In a blink of an eye, Guangzhou City Hall was established in 1921
Exactly 97 years have passed
In the past few decades, Guangzhou's changes can be described as earth-shaking
There are more and more high-rise buildings and popular business districts
The economy is growing rapidly
The types of people pouring in are also becoming more diverse
But while Guangzhou embraces more and more "new" things
But there are also some things that were once familiar and slowly disappearing
Since then, it can only remain in the memories of Guangzhou people
<h1>Disappearing business districts</h1>
General East
Hong Kong has Yaliao Street in Sham Shui Po, and Guangzhou has General East of Zhongshan No. 6.
It is not an exaggeration to call General Dong a "mature man's paradise". However, with the guangzhou subway reclaiming the land, this guangzhou's premier electrical appliance mall, on November 30, 2015, will eventually be closed and cleared.
Big
The Taobao holy land of Guangzhou's teacher's milk, a "civilian market" that carries an authentic and extensive taste. Dragging his mother's hand around the big place is the childhood of a young Guangzhounese.
"Qidu, Yijiefang", after all, was obliterated with the development of the city, and on April 21, 2014, Guan Zhang withdrew, leaving infinite sighs.
Champion Fang
About the classmates to go to the Zhuangyuanfang shadow stickers, studs, and beautiful shirts, which has been a portrayal of many post-80s and post-90s students.
Today's Zhuangyuanfang, which used to be densely lined with jewelry shops and carving shops, has become an empty aisle, and rental advertisements can be seen everywhere. Once "bumping into people's square", now "bumping through the mill".
The road to innovation
"Buy stationery to innovation road, complete things and cheap" is the consensus of Guangzhou's "post-80s", and it has become a habit, all of which lasted until the demolition and expansion of the road in 2007.
After the expansion, the old grandeur has faded. By 2015, there were only 8 stationery shops left on the stationery street. What was demolished was not only the stationery street, but also the collective memories of a generation of Guangzhou students.
Flower, bird, fish and insect market
On July 10, the flower, bird, fish and insect market in Fangcun was auctioned by Vanke with a huge investment of 55.1 billion yuan. Suddenly, we don't know where this "Grand View Garden" will go.
The world's largest aquarium market is not tall, but it is full of colorful fish, birds and animals and flowers. Here, you feel as if you have suddenly entered another world.
Pacific Computer City
Most of the guangzhou people's first assembly computer was assembled in the Pacific Computer City, but unfortunately, the current Pacific Computer City is no longer prosperous, the B field has been fully completed, and the A field is also facing transformation.
Huangsha aquatic products market
In addition, the Huangsha Aquatic Products Market, which has accompanied Lao Guang for 24 years, will also be relocated to Dongluowei, Fangcun.
Disappearing train station
The 43-year-old Guangzhou Railway Station will also be transformed into a more advanced and convenient high-speed rail station.
You know, in the early days of reform and opening up, thousands of people chose to go south and became the first batch of migrant workers in Guangzhou, and their first stop in Guangzhou was Guangzhou Railway Station, and the first stop home for the New Year was Also Guangzhou Railway Station.
Whether it is the snow disaster in 2008, the real-name Spring Festival in 10 years, or the 14 years of 10,000 people spending the night at the station... Guangzhou Railway Station has been accompanying them for 43 years. I don't know what it is after the metamorphosis. When will you see us?
<h1>Disappeared 2 types of ID cards</h1>
440102
Guangzhou Dongshan District was officially delisted at 12:00 noon on September 28, 2005, and merged with Yuexiu, remembering that at that time, the neighbors all went to No. 8 Yanqian Road for a group photo. Since then, the culture and feelings of the old Dongshan have become historical memories.
440107
On April 28, 2005, Fangcun District, Guangzhou (merged with Liwan).
