Chinese and Western integration allows old buildings to rejuvenate vitality

One story on the first floor, one street and one culture. Qimingli, as one of the early overseas Chinese settlements in Jiangmen, retains the unique architectural style of the 20th century and witness the development of Jiangmen along the way. Here, hundreds of overseas Chinese buildings stand up, and the old house of blue brick tiles complement the lush trees. After the activation of Qiming, the centuries -old vicissitudes of overseas Chinese have become characteristic online red shops, attracting many tourists. History and modern, tradition and fashion are reflected here. Hidden in the alley in Qimingli, there is a Western -style private dish transformed from a century -old building -dragon tiger leopard.

Da Yin Yinshi

Before Qiming became the Internet celebrity block, Dragon Tiger and Leopard had "out of the circle" early. With the strong comparison of the building style and Western -style catering, they received a lot of praise.

Dragon Tiger and Leopard, this very Chinese style, has become a western -style private restaurant that restores the style of the old overseas Chinese hometown under the creation of the owner Huang Zhongjie. The Chinese -style old house, the name of Chinese style, is indeed Western food. "We can feel the strong Chinese and Western cultural collisions here." Huang Zhongjie said that he didn't want to let people see through this shop, and the strong contrast was interesting.

Talking about the original intention of opening the store, Huang Zhongjie said that at first he wanted to find a quiet place to do his own thing, and also wanted to present what you learned outside. Huang Zhongjie worked in Hong Kong in his early years. He walked south to north and touched many Western cultures. What touched him deeply was the conservation of old houses in the West. After deciding to return to his hometown, he looked around and wanted to find a quiet, historical and cultural old building to carry his dreams. "I want to share a lot of diet and culture with you." Huang Zhongjie said.

After several times, a chance, Huang Zhongjie came to the location of the dragon, tiger and leopard. What he fancy is the heavy historical heritage and quietness of Qiming. "It's like an old castle hidden in the city. The castle is isolated from the world, but going out is a bustling metropolis. There is a strong sense of time and space." When the car was horse, when he walked through the streets to reach the dragon and tiger and leopard, the hustle and bustle of the city gradually stayed behind him.

Feel the sense of ritual of Western food

The dragon tiger and leopard are composed of two nearby houses. There is not much space, but there is a mystery. When I walked into the dragon, tiger and leopard, the first thing I saw was a bar, full of various wine bottles, and looked up to look up the four words "Being a Wine" and hung it in the middle of the wall, watching around the wall Hanging a picture full of age, echoing the quaint of the old house, creating a unique atmosphere for the old house under the irradiation of warm yellow light.

When I first met the old house, there was still a wolf borrowing here. People have been idle for a long time to go to the empty house, a scene of breakthrough. Huang Zhongjie took almost 4 months to make the ancient house rejuvenated. As small as a wooden table, Huang Zhongjie did the same as the decoration of the house.

The guests who come here are the most accompanied by classical music. This is also the "nirvana" that is different from many restaurants. In the restaurant of Dragon Tiger Leopard, there are all kinds of vinyl records everywhere. This is also from Huang Zhongjie's love. He shared the singing discs that have been collected for many years with diners. Along with the background of classical music, taste a western food, drink a sip of red wine, raise your hands to throw a sense of ritual, and immerse themselves in this quiet life in a fast -paced life. Huang Zhongjie hopes that everyone can feel the sense of rituals of Western food.

"For me, listening to classical music in a quiet house and entering the world of classical music is a very pleasant thing." Now, walking into the alley in Qiming in Qiming, pushing away the ancient gate of the old house of the century -old house, Through the green outdoor porch, pick up a favorite record, pour a glass of whiskey, and quietly appreciate the classical music of the old house in the old house ... This is Huang Zhongjie's favorite living state, and it is also a one he must do every day. Things.

Under Huang Zhongjie's care, the old house became more and more energetic.

