Among them, my city'sLu'an District Five Horse Street—Zhen Street and Ruian City Zhongyi Streetwere included.

2 pedestrian streets have unique characteristics

Let's take a look together

Five Horse Street—Zhen Street

Five Horse Street, which was built in the Eastern Jin Dynasty and has a history of more than 1600 years. It was formerly known as Five Horse Lane. The origin of the name of Five Horse Street is according to the Qing Dynasty's 'Eternal Jia County Chronicle': 'Wang Xizi guarded Eternal Jia County, with five horses arranged in front, embroidered saddles with golden plaques, when he went out, he was controlled, so now there is Five Horse Lane.'

Five Horse Street extends from Liberation Street to Park Road, west to Zhen Street and Fufeng Street, with a street length of 400 meters and a width of 12 meters. It has 14 small lanes on both sides, and there are more than 180 shops in the block.

For many people, when visiting Wenzhou, they must choose a place to shop, and that would definitely be Five Horse Street!

The entire Zhen Street is closely related to Mount Songtai. The name 'Zhen Street' comes from the Tang Dynasty monk Yongjia Master. From the end of Zhen Street, looking up at Mount Songtai, there is a seven-level pagoda—Jing Guang Pagoda standing on the peak. Jing Guang Pagoda's east side is Mount Songtai's slope, where Yongjia Master— Xuanjue Buddha statue stands, looking forward to the future.
