I don't look forward to bustling Shanghai, nor do I yearn for ancient Beijing. I love my hometown, Shaanxi.
I was born in Shaanxi, grew up in Shaanxi, and am an authentic "old Shaanxi person".
Chen Yuting, a student from the 14th Primary School of Yulin City, participated in the "Red China Poetic Shaanxi" Shaanxi Composition Contest - Ten Cities Teenagers Writing Activity. It is the National Day holiday, she recommends everyone to visit Yulin Old Street to enjoy the customs and customs here.
Shaanxi is one of the birthplaces of Chinese civilization, and generation after generation has worked hard and lived happily on this land. And in Shaanxi there is another small city - Yulin.
"Yulin Old Street, is the place I am most familiar with the whole city of Yulin, it is a very long pedestrian street, the street is quaint, the road is lined with trees that cannot be seen at a glance, every summer, the trees are shady, the streets are very cool, walking in such a green avenue, how is it not a kind of enjoyment? At intervals in the street, there will be an ancient building, including Wenchang Pavilion, Wanfu Tower, Bell Tower, etc., each with a different style charm, making people linger. ”
"Yulin Old Street highlights the history and culture of the hometown, represents the wisdom and wisdom of the Yulin people, and under the diligent hands of the Yulin people, the Old Street of Yulin, which has become old and dilapidated because of history and the long age, has returned to a new look."
Under Chen Yuting's pen, a vivid image of Yulin Old Street slowly unfolds before your eyes. In her eyes, every sight and food contains her love for the city. Bread, buns, soy milk, fritters... There is also a local specialty: tofu. Yulin's tofu is all handmade, no matter how you cook, fry, fry, stew... They are all very tasteful and incredibly tender, so that you know what a real gastronomic specialty is.
Yulin Old Street was formed during the Ming Dynasty. On the 2-kilometer-long old street, Wenchang Pavilion, Wanfo Tower, Xingming Tower, Bell Tower, Kaige Tower and Drum Tower are arranged from south to north, forming a unique historical pattern of "Sixth Floor Riding Street", so that the old street enjoys the reputation of "the world's famous sixth-floor arcade street".
Each tower in Yulin Old Street has its own history and its own story, which integrates the unique cultural character of the people of northern Shaanxi into it and blends them into one, so that the vicissitudes and thickness of history and culture linger for a long time in this ancient city.
Strolling through Yulin Old Street, you can truly feel the relics of Yulin Ancient City, which was praised by Mr. Lao She as "Old Yulin, Little Beijing". Through this old street with deep memories of the years, you can savor the vicissitudes of the ancient city.
