The feeling I get from China right now is that it's changing every day, in a way that people like to see, and I think it's great to be able to see the vitality of a city.

【Commentary】Taste tofu balls, "check in" nostalgic teahouses, visit cultural and creative shops... During this period, the "Walking in China, 2023 Overseas Chinese Media High-level Colorful Guizhou Tour" activity is being held in Guizhou, where 35 Chinese media guests from all over the world strolled through the streets of Guiyang City to feel the "new vitality" of the coexistence of ancient and modern, the integration of business formats, and the integrated development of culture, business and tourism after the protective upgrading of the old streets of the city.

Qingyun Road, located in Nanming District, has been a veritable "late-night canteen" in Guiyang for the past 30 years, but it is accompanied by oil smoke and noise pollution. In order to continuously improve the quality of the city, in 2020, Nanming District will implement the transformation of Qingyun Road Night Market into a trendy cultural block integrating cultural experience, art and leisure, commercial shopping and other functions.

Qingyun Market, which covers an area of more than 60 acres, was transformed from the old factory area of the original Guiyang Knitting Factory. During the visit, overseas Chinese-language media shuttled through old buildings and various cultural trend check-in spots. The steaming time-honored food shop, the stylish café, the intangible cultural heritage center that combines the exhibition and sales of aquarium horsetail embroidery cultural and creative products and on-site experience... For Zhang Feifei, who likes night market culture and market culture, visiting Qingyun Market is like opening a blind box, unlocking new discoveries along the way.

I think the whole renovation is still very, very successful, and it not only transforms the cultural life of the residents, but also boosts the local economy in various ways, and in various ways, it is to let Chinese and foreign tourists understand Guizhou in a more multi-faceted way.

In the view of He Ruina, president of Canada's "Health Times", Qingyun Market is like the use of old things, not demolished and rebuilt, but deeply excavated local characteristics, and through proper renewal and repair, let the old street retain its memory in the development of the times.

It feels like using old things, it is not completely demolished, but it is said to be displayed in a different form, that is, there are previous elements, and the organic combination of current elements, which makes people feel that it is a continuation of time, and it has a lot of cultural creativity in it, which is a very successful transformation I think.

【Commentary】Named after the Qing Dynasty Wu Zhuangyuan Cao Wei City built the Zhuangyuan Mansion, it was once one of the most prosperous commercial streets in Nanming District, Guiyang City, and in recent years, it has also fallen into a development impasse due to the aging of street facilities and narrow roads. In 2022, Nanming District of Guiyang City will launch the urban organic renewal project represented by Cao Zhuangyuan Street, Huguo Road and Nanheng Street, promoting the transformation of old residential areas, the construction of characteristic blocks, and the protection and repair of key cultural relics, so as to rejuvenate historical and cultural districts.

In Cao Zhuangyuan District, the Chinese media visited the Nanheng Street area, No. 188 Courtyard, Zhuangyuan Building and Zhuangyuan Square to learn about the history and culture of Zhuangyuan, as well as the experience and practices of Nanming District in inheriting the historical context, activating cultural values and preserving urban memory, and further promoting the functional transformation, industrial transformation and vitality improvement of the block, and empowering urban renewal on the basis of inheriting the historical context, activating cultural values, and preserving the city's memory.

In the view of Wang Guoguo, deputy editor-in-chief of Romania's "European Overseas Chinese Newspaper", Cao Zhuangyuan Street retains and inherits the organic renewal of the historical context, and will continue to enrich the memory of each generation with the pace of the times.

Before and after the transformation, I also looked at some pictures for comparison, like we said that the symbols left behind, then we passed them on. The times are moving forward step by step, and I believe that it may be another 10 or 20 years, which has become a symbol of the memory of our generation.

Zhu Yuanchen, co-founder of Canada Media Group, who came to Guizhou for the first time, said that Guiyang's ever-changing urban style and the rich and colorful spiritual life of the people also reflect China's rapid development.

After coming to Guiyang this time, I feel that I am very surprised by the urban development, road construction and greening, including some settings of cultural landscapes, which is also the development of China in recent years. Because we have been overseas for a long time, we still need to return to China often to take a look and take a walk, and through some of our stories in overseas Chinese media, more overseas tourists can understand Guizhou, understand Guiyang, know Guiyang, and then walk into Guiyang.
