Real-Shot Most Beautiful Streets in New Delhi, Equivalent to Beijing’s ‘Chang’an Street’, Very Bustling
India is a country with a long history, one of the Four Great Civilizations of the world, known for its numerous historical sites that attract many foreign tourists to visit. India's capital is New Delhi, which was built in 1911, separated from Old Delhi by a “India Gate”. It is India’s face and a landmark building in New Delhi. To visit India New Delhi has many attractions to check in.
India Gate is located at the eastern end of King’s Road, facing the Presidential Palace at the west end. There are two India Gates in India, one in New Delhi and the other in Mumbai. It is said that New Delhi’s India Gate was built in 1921, originally called the All India War Memorial, built to commemorate soldiers who died in the war. Its shape is very similar to the French Arc de Triomphe, so it is called “Indian version of Arc de Triomphe” by tourists. There are many people coming to visit here every day.
From the map, it can be seen that New Delhi is a typical radiating city, centered on Maulana Azad Park and extending outwards in all directions. There is a wide “King’s Road” in the middle, and the India Gate, Presidential Palace and India’s main government agencies are located on both sides of this road, which is India’s core place. India holds grand events and parades here.
King’s Road, also known as Suvaran Marg, is considered one of the most beautiful roads in New Delhi. It is said that this road was designed by the British. It is very different from the busy and chaotic streets in the city center. Standing on the road, the view is very open. Because the main government agencies are located on the four sides of the road, it is the most sacred and solemn road for Indians.
Now King’s Road is a famous tourist attraction in New Delhi, and locals and foreign tourists come here to walk and visit every day. However, to be honest, the greenery here is not very good, and the trees are not planted for many years, and they often raise dust.
Standing under the India Gate, you can first see a group of symmetrical buildings, which are the Indian Parliament House, the shape is very peculiar. From the eaves and pillar decorations, it can be seen that the Parliament House has both Indian traditional architecture and the characteristics of the Victorian era. Looking at it from a distance, it is very solemn and magnificent.
At the western end of King’s Road is the Presidential Palace, the residence of the President of India. It is said that the Presidential Palace was built in 1929, originally called Victoria House, later renamed Presidential Palace. The Presidential Palace can be visited, but you need to book in advance, and you need a series of procedures and audits. If you can book and audit successfully, it is still worth visiting. It is said that there is a very beautiful garden inside.
Although this is India’s most solemn and sacred place, King’s Road is allowed to traffic, and there are many auto-rickshaws and motorcycles. It is said that auto-rickshaws have made a great contribution to India’s transportation. During the trip to India, it is basically by auto-rickshaws from one attraction to another, which is very convenient.
King’s Road can be said to be the cleanest and most beautiful street in New Delhi, with a distinct contrast to the noisy and chaotic streets in the city center. At the same time, it is also the boundary between New Delhi and Old Delhi, and some people have described it as “one door away, one rich and one poor, like two worlds.” This is the true reflection of Delhi.
