"The crystal curtain moves and the breeze rises, and the roses are full of incense. "In late spring and early summer, the weather is not dry, and roses can be seen everywhere in Sioux City. The flower color ranges from pink, red to purple, with various saturations. Recently, the roses in Pingjiang Ancient Lane are also blooming freely next to the tail of the flower season, as if they are scrambling to take photos with tourists on the road, which has become a beautiful scenery of the ancient city.
Characteristic shop, encounter a waterfall of flowers
"The roses on Pingjiang Road are really waterfalls, and they are really amazing. Walking from Ganjiang East Road to the inside, passing by Dingtai Xian, Gude Garden Cat Cafe, and Cat's Sky City ......""Walking more than 10,000 steps, walking through Jianxin Lane, Daxinqiao Lane, Xiaojia Lane and other alleys, there are surprises everywhere!" Nowadays, the roses in strong bloom on Pingjiang Road are on fire, becoming the "top stream" of the ancient city to enjoy the flowers. On major online media platforms, some netizens summarized the "Rose Map of Pingjiang Road" and formulated a "Rose Line" to attract tourists from all over the world. Many small shops have also used "flowers" as a medium to explore characteristics and attract fans.
Located at No. 21 Hanging Bridge Lane, the Rose Waterfall with branches hanging at the entrance of the Bamboo Forest Teahouse attracts many citizens and tourists. The breeze blows the scent of flowers, and the quaint courtyard of the shop adds a touch of romance to this alley full of historical charm. When you are tired of walking around Pingjiang Road, you can turn into the alley, drink tea, relax, and quietly enjoy and take pictures.
In the past few days, the roses on the warehouse street are in full bloom, stretching continuously, clusters and clusters nestled together, very spectacular and beautiful. In the Taoyuanju Hanfu Experience Store at No. 58 Cang Street, the clerks have not stopped since the morning, and the first picture of many customers after making a pose is to take a photo with the roses next to the store, which looks more Jiangnan charm against the backdrop of the pink walls and tiles.
In Gusu District, more and more creative and tasteful shops appear in the streets and alleys of the ancient city. Through characteristic store recruitment, out-of-the-circle atmosphere, creative management, etc., the "flow" will be turned into "retention", and new vitality will be injected into the consumer market of the ancient city.
The alleys are renewed, showing the charm of the ancient alleys
The romance in the alleys of Pingjiang can only be known when you go. In front of the Weidao Temple in the Pingjiang Historic District, the roses bloom. Delicate roses emerge from the alley with "smiling faces". Some buds are blooming, and some flowers are blooming, pouring down like a small waterfall, forming a beautiful flower waterfall. The white roses in Daxinqiao Lane stand out with their cold temperament, and compared with the delicate red roses, they have a unique elegance, attracting many citizens and tourists to stop and watch.
Since the completion and acceptance of the public space quality improvement project (phase II) of Pingjiang Historical and Cultural District last year, the "appearance" of 6 streets and alleys, including Mingtang Lane, Weidao Guanqian, Hengxiang and Caoan Lane, has been improved. With the efforts of Pingjiang Street and related communities in Gusu District, the project listened to the opinions of the aborigines on the renovation of the streets and alleys in front of their homes through questionnaires and household surveys, and on the premise of maintaining the original historical features of the streets and alleys, through the embroidery-like "micro design", the walls were painted, the ground pavement was replaced, and the small landscape along the streets was increased, so as to promote the urban renewal of the historic district.
Also in the branch alley Dawangjia Lane where Pishi Street and Renmin Road meet, a rose happily pokes out from the residents' yards, covering half of the wall, pink flowers, tender green branches and leaves, gray eaves tiles, snow-white courtyard walls, the collision of colors is extremely eye-catching, and every citizen passing by unconsciously stops, or appreciates, or takes pictures, giving it infinite attention.
The former Dawangjia Lane was an inconspicuous back alley, and it was one of the first streets and alleys to be completed after the Jingmei Street and Alley Project was launched in 2021. Not only has the ground been leveled, but the façade has also been beautified, and the electrical box in the green belt has been painted, and every detail is full of temperature and beauty.
Residents are self-governing and create the beauty of corners
Once I entered Gusu, my eyes were full of surprises. Walking in the lilac alley of blue bricks and black tiles, I met ordinary people's homes around the corner, and came across a red rose blooming at No. 14, pouring down from the courtyard wall of the pink wall and tiles, and the petals were stacked on top of each other, forming a flower wall. The owner of the rose flower comes out from time to time to water it, and about three or five friends chatter under the flowers, half of which is the fireworks of the world, and half of which is the poetry of late spring.
In order to stimulate the vitality of residents' autonomy and build a beautiful Pingjiang, the Pingjiang Street Historic District Community will also integrate the concept of "co-construction and sharing" into the governance of the compound, build a cultural wall, create an atmosphere of ancient streets and alleys, and guide residents to participate in the environmental improvement of streets and alleys, publicize garbage classification, and every resident of the compound is a "woodpecker" of the compound, and participate in the environmental renovation of the compound to create a good living environment.
The rejuvenated No. 2 Mixed Lane is a case in point. No. 2 Mingtang Lane is a compound of non-property residents adjacent to Pingjiang Road, with a construction area of about 800 square meters and 14 residents. The original house has problems such as roof leakage, aging and cracking of the wall, and cluttered greening, which affects the normal life of residents and the image of the city. Since the completion of the renovation at the end of December 2023, the overall environment of the compound has been significantly improved. Nowadays, under the care and care of every resident in the courtyard, the orchids in the garden are bright and dripping, and every scene in the courtyard carries the residents' yearning for a better life.
As the capillaries of the city, the streets and alleys are not only the inner part of the city, but also the face of the city. Renewal, renewal, protection, development, governance, co-construction, and sharing...... The relevant person in charge of Pingjiang Street said that in the future, the street will continue to explore and work hard, and continuously promote the upgrading of streets and alleys through space beautification, characteristic lighting, and highlighting culture, so as to be in harmony with market life, and Guanqian Business District and Yanlord Cang Street are each beautiful, drawing a new era of "Pingjiang Map" of beauty and harmonious coexistence.
