There was a saying about Quanzhou, "two towers in the east and west, one street in the north and south". "Two towers in the east and west" refers to the Zhenguo Pagoda and the Renshou Pagoda (commonly known as the East Pagoda and the West Pagoda) built in the Kaiyuan Temple of the Tang Dynasty. "North-South Street" refers to Zhongshan Street. Quanzhou Zhongshan Street can be traced back to the Tang Dynasty, when it was a main street connecting Quanshanmen (now Zhongshan Park) and Chongyangmen (now Huaxiangkou). At the end of the Tang Dynasty, Quanzhou expanded the city, and the southern end of Zhongshan Road extended to the vicinity of today's Tumen Street. In the Song Dynasty, Zhongshan Street was extended again, to the north to Chaotianmen (now Huancheng Road), and to the south to Dejimen, with a total length of about 2.5 kilometers, basically forming the current scale. After that, Quanzhou Prefecture named the street after "Zhongshan Road". Zhongshan Street really flourished at the beginning of the last century. Many overseas Chinese who made a fortune in Nanyang injected funds into the shops of Zhongshan Street, and the street gradually grew into a prosperous commercial street. The love of the hometown and the warm wind of Quanzhou grew up together with Zhongshan Street. Zhongshan Street is 12 meters wide, and on both sides of the street are arcade-style buildings, generally two floors. This architectural style is more common in Southeast Asian countries and southern my country. Pedestrians can thus easily avoid sudden torrential rains and sun exposure. This humanized architectural style reflects the dawn of modern civilization. Among the three major cities in Fujian, only Quanzhou and Xiamen have this architectural style.
