camel bell
Ancient principles and methods
Once the model mouth was the place with the most camels in Beijing. Camel teams keep flowing, and camel bells can be heard in the distance. It has been the ancient camel bell road from Kyoto to the Great Wall since ancient times. The street is even more lively, and people on business trips are in an endless stream. There are countless restaurants and inns, people who strike while the iron is hot, sell noodles and play the Taiping Drum. ...
A thousand-year-old road, a century-old street. A few days ago, Kou Street, a shining model in Orderly, officially opened, reappearing the prosperity of that year, and was successfully selected as the most beautiful street in 202 1 Beijing.
Modaokou Street is located in the middle of Shijingshan District, with a total length of 1.500 meters, showing the traditional feng shui pattern of nine twists and turns. Follow our footsteps and walk into the Millennium ancient road.
Leisure and entertainment
We entered the block from the east side of Modaokou Street, which is the main entrance of Tuoling Road. The striking landscape towers and stone walls make people feel the vitality and temperament of the ancient street.
There is a symbolic sculpture of the ancient road on the roadside-camel, and a brown wooden veranda is also built on the main passage. During the suspension of the copper camel bell lamp, the wind blows, as if hearing the camel bell of that year, and instantly crossing hundreds of years ago, a camel team is coming from a distance, which makes people full of infinite reverie.
Qianmukou was rebuilt on the site of the street building, and Jingxi Academy was built on the site of the first street building. It is a characteristic bookstore integrating books, cultural creation, exhibition and coffee, and it is a post station for people's leisure life. During the renovation, the stone tablet of "Jingxi Ancient Road" was retained.
On the site of the second overpass, the landscape of "Moonlight Camel Bell" was created, and the scene of camel caravan passing through the overpass under the moonlight at night was reproduced by using modern acousto-optic projection method, which lasted for thousands of years at a time.
Longwangmiao Square is located in the center of the main street, where there is an old well of the Jingxi ancient road. Now it has been transformed into a "Yongquan well" landscape, and a camel drinking water sculpture is set next to it, which vividly reproduces the face of the camel team. Now, it is a perfect occasion to open a new well next to the ancient well.
In the middle of the street, the Youth Village will be built into a Lao She theme memorial hall, a creative tea space, and a boutique cultural institute integrating the experience of celebrity water bars, courtyard bars and boutique homestays in shallow mountainous areas. Here, enjoy a pot of fragrant teas, talk about Camel Xiangzi written by Lao She, feel the changes of history, and experience the brand left by time on the sharpening mouth.
Walking on the road and on the street wall, I saw a picture scroll-Autumn Rhyme in West Beijing painted by Lao She, which vividly reproduced the beauty of autumn rhyme in Beijing in Lao She's eyes.
There are also intangible cultural experience stores, parent-child reading stores, coffee shops, small pet shops, and immersive cat experience stores. Stop, have a cup of coffee, enjoy the beautiful scenery and keep pets.
