As in previous years, during this year's National Day holiday, many alleys with stories in Hongkou have once again become the first choice for tourists.
During the National Day holiday, the reporter saw on North Sichuan Road and Shanyin Road that many citizens and tourists came to visit and check in in some alleys along the line, and there were many foreign friends among them. "There are too many people in tourist attractions, so we didn't go out and chose to visit some characteristic alleys in Hongkou." Li Qian, a citizen from Songjiang, told reporters that the alleys in Hongkou are very distinctive, some are still red alleys, and many of them are the former residences of cultural celebrities and revolutionary martyrs.
North Sichuan Road is one of the important carrying places of Hongkou's "three cultural places", with rich red cultural resources, with more than 100 red imprints, 51 revolutionary sites and 30 immovable revolutionary cultural relics announced by the city. The Shanyin Road Historical Landscape Conservation Area is home to many garden houses, new-style lane houses, and historical preservation buildings, and is known as the "open-air museum" of Shanghai-style residential architecture.
In order to inherit the urban context and improve the living environment of residents, Hongkou has started a large-scale renovation of Shanghai-style alleys and excellent historical protection buildings along Shanyin Road and North Sichuan Road.
The reporter learned from the North Sichuan Road Street that during the long holiday every year, many tourists at home and abroad come to visit the Shanghai Lane and Red Lane in the jurisdiction, listen to the celebrity stories and red stories here, and trace the footprints of revolutionary martyrs and writers. In May this year, the street also selected 10 alley residents to serve as "tour guides" to provide interpretation services for tourists in Shanghai-style alleys with stories such as Yong'anli, Hengfengli, and Huayuan, so that everyone can have a deeper understanding of the Shanghai-style stories in the alleys.
Hengfengli, located in the Shanyin Road Historical Landscape Conservation Area, is a well-known Shanghai-style alley in Shanghai, enjoying the reputation of "Sanxiang alley". There are not only red landmarks such as the former site of the Jiangsu Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China in the alley, but also the footprints of revolutionary martyrs such as Chen Yannian, and many tourists come here every day. The person in charge of Shanyi residential area told reporters that during this National Day holiday, the renovated alley once again ushered in the peak of passenger flow. In order to welcome visitors from all over the world, red flags and lanterns are also hung in the main alley on the street to create a happy and peaceful atmosphere for the National Day.
Li Ming, a citizen who used to live on Shanyin Road, revisited his hometown after moving away for more than 20 years, and was full of emotion, "In the past, there were many bicycles parked in the alley, garbage and debris piled up indiscriminately, and the living environment was not particularly good. Now Hongkou has renovated these alleys so well, not only repairing the houses, but also planting greenery in front of the doors, and the environment has suddenly changed a lot. ”
During the National Day holiday, Zhapu Road, which was out of the circle because of the movie "Sauce Garden Lane", also became a popular tourist destination. After renovation, it has been transformed into a film and television street on Zhapu Road. "I heard that Zhapu Road has changed again, and now it is very popular, so I rushed over to take a look at it during this holiday." Ms. Yuan, a citizen, came from Qingpu early in the morning to "make trouble", and in order to make the photos shine in the circle of friends, she also specially changed into a set of cheongsam, "The photos taken in this way are more old Shanghai style." ”
This holiday, there are many tourists like Ms. Yuan. In order to cope with the peak of passenger flow, North Sichuan Road Street has played the role of block governance, guided merchants, community volunteers, and third-party forces to collaborate, and provided a good tour environment for the majority of citizens and tourists.
Since the beginning of this year, Hongkou has further promoted the upgrading and development of North Sichuan Road, in addition to renewing the style of Zhapu Road Film and Television Street, in the future, it will also create more trendy scenes of culture, sports, tourism and business exhibitions in the North Sichuan Road block, so as to stimulate new vitality of cultural and tourism consumption.
