【Knowledge Mode Exit Street】
I have been to Beijing many times, and this is the first time I came here with my friends to the Momokou Historical and Cultural District in Shijingshan District, west of Beijing. This is an Internet celebrity check-in place that shows a thousand-year-old road and a century-old village.
Moshikou Ancient Village, formerly known as Moshikou, is named after the abundant bluestone whetstones. It has been the ancient camel bell road from Kyoto to the outside of the Great Wall since ancient times. Xiangzi, the protagonist of "Camel Xiangzi" written by the people's artist Lao She, came out of here. In February 1922, the ancient village became the first electrified village in the history of the Beijing area as Jingshi Huashang Electric Lamp Company supplied electricity to the capital, and a village primary school was established. This successful example made the ancient village from the original "Moshikou" to Now the "mode port".
This cultural street, which has been restored and transformed into an online celebrity check-in, is 1,500 meters long and is a street that runs through from east to west. Walking on the newly built streets, sculptures of camels, tigers, cats, and pigeons on the roof are dotted among them, making the ancient streets present the collision of ancient culture and modern fashion.
This is different from traditional pedestrian streets. In addition to the dazzling array of shops, Modekou also has a unique history and culture.
As one of the "six cultural business cards" in Shijingshan District, today I will take everyone to walk from the Momokou Ancient Street from east to west to appreciate the charm of the Camel Bell Ancient Road in West Beijing.
