With the rapid improvement of the economic level in the city and the vigorous development of tourism, many cities have begun to focus on creating more distinctive tourist attractions. It is worth noting that almost every city has an ancient neighborhood that shows local characteristics, and people are bound to check in these streets when traveling to another city. Today Xiaobian introduces such a street located in Hangzhou, which gathers all the snacks in Hangzhou and is a must-visit place to come to Hangzhou.
This is the Southern Song Dynasty Royal Street, and I believe that many friends who are familiar with Hangzhou are not unfamiliar with it. The Southern Song Dynasty Royal Street was a major street in the capital city during the Southern Song Dynasty, which was full of the dexterity of Jiangnan gardens at that time. Nowadays, Royal Street has been commercialized by tourism development, and there are not many monuments preserved. But it is this business model that shows the former prosperity of Royal Street, coupled with the reconstruction of buildings and the management of greenery, making it a tourist attraction where retro and modern are blended.
In ancient times, the Southern Song Dynasty Royal Street was made of more than 10,000 stone bricks, which shows the importance of the Royal Street at that time. During the Southern Song Dynasty, the emperor ordered that a celestial sacrifice be held every three years. The emperor's route was along the royal street to the Jingling Palace to worship the ancestors, which was the only way to worship the heavens every time, and according to legend, the emperor was very afraid of the convoy crushing the stone bricks when he walked in Jiede, so he asked for the stone bricks to be removed every time, and then filled them back with stone bricks after the convoy passed.
Not only that, during the Southern Song Dynasty, the Royal Street was occupied by all kinds of vendors, and every day it was as lively as a bazaar, from low-end goods to luxury goods. At that time, the largest entertainment center, Beiwa, was also here, which can be said to be a block that combines business and entertainment, fully demonstrating the rapid and diverse economic development of the Southern Song Dynasty. Today's Royal Street has rebuilt the surrounding buildings into a traditional Chinese architectural form with white walls and gray tiles and tiger windows, and has settled a number of shops, recreating the commercial atmosphere of the Southern Song Dynasty at that time.
The snacks in Royal Street are a must not miss, and the snacks in Hangzhou are the most comprehensive here. The delicacy of the flower chicken, the sweetness of the Dingsheng cake, and the children's favorite dragon whisker cake, the rice dumpling is also a different sweet and soft glutinous, although the price is not cheap, but it is also very cost-effective to eat such an authentic Hangzhou snack. The ancient nature of Royal Street is reflected in a prosperous, free and open all year round, regardless of the time period, I believe that many tourists who come here will enjoy this experience of coexistence of simplicity and splendor.
