What are the famous streets in Xi 'an? What are the characteristics?

Xi 'an famous street and its characteristics;

Defu Lane 1

Telford Lane used to be an old house. Because the street was narrow and dark, the old people said it was like a dormant Hei Hu, and superstitious people also said it was "good feng shui". Before liberation, it was not called Telford Lane, but called Hei Hu Lane. In the early 1990s, teahouses, cafes and bars gradually emerged and prospered, forming a scale.

Today, it is a famous bar street in Xi 'an and a favorite of young hipsters. Defu Lane and the quaint Shuyuanmen Ancient Culture Street echo each other from east to west, becoming the most "foreign flavor" street in the traditional cultural area.

2. Learning channel

Xi 'an has two hutongs, large and small, which is said to be the oldest hutong in China. As early as the Tang Dynasty, thousands of Hu people lived there. The Hu people who came to Chang 'an to see the emperor all studied Chinese and etiquette there, so they were called Daxiaoxue Lane.

In the past, learning lanes, large and small, were collectively called learning lanes. It's not that the primary school lane is small, but that the university lane is big, just because the university lane looks wide and the primary school lane is narrow. It is roughly estimated that the number of residents in Primary School Lane is about 3 times more than that in University Lane.

3. Shuncheng Lane

Xi Anshun City Lane, as its name implies, is a street along the wall inside the city wall, with a magnificent ancient city wall on one side and beautiful and dignified ancient buildings in Ming and Qing Dynasties on the other. Although the alley is not as wide and gorgeous as the newly-built avenue, because of its existence, the inside and outside of the besieged city, battlements and cornices, which were originally separated by walls, are unconsciously integrated.

Located under the city wall, tourists who come to Xi like the historical and cultural corridor of Shuncheng Lane and the amorous feelings street of the North Yard of Gulou very much.

Later, people called the five flavors of Chinese medicine sweet, pungent, sour, bitter and salty.

6. Tan Shi Street

Tan Shi Street is located on the north side of the middle section of East Street, and reaches Yi Xi Road in the north. In the middle of Qing Dynasty, Xi 'an's household heating began to shift from firewood in Nanshan to coal in Beishan. At that time, this street was just a nameless alley, full of coal. Later, it was named Tan Shi Street because there were many shops selling coal, salt and non-staple food.

Before liberation, it was a dried fruit seafood market, and now it is the largest non-staple food market in the city and even in the northwest. In 2008, it moved to the West Second Ring Road as a whole, but the signboard of Tan Shi Street remained unchanged. After the demolition and reconstruction, Tan Shi Street will become a fashionable commercial street, and a comprehensive commercial street integrating shopping, consumption, catering, entertainment and leisure will be built on both sides of the road, becoming a high-end consumer market in Xi 'an.
