Nanjing 4K POV - Walk around Xinjiekou - Nanjing - China 中国南京新街口商业区第一人称视角漫步
#Jiangsu #Nanjing #Xinjiekou
Xinjiekou is the central business district of Nanjing, People's Republic of China. It gave its name to Xinjiekou subway station.
Xinjiekou is an ancient site in Nanjing. In ancient times, it is only a quiet and lonely street with lots of empty space and pond. Since 1929, the location has changed greatly; four main roads of 40-meter-width met here: Zhongshan Eastern Road, Zhongzheng Road (Zhongshan Southern Road), Hanzhong Road, and Zhongshan Road, with a traffic circle in the center. On the grounds of the new traffic circle, Xinjiekou became the newly developing commercial center. In the 1930s, many buildings sprang up, like The Domestic Bank, Zhejiang Xingye Bank, Bank of Communications, the Central Shopping Center, Dahua Theater, Xindu Theater, and Fuchang Restaurant. In the 1980s, Jinling Restaurant was the tallest building.
Nanjing Xinjiekou Department Store Company will buy an 89 percent stake in Highland Group Holdings Ltd, which owns the U.K. department store chain House of Fraser.
新街口位于中国南京市新街口街道的中心区域，是一处著名的商业中心。“新街口”一词可能用来指新街口广场，也可能指以新街口广场为中心的地区，有新街口商圈、新街口中央商务区等称谓；广义的新街口则指新街口街道，辖区总面积为2平方公里。新街口每逢节假日日均客流量峰值七十万人次，七十九家世界五百强分支机构进驻，其商贸集中度超过北京王府井、上海徐家汇并翘首中国，成为中国商贸密集度最高的地区，因此有“中华第一商圈”的说法。
南京新街口的历史可追溯至1500年前。
新街口是南京一个古老的地名，但在1929年以前只是一片冷清的普通旧式街区，街道狭窄，房屋低矮，沿街房屋后面还有不少空地及池塘。1929年12月完成的《首都计划》将新街口规划为商业区。而1927年至1937年的“黄金十年”间的首都建设彻底改变了新街口的面貌，中山东路、中正路、汉中路和中山路此4条宽40余米的林荫大道在此交汇，中间形成环形广场。因成为新的全市交通枢纽，新街口迅速形成新兴的商业中心。1930年代，这一地带陆续建成国货银行、浙江兴业银行、交通银行、中央商场、大华大戏院、新都大戏院、福昌饭店等众多商企。新街口中山南路与中山东路交汇处，于1988年，南京近代建筑普查时，近代建筑尚存13座。至2009年，尚存四座民国建筑，分别为：现处于整修状态的中山东路1号，民国时期南京交通银行总部、原汪伪政府的中央储备银行，现在的工商银行老楼；中山东路3号；金陵饭店北侧的邮局老大楼，市总工会使用的原盐务署大楼。

1980年代，在广场西北角建成当时中国最高建筑金陵饭店。
新街口广场处于四条马路的相交处，东为中山东路，通向中山门，南为中山南路，通向中华门，西为汉中路，通向汉中门，北为中山路，通向鼓楼广场。1942年11月，汪伪政府将1928年由筱原金作和牧田祥哉所铸孙中山铜像从中央陆军军官学校移至新街口广场中心。
2001年之前新街口广场一直是环岛式建筑，2001年，由于地铁一号线施工，广场拆除，孙中山铜像（1996年版）迁移。2009年9月，地铁二号线新街口地面施工将全部结束，2009年5月，孙中山铜像的回归问题也引起了各方讨论，民国时期铸造、体积较小的孙中山铜像也被相关部门纳入铜像重回新街口计划的考虑范围之内。2009年8月，《新街口广场复建方案》编制完成，考虑到在建的地铁二号线工程，预计2010年春节后，以1996年版的孙中山铜像回归新街口。方案拟以孙中山铜像为中心，四周扩展成直径8米的环岛，在环岛外围增加宽幅为一米的铺装道路，整个中心最终为直径10米的环岛带。同时周边景观以绿化为主，并且使景观三季有花，四季常青。
据相关规划，大新街口商圈的区域东至太平南路、太平北路，南至建邺路、白下路，西至莫愁路、上海路，北至长江路、华侨路。商圈核心区域东至洪武南路、洪武北路，南至石鼓路、淮海路，西至王府大街、管家桥，北至长江路、华侨路，面积约1平方千米。日常人流量达60多万人次，双休日约100万人次。新街口商圈内同业商家聚集的功能街区有“洪武路金融街”、“正洪路商业步行街”、太平南路黄金珠宝一条街”、“王府美食街”、“石鼓路酒吧街”、“冶山民俗文化街”、 “朝西古玩字画一条街”、“莫愁路古玩一条街”、“长江路文化一条街”、“仓巷明清一条街”、“淮海路民国文化一条街”等。