Disappeared primary and secondary schools
Meihua Middle School, Meihua Primary School, Jixiang Road Primary School, 109 Middle School, Seventy-Nine Middle School, Twenty-five Middle School, Guangda Experimental Middle School, Beijing South Primary School, No. 49 Middle School and Jiangnan Middle School were merged and reorganized into "Guangzhou Jiangnanwai Chinese School".
The 52nd Middle School and Lucui Middle School were merged and reorganized into "Guangzhou Lucui Modern Experimental School".
Moms and gentlemen, do you remember these elementary schools?
<h1>Disappearing road names</h1>
Many of guangzhou's disappeared place names and road names were all household names in the past.
The urban expansion is unstoppable, they are gradually disappearing, and only exist in the memories of the older generation of Guangzhounese, old overseas Chinese, old Hong Kong and Macao citizens.
Yonghan Road became Beijing Road
▼
Dexuan Road became Dongfeng Road
The Restoration Road became the Road of Insurrection
Taiping Road, Fengning Road, Chang Gung Road, Huchang Road
One-stop changed to "People's Road"
The Belt River Road became Kangwang Road
The fourth archway became the Middle Liberation Road
Newly filled land, Shigang Street, Immigration City, Guide Gate
Then it's gone forever!
<h1>The old taste of Guangzhou disappeared</h1>
In these decades, too many long-established restaurants have disappeared from our vision...
Jin Ying Restaurant
The Jinying Restaurant in Xiaozhou Village treasures the memories of many Guangzhounese.
Shrimp dumplings, dry steamed, beef balls, steamed ribs, pan-fried radish cake... Love to eat authentic dim sum, it has it all.
Unfortunately, in October of the previous year, it was also demolished. The small continent without it is really unaccustomed...
Drunken QiongLou
In addition to the Jin Ying Restaurant, there is also the long-established Drunken Qiong Lou also announced its closure.
It opened in 1983, and on October 26th, it sent a piece of paper "Precious" to bid farewell to the old broadcasters. More than ten years ago, ZuiqiongLou moved from Guanghua Road to longjin East Road, a family of two generations, after 34 years.
Xiangzhen Building
The century-old tea house - "Xiangzhen Building", because Zhongshan Seventh Road was to be widened, unfortunately was demolished.
At that time, this tea house opened a tea market, a restaurant, operated gift cakes, moon cakes, and set up a chess game to attract chess fans, and even Huang Songxuan, Li Qingquan, Lu Hui, and Feng Jingxu, the "four heavenly kings" of Chess in Guangzhou, had sighed and caught chess here.
Chengzhu Building
It can be said that it is the earliest and longest time-honored tea house in Guangzhou, which has been opened during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty and has a history of more than 250 years.
Chengzhu Lou is gone, but now there is a "Chengzhu Food Store" in the area of South China Middle Road, which is a small shop that was a few old employees of Chengzhu Lou who have been selling the well-known Chengzhu Xiaofeng Cake.
West Park Restaurant
Opened in 1921 on Hui'ai West Road, it is a garden-style restaurant, known as one of the four major garden restaurants in Guangzhou (the other three are Wenyuan, Nanyuan and Moqin). The West Garden Restaurant has become the current "Tao Street Electric City".
Hui'ai Road during the Republic of China period
Yun Xiang Restaurant
There is an old saying in Guangzhou - "There is lotus incense in the west, and there is yunxiang in the east", and one of the yunxiang is the well-known restaurant Yunxiang Restaurant located at No. 342 Donghua East Road in Yuexiu District.
Yun Xiang Restaurant was founded in the 30th year of Guangxu (1904) of the Qing Dynasty, with a history of 100 years, and is famous for its traditional Cantonese cuisine, dragon and phoenix cakes, and Mid-Autumn Moon Cakes.
Fragrant root
"Cai Gen Xiang" was founded in 1933 of the last century, and was originally located in Xiguan, the city. Until 1984, Caigen Xiang Vegetarian Restaurant invested millions of yuan to renovate and renovate, and opened the morning tea market.
