The reporter intern Hong Xinyi Li Yang

Last week, the front section of history and culture come to an end, may the same day, Dashilan tourism shopping and lively opening section. Two closely connected to historical and cultural street, front and rear legs huh two activities, the content is similar: here, staged a "selling show," there run from the "front" exhibition; here, organized tours to play "treasure hunt" , there greeting everyone "experience lines"; here about the merchants with a picture of history, there sketching relive memories ... ... Although the alley on both sides do a very busy, but they are nothing but a little wonder visitors from the child: the front door, Dashilan had not that next to it? Need not to do two "sections" do?

Visitors: experience only half the old

Three Qingyuan Theater site being held "under the guise of" exhibition, more than 30 old Republican guise looks quite interesting, but a pair of children from the northeast of the old couple found a problem: "the front door on the street there are so many old, side of the cover is also how a faceless ah? "front street" front door exhibition merchants cultural change, "not dismantling, the couple Coushang to see for a while, they discovered a new problem:" how to present these panels east half of all the old, the old west Dashilan another could not see it? "

From 25 in the third year graduate Mike, have similar regrets. A week ago she came to visit the front door when the festival, received a piece of "clearance Wendie", "That is above the maps, detailed description of the Qianmen Street and fresh fish dishes on the street every mouth old location and history, visit particularly convenient from the street to. "However, as the map is not marked Dashilan pedestrian street, there is no description Dashilan the old, and she felt something missing anything," is like a lesson, talk about the top half of children knowledge of the contents into the back of a self. "

Shops: no stained both sides of the light

No matter is "historical and cultural festival" or "Travel Shopping Festival", they are actually old culture in order to promote, attract tourists to come. But for some old terms, in order to coat this "holiday" of light really is not easy. Such as the Grand View Pavilion in Dashilan cinema, where the film was the birthplace of Beijing, centuries-old brick wall Daguanlou erected there, a trace is the cultural atmosphere. But the old people here are complaining about application Sister: "Dashilan engaged in the tourism and shopping festival, discounts and ran a lot of tourists come, we did not notice how the wall."

There in the front door on West Street, Lao She Teahouse, bring the store, even as the "old neighborhood" Tong Ren Tang, deputy director of the Office of the Head Office for them Mingbu Ping Guo Haiyan are: "From the Lao She Teahouse Avenue North exit to the front door, which is a few meters of road, but from there to Dashilan, it may take a little far from friends; but because this one was placed under the Dashilan, people can only participate in Dashilan the 'tourism and shopping festival', which would naturally reach better activity results, very unfortunate. "

However, there are old to get a double benefit. Such as "all one" because the front door at street intersections with Dashilan the corner, since both sides of the campaign started, the business has been very hot here.

Expert: development should not be limited by administrative region

Two adjacent streets, exactly the same culture and history, business functions are exactly the same, why can all engage in various activities? The answer is simple: according to administrative divisions, Qianmen Street is the dividing line between what the city; street and east of Qianmen Street, Dongcheng District, businesses owned by the jurisdiction, and Dashilan lots west of Qianmen Street, where the city is Guixi jurisdiction. In recent years, there has been Dashilan Qianmen Street and "competition", and the two "Festival", a front door by the Dongcheng District Government and the Management Committee held a Dashilan district offices, Xicheng District Business Commission Xicheng District Tourism Bureau and organized, a little also was accused of much meaning.

But in history, in fact, never the front door and Dashilan points off home. Capital Taste Liu of experts have done some investigation, the administrative division, the front door and Dashilan from the early Qing Dynasty to the founding of new China has been together. For example, he said, in 1952 the city of Beijing is divided into seven districts, Dashilan end by the front door and front door area management. Until 1958, only the zoning pattern of things today. However. Qianmen Street and Dashilan transformation in 2008 have been completed, infrastructure upgrades, road widening, the surrounding traffic optimization, as both sides brought a new atmosphere. Qianmen Street, why not take this opportunity to join forces and Dashilan it?

Dai Bin, vice president of China Tourism Research believes that the front door and has a very high resource Dashilan similarity and richness. Joint activities to save government expenditure. He suggested that the tourism sector should be coordinated with two areas, "only cooperation can really attract consumers to restore the old front door Dashilan business culture, revitalizing historic neighborhoods."