位置position：
1861年筑南京路至北京路一段。1866年筑福州路以南段。19世纪后期筑完全程。是直通北火车站的交通要道。特色是沿路多旅社，南京路口有永安公司、先施公司两大百货公司对峙。
我挺喜欢浙江中路南苏州河的浙江路桥，钢架结构的桥梁，仿佛回到了上个世纪三、四十年代，体味那时的辉煌。
In 1861, a section of Nanjing Road to Beijing Road was built. In 1866, south of Fufu Road was built. Built in the late 19th century. It is the main thoroughfare of the North Railway Station. The characteristic is that there are many hostels along the road. There are two major department stores in Yongan Company and Xianshi Company in Nanjing.
I like Zhejiang Road Bridge and the steel frame structure of the Suzhou River in the middle of Zhejiang Road. It seems to have returned to the 1920s and 1940s in the last century.

SUMMARY
=======
Tianjin ([tʰjɛ́n.tɕín] (listen)), formerly romanized as Tientsin, is a coastal metropolis in northern China and one of the nine national central cities of the People's Republic of China (PRC), with a total population of 15,469,500, and is also the world's 11th-most populous city proper. It is governed as one of the four municipalities under the direct administration of central government of the PRC and is thus under direct administration of the central government. Tianjin borders Hebei Province and Beijing Municipality, bounded to the east by the Bohai Gulf portion of the Yellow Sea. Part of the Bohai Economic Rim, it is the largest coastal city in northern China.
In terms of urban population, Tianjin is the fourth largest in China, after Shanghai, Beijing, and Guangzhou. In terms of administrative area population, Tianjin ranks fifth in Mainland China. The walled city of Tianjin was built in 1404. As a treaty port since 1860, Tianjin has been a major seaport and gateway to Beijing. During the Boxer Rebellion the city was the seat of the Tianjin Provisional Government. Under the Qing dynasty and the Republic of China, Tianjin became one of the largest cities in the region. At that time, numerous European-style buildings and mansions were constructed in concessions, many of which are well-preserved today. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Tianjin suffered a depression due to the policy of the central government and Tangshan earthquake, but recovered from 1990s. Nowadays Tianjin is a dual-core city, with its main urban area (including the old city) located along the Hai River, which connects to the Yellow and Yangtze Rivers via the Grand Canal; and Binhai, a New Area urban core located east of the old city, on the coast of the Bohai Gulf. As of the end of 2010, around 285 Fortune 500 companies have set up base in Binhai.

SUMMARY
=======
Wuhan ([ù.xân] (listen); simplified Chinese: 武汉; traditional Chinese: 武漢) is the capital and largest city of the Chinese province of Hubei. It is the most populous city in Central China, with a population of over 10 million, the seventh-most populated Chinese city, and one of the nine National Central Cities of China. It lies in the eastern Jianghan Plain, on the middle reaches of the Yangtze River's intersection with the Han river. Arising out of the conglomeration of three cities, Wuchang, Hankou, and Hanyang, Wuhan is known as China's Thoroughfare (九省通衢), and holds sub-provincial status.
Wuhan's history dates 3500 years. It was the location of the Wuchang Uprising, which led to the downfall of the Qing dynasty and the establishment of the Republic of China. Wuhan was briefly the capital of China in 1927 under the left wing of the Kuomintang (KMT) government led by Wang Jingwei. The city later served as the wartime capital of China in 1937 for 10 months during the Second Sino-Japanese War. During the Chinese Cultural Revolution, an armed conflict between two hostile groups who were fighting for control over the city became known as the Wuhan incident.
Wuhan today is considered the political, economic, financial, commercial, cultural and educational centre of Central China. It is a major transportation hub, with dozens of railways, roads and expressways passing through the city and connecting to other major cities. Because of its key role in domestic transportation, Wuhan is sometimes referred to as the Chicago of China by foreign sources. The Golden Waterway of the Yangtze River and its largest tributary, the Han River, traverse the urban area and divides Wuhan into the three districts of Wuchang, Hankou and Hanyang. The Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge crosses the Yangtze in the city. The Three Gorges Dam, the world's largest power station in terms of installed capacity, is located nearby.
While Wuhan has for decades been a traditional base for manufacturing, it has also become one of the areas promoting modern industrial change. Wuhan consists of three national development zones, four scientific and technologic development parks, over 350 research institutes, 1,656 hi-tech enterprises, numerous enterprise incubators, and investments from 230 Fortune Global 500 firms. It produced GDP of US$ 224 billion in 2018. The Dongfeng Motor Corporation, an automobile manufacturer, is hea ...