It was closed in 2004 and is now a pharmacy.
Ronghua Building
In the early 1980s, Fang Xuan, a dim sum chef at Ronghua Restaurant, carefully developed Ronghua Hemp Crisp. Ronghua Hemp Crisp is a variety of coarse material refining, which has the characteristics of sweet and crisp, and has won many awards at the Guangzhou Food Festival since 1983.
Ronghua Building was also once a famous Cantonese opera tea house in Guangzhou, but in 2013, it was also due to poor management that led to debt, and finally regretted closing.
Huiru Building
Among the traditional tea houses in Guangzhou, the history of Huiru Lou is second only to that of Chengzhu Lou. Many Guangzhou people used to go to HuiruLou to buy a box of Huiru "Gongyue" and "Wurenyue" during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
In March 1995, due to the needs of subway construction, Huiru Building was relocated to Guanghua 2nd Road, and closed its doors after two years of hard work.
<h1>Disappearing night market</h1>
West Lake Night Market
The West Lake Night Market was bustling with activity, and I remember the long road lined with stalls, full of clothes, toys and fashionable styles.
In 2001, the government advocated returning the road to the people, demolished the light night market, once looked at the prosperity of thousands of stalls, the lights were extinguished one by one, "disappeared" in the dark night.
Shiqiao West Street
This street carries a group of Panyu people who started from scratch and carried a generation of Panyu people to grow up shopping here; a bargain, a street snack, a flyer, a shout! Now the scenery is no longer beautiful.
<h1>Vanishing skybridge</h1>

The overpass in front of the new company
There are also The Great South Road Junction Flyover, Haizhu Square Yide Road Flyover, Huifu Road Junction Flyover...
Disappearing entertainment venues
Lao Guang's childhood was basically contracted by them
Do you keep those pictures?
A magnificent ballroom
Caonuan Park
Children's park
Oriental Paradise
<h1>Disappeared old Canton craft</h1>
Cocks
Nowadays, as the traditional mark of Guangzhou, the chicken rooster has become an accessory to the production of the assembly line. The real taste can only stay in Lao Guang's memory.
Facelifter
In those years, there were no beauty salons on the streets. Beauty-loving girls would patronize the face-saving technicians on the street. Leaning on a thin cotton thread and a piece of white puff, they removed the stray hairs from their faces in three or two clicks, making the whole face look smooth and delicate.
Watch repairman
When the watch was broken, we would choose to go to the watch shop to repair it, but since the popularity of mobile phones, there are fewer and fewer people using watches. Although the watchmakers still appear in some small streets and alleys, unfortunately, this profession has gradually declined.
Umbrella repair master
Now the broken umbrellas will basically choose to throw away and replace them with new ones, and gradually there is no need to repair them, and the umbrella repair master has also faded out of our sight.
Old-fashioned barber
A pair of scissors, a pusher, a comb, a scraper, a chair in the alley to open a hair salon, cut hair for only a few dollars. This is the most primitive barber craft, pure barber. Now this kind of old-fashioned haircut can still be found in some alleys in Guangzhou.
Pot repair master
Tinkering pots used to be a profession in street handicraft workshops, and the difference in engineering was determined according to the variety of pots. There are special iron pots, there are special porcelain dishes, and there are also special aluminum pot kettles. The master can "eat everything" and "take it and put it down".
But with business in a slump, now slowly disappearing into the city, can the corners of the wet market still be encountered?
<h1>The disappearing Cantonese....</h1>
Want to know the moms and friends who saw this push
Do you speak Cantonese more often every day?
Will I choose cantonese to communicate with my child?
Now many primary school students in Guangzhou don't speak Cantonese anymore...
Guangzhou is constantly updating and developing
Naturally there will be a lot of things that have historical value
Obsolete or forgotten
But whatever Guangzhou will experience
I hope that the lives of my mothers and friends will get better and better
