systems and other means of okay. Almost all of them are rented rooms, students, all classes of working people are living here, from the commercial district of Xiaozhai is relatively close.

There are many young men and women who like to live in Bali Village because they can go shopping and work in Xiaozhai at will. How many people live in such a large village that makes its living by renting private houses? No one knows.

Whenever I go to Bali Village, I always see the landlords gathering in groups, talking about family matters, playing mahjong and pushing cards. They seem to be so relaxed -- of course, they don't have much to do except collect rent and utility bills.

These are the idle ones, and there are also those who are busy, all tenants, of course. Late at night, in the cold winter wind, a dozen or so businessmen in heavy winter coats huddled under the dim light, guarding their snack stalls.

When a customer approaches, enthusiasm flows from their frozen faces. Early in the morning, the door of a block building opened, people on the side of the road to grab a little bit of breakfast in passing, rushed to the unit, the school ...... Busy and idle, it is surprising that there is such a harmonious existence here. This is the eight miles of the village, the typical image of the urban village.

9. Shajing Village-Ganjiazhai

Perhaps many people who came to Xi'an to work or go to school after they left from Xi'an, most of them can remember this name - Shajing Village. The residents here are so big and connected to Ganjiazhai and Xujiazhuang, with heaps of stores and liquor stores, and the unique scenery of a village in the middle of the city.

Quite a few students, quite a few "poets", perhaps lovers of poetry, perhaps poor literati, in the lower living conditions of the village of Shajing snail. The rent is cheap, the food is cheap, the bath is cheap, and those who don't like Shajing Village say it's a place where dragons and snakes mix.

Shajing Village also has many stalls selling food. Shajing Village is being annexed by the growing high-tech zone, and many village residents are facing demolition. And live here in the passers-by, have moved to Beishanmen, Sanjiao Village, Shuangqiaotou and other places, in these places again to shape a new manhole village. But the flavor of manhole village has remained in the hearts of the guests.

10. Shapo - Huangpuzhuang

About Shapo, it can be said that it is almost the real index of Xi'an and even the whole society.

Xi'an, an ancient city, has many relics and cultural relics, and even the flow of people coming and going is flowing with a sense of antiquity. Xi'an also has many villages and alleys with many stories in them. If you're looking for a quaint and authentic feel in Xi'an, those crisscrossing alleys are certainly the best choice.

To be a true Xi'anian, you have to appreciate the old and simple Xi'an. Then compared to those famous alleys, Shapo is ordinary, but here is the most real.

Xingqing Park is a royal garden in the Tang Dynasty, and from there it's only a mile north to a very unassuming alley. The alley is divided into two, respectively called South Shapo and North Shapo. It is connected to the Huangpu Zhuang.

The house I rented in Shapo Village was small, with windows facing the street. The house is on the third floor, and from the window you can see the hustle and bustle of people and passing cars downstairs. Inside the house there is only a bed and a table, without any other objects. The rental price for such a simple house was also not expensive.

During the day, this place is noisy and bustling all day long, selling vegetables, selling food, selling CD-ROMs, playing mahjong ...... all kinds of noisy voices and some lonely and carefree young figures, reading may be the most important, but at the moment for them, loneliness is the most terrible. Ideas also to amuse this long time.

In the evening, groups of three to five in the street to eat snacks, drinking, barbecue. Followed by playing cards.

With Mr. Wong Kar-wai's vision, here is about the drunkenness, nastiness, you can imagine using this as a backdrop for the discharge of the film: the camera has been shaking, let's assume that it is looking for the protagonist's face, neon lights must be swaying, the purpose of doing so is to make the audience dazzled, the heart of the secret admiration for Mr. Wong Kar-wai vision of the broad depth of the poison.
