Yongchun - Wulijie Street

There is no market without Yongchun, and the market is at Wulijie Street. Yongchun, formerly known as 'Peach Blossom Land,' is a famous hometown of overseas Chinese. The saying 'There is no market without Yongchun' still prevails today. Wulijie, an ancient street with a thousand years of history and culture, is a key town in Southern Fujian, recognized as a traditional Chinese village, a historical and cultural famous village, and a historical and cultural district of Fujian Province. Now, after more than five years of protection and restoration, this ancient street, which carries the memories of nostalgia for many overseas Chinese, has undergone a more rational planning of its overall business format and functional layout. The cultural resources of the Maritime Silk Road have been further excavated, and it is now stepping onto the world stage with a brand-new look. Today's Wulijie Street, approximately 590 meters long, has 249 shops on both sides in the style of Nanyang arcade buildings. This ancient street, once renowned in Southern Fujian, has been renovated and is bustling with extraordinary liveliness, recapturing the elegance and charm of the past: hundreds of century-old arcade buildings stand tall on both sides of the street, martial arts halls and art galleries transformed from old houses are open and spacious, and restaurants, cultural and creative bases, and pocket parks are interspersed among them... Wulijie Ancient Street deeply excavates and utilizes the profound historical and cultural heritage of the old street, deeply integrating culture and tourism. In every brick and tile, the beauty of Yongchun's culture is re-presented, awakening the collective memory of Yongchun's citizens and enhancing the sense of cultural belonging. Now, the rejuvenated Wulijie Ancient Street is extraordinarily lively. Tourists walk on Wulijie Ancient Street, stepping on the stone pavement, eating a bowl of special snacks at a small shop at the street corner, strolling and enjoying the scenery between the wooden arcade buildings, smelling the charming sour fragrance at 'Vinegar Lao Mi Xiang,' finding the once-lost history in 'Qiaoyun Wulijie,' 'Gugang Theater,' and 'Xugang Memory,' wandering among the four attractions of 'Dreaming on the Maritime Silk Road,' 'Book Fragrance Literary Garden,' 'Paper Woven into Paintings,' 'He Wu Yongchun,' watching performances with local characteristics, searching for the charm of intangible cultural heritage, and finally, sipping a cup of Buddha's hand green tea at 'Seeking Tea and Asking the Way' has become a daily routine for many locals and a 'favorite' for tourists.
