Liulichang Street
China, an East Asian country is one of the world’s oldest civilizations. It has a vast cultural history of more than five thousand years and an outstanding natural beauty. On the other hand, this country has remained a comparatively isolated and secluded one, and being a land of mystery, this country is not known to the western half of the world. However, China is rapidly developing and has grown in the phase of modernization, with an immense speed and is also welcoming the outer world to interact and do business with them.
Liulichang Street was one time a prosperous cultural center during the Ming and Qing dynasties in 1368 where painters, scholars and calligraphers gathered to buy materials, compose poetry, write books, exchange ideas and paint pictures. In the modern age, this street is located in downtown Beijing by the Peace Gate and large scale renovations completed in 1984, have transformed the street into a historic market that resembles Chinese village.
The shops that border the street are filled with authentic and convincing imitation pottery, carpets, calligraphy, books, vases, scrolls as well as chops. All real antiques purchased here can be taken out of China as they have been genuine experts and certificates are obtainable in the stores. The street is a combination of state-run and confidentially owned shops and you should certainly bargain making purchases. There are also replicas of traditional teahouses and wineshops, as well as an eatery for tourists to relax and take pleasure in Chinese cuisine.
Liulichang Street is definitely one of the popular tourist attractions in China. It is worth paying a visit while touring the country. This place will leave a pleasing and unforgettable memory and justify the proud cultural tradition of China.
