Before the epidemic, there were many people, and the door could be finches in the epidemic. Now it seems that there are not many people, and many shops are not open. I saw many tower crane owners in the meantime, is this under repair?

On the weekend of midsummer, the wind was beautiful, and the car was parked in the underground parking lot of Beijing Fang. I came to Qianmen Street to see what she looked like today. Qianmen Street is a very famous commercial street in Beijing. It is located on the central axis of Beijing, from Qianmen Moon Bay to the north, and from the south to the intersection of the flyover, which is connected to the flyover South Street. Ming Jiajing 29 (1550) before the construction of the outer city is the emperor out of the city to the Temple of Heaven, the mountain and river altar of the imperial road, after the construction of the outer city for the main north and south streets of the outer city, the people commonly known as Qianmen Street. In the 1960s, there were Dabei Photographer, Qinglin Chunqianmen Street Tea Shop, Tongsanyi Fruit Seafood Store, Lili Restaurant, Tiancheng Zhaizhai Shop, Cheapfang Roast Duck Shop, Laozhengxing Restaurant, Platinum Wash and Dyeing Store, Yizhao cotton department store, Qianmen hardware store and other shops; From the west to the south, there are Yueshengzhai Sauce Meat Shop, Huayi Clocks and Watch Shop, Qingyutang Pharmacy, One-stop Mutton Restaurant, Shengxi Fumao Store, Gongxing Cultural Goods Store, Xiangju Gongpu, Longshuncheng Woodenware Store, Qianmen Street Marope Store, Qianmen Bicycle Store, Qianmen Trust Store and other shops. After 1979, while the original old-fashioned stores and traditional business characteristics were basically retained, new stores such as hardware and electricity, clothing department stores, bicycles, food, clocks and watches, chemical paints and other stores were opened one after another. In the 21st century, Qianmen Street was planned to be renovated, and the original building appearance has disappeared, replaced by antique buildings with all gray walls and tiles. Only the original Qianmen Street Beitou Road West Yueshengzhai small building still looks a little before, but it is already a matter of people, hanging a sign of a certain coffee. Today, Qianmen Street has become a pedestrian street, only the old Beijing jingle car can "show" through the market. Single, waiting for several old brands are still there, more are new faces that keep pace with the times. For example, Yufei Beef Noodles, a close-to-people beef noodle restaurant in Jinsong Middle Street, now also has a place on Qianmen Street. Turn into the coal market street parallel to Qianmen Street, you can also see the old appearance before Qianmen Street was remodeled.
