Fenliu Street
Among them, Fenshui, this is "water division". In fact, it is the Fenjiang River that people call today. The so-called sub-division refers to the fact that the Foshan waterway is divided into two in the west of Shiwan (Wang Lugang), and the first section flows into the Dongping waterway, and the first section becomes today's Fenjiang River. Foshan people around the ancestral temple and the distribution of villages, the Fenjiang River is closer to the ancestral temple, and the river is deep and wide, so it is regarded as the mother river. However, the Cantonese people feel that "fen" is not very old (auspicious), so they add "yin" to become "fen", which also caters to the characteristics of people's hearts, so it is wrong for outsiders to read fen as a grave. It is near Zhu Zhichi, near the main street near the Fenjiang River, which also uses the fen character. For example, Fenliu Street, Fenshui Street, Fenningli. The predecessor of today's Fenning Road is Fenliu Street in the Republic of China. There is a cloth guild hall in Fenliu Street.
Hyundai Fenning Road is 200 meters long and wide; 6 meters, 2 each sidewalk. 5 meters. Asphalt pavement. The former Fenningli and the old Penang Street, during the Ming and Qing dynasties, were not far from the main port of Foshan at that time (now Yong'an Road on the banks of the Fenjiang River), and was one of the commercial concentrations in the town, and the road was built in 1931, named after the longer Fenningli. The road is lined with pink bauhinia street trees, and the buildings are mostly three-story arcades. Huang Anzhi (1911-1978), a young man from Nanjiaquan, Foshan, opened a medicine workshop with his father on Chopstick Road. Later, it was transferred to glass bottles. Open "Qi Qiang Glass Factory", it is located in Fenning Road.

According to foshan's official history and culture series, when Foshan first established the city hall, the government was already planning to plan the road. But always plan more and build less. In the period of suspension in the South China Sea, the government really began to open up the road. Shengping, Jinhua, Zhengyi, Fuxian, Fenning and Yong'an Roads were built successively. The arcade was a symbol of fashion at the beginning of the Republic of China, and the government stipulated that the original illegally built sidewalk with a width of 6 feet would not be built, and the 8-foot sidewalk would be built to build an arcade, leaving a walking space of 6 feet and 6 inches wide. The arcade pillar is made of triad soil, which is greater than 12 inches thick.

The arcades here are different from the arcades of Shengping, Fuxian and other sections, because most of the arcades here are three-storey, one after another, belonging to the rich type, and have been relatively intact before. The three-story arcade building is not too much in Foshan, but it is so assembled on Fenning Road, I believe that Fenning Road was once prosperous.

After the liberation of Foshan, the Foshan Military Control Commission was located at the Foshan Hotel. The full name of the Foshan Military Control Commission is the Foshan Branch of the Guangzhou Military Control Commission. The Foshan Municipal Military Control Commission is the highest organ of power during the period of military control in Foshan, which uniformly controls the military, political, economic, cultural and other matters of the city, and consists of 9 functional departments of the municipal government, public security bureau, financial and economic group, transportation enterprise group, cultural and educational group, civil affairs group, secretary office, security headquarters, and branch headquarters. The main tasks are to take over Foshan City in an all-round way, crack down on reactionary armed forces, stabilize the political situation in the newly liberated Foshan, and straighten out Foshan's social order.
After that, the hotel has worked as an office for Foshan Cable Broadcasting Station, Foshan Cultural Center and other departments. In 2010, due to Foshan's urban construction plan, this building was included in the demolition scope of the "Lotus-Shengping" area of the old city transformation of Chancheng District of Foshan City, in order to protect this legendary ancient building. Experts from the Cultural Relics Group of Donghuali Area of Chancheng District organized personnel to investigate the site of Foshan Hotel, and identified it as the solid structure of Foshan Hotel and can continue to be used for one or two hundred years.

However, the main structure of the building is intact. In 2013, the surrounding houses were demolished. It has been rebuilt as an emerging commercial district in Foshan.
