The Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street is to Xiamen what Nanjing Road is to Shanghai and Chunxi Road is to Chengdu. It is an old city block built in 1925 and also the older commercial pedestrian street in Xiamen. In the process of continuous integration of modernization and history, it still retains a relatively complete modern historical style. On this wide and long street, there are countless snacks, shops with different styles and winding alleys. Here, you don’t have to worry about getting lost in the alleys at all. Because the main road is the widest among all roads. Even if you go wrong, you can find your way back. So you can enjoy shopping and eating and look for your favorite small shops.
Not to be missed: #Exquisite arcade buildings# The unique row of arcade buildings on Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street not only attract tourists from all over the world but also are a sense of belonging and longing in the hearts of old Xiamen people. It uses pink and milky white as the main colors and has a strong Nanyang style. The undulating contour lines on the arcade buildings, different-shaped mountain flowers, highly rhythmic row of windows, delicate decorative details and elegant colors all show the simplicity and charm here. #Historic cultural relics and historic sites# In addition to the dazzling array of characteristic shops on Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street, there are also many cultural relics and historic sites preserved, such as the former residence of Ren Chenghua, the admiral of Fujian Navy, red brick houses of southern Fujian folk houses, Zhonghua Church with Romanesque architectural style, etc. Although these are cultural relics and historic sites that have a long history, the mottled appearance shows the profound cultural heritage of southern Fujian even more. #Markets in alleys# Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street is a place where shops gather. On the main road are some large comprehensive shopping malls, such as Xiashang Department Store, Printemps, Zhonghua City, etc. In the small streets and alleys split by the main road, many characteristic shops are hidden. Although these shops are small, the stores are full of a wide variety of commodities and are worth a visit. #Delicious guide for foodies# There are many mouth-watering delicacies on Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street, such as peanut soup from ‘Huang Zehe’ and Babamama herbal jelly, etc. They are all very popular snacks and you can try them. In addition, Pizza Hut on the 24th floor of Haibin Building is also worth a visit. The window-side location here can overlook the entire Lujiang Road and Gulangyu. At night, you can also enjoy the brightly lit Xiamen night view with continuous traffic. Open all year round, open all day.Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street