Not only a restaurant, but also a museum of the Overseas Chinese Museum

Jumping grid, cycling, playing gyro, tasting Taishan authentic cuisine ... Every holiday, a large number of tourists in Sanquan Bay overseas Chinese cultural theme restaurant ("Sanquan Bay") located in Sanhe Town, Taishan City will usher in a large number of tourists. extraordinary. The building where Sanquan Bay was located was founded in 1923. Under the creation of the person in charge Huang Jingxin and his team, the old building nearly a century of old buildings rejuvenated and became the Overseas Chinese Museum of Overseas Chinese Culture. Let more people know about Taishan overseas Chinese culture

"At that time, we happened to find a small road leading to this village. When we saw the foreign tower in the village, we were shocked." Recalling the scene of seeing "Sanquan Bay" at first, Huang Jingxin's memory was still fresh. After the old tree at the entrance of the village, several foreign buildings were lined up, and each foreign building has a unique personality. In appearance, there are both Roman architectural styles and the cultural connotation of Lingnan architecture.

The green brick structure is telling a century -old story quietly. "At that time, there was a 'that was it, and it was destined to feel." In 2017, Huang Jingxin hoped to create a cultural theme restaurant in overseas Chinese and found more than 20 villages. Changtan Village where Sanquan Bay is now.

At that time, the old building had been deserted for many years because of the homeowner's abroad. "If you don't change the fate of these old houses, you may never see this kind of old house again in the future." Huang Jingxin has been engaged in the tourism industry for more than 20 years, and has been deeply understanding that "culture is the soul of tourism". He felt their nostalgia and deep emotions on his hometown in the old overseas Chinese, so when he started a new project, he wanted more tourists to feel the overseas Chinese culture of Taishan.

"The emotional carrier of many old overseas Chinese is an old house, and every foreign building has a lot of sadness and joy." Huang Jingxin hoped to spread these stories.

In Huang Jingxin's idea, Sanquan Bay is not only a restaurant, but also a "overseas Chinese culture" experience base. The old building, which is located in Sanhe Town, Sanhe Town in Hot Spring Town, and less than 5 minutes by driving away from Yihe Hot Spring, has become the first choice for Huang Jingxin.

Old houses tell the story of overseas Chinese

In order to make these foreign buildings rejuvenate, Huang Jingxin contacted the descendants of overseas Chinese and renovated them through renovation. "We retained the original charm of Yanglou. The appearance of the house was repaired as old as the old. He also added a specially collected ordinary overseas Chinese to restore the lives of the overseas Chinese." In Huang Jingxin, the old house seems to be silently telling this. The century -old story, even the blue brick with moss, is just like human skin, with temperature, so it must be repaired as old.

In the process of repairing, Huang Jingxin also restored a landscape painting on the outer wall, and the content inside surprised him. This is a mural of 1924. In the picture, the mountains are towering and the mountains are lush. In the green mountains and green water, there is a small house. The two old overseas Chinese wearing a hat and holding a cane in front of the house are talking. There is a taste of traditional Chinese landscapes. Unexpectedly, there is a flying train on the right side of the mural.

"The owner specially added the element of the train to the mural. From this we can see that the Xinning Railway at that time had a profound impact on overseas Chinese people." Huang Jingxin said.

In order to allow the old house to show more overseas Chinese culture, Huang Jingxin not only joined the collected overseas Chinese tokens, but also contacted the owner of the house, showing the items they used that year, so that every corner of the house was full of overseas Chinese elements. Because of this, many tourists who come to play say that this is not only a restaurant, but also an overseas Chinese museum.

In terms of product design, Huang Jingxin has played many years of tourism experience, pays attention to the participation and experience of tourists, and provides a variety of entertainment methods such as playing gyro, iron rings, skipping rope, and tug of war. Essence Extending from the culture of the village township to the food culture, Huang Jingxin dug Taiwan's ingredients, highlighting local cuisine such as Ai, Bai Zi cake, and Wuwei Goose. He also deliberately tapped the stories of the uncle's stove.

"We hope that this old house can become a window to show the overseas Chinese culture of Taishan, which has aroused the interest and attention of foreign tourists for overseas Chinese culture, and has resonated and remembered." Huang Jingxin said.

Three -story

Centennial ancient house spread Chinese tea culture

Xinhui is a historical and cultural city of millennium ancient counties and Guangdong Province, with profound historical and cultural heritage. Near the Xinhui Guifeng Hotel, there is an old building, and "He Garden" is hidden. This is a restaurant that focuses on Chinese tea drinks and private rooms. Opening a social "grass" platform, many users voluntarily "plant grass" for it, saying that they have passed through a century and come to the ancient house of the Republic of China. The owner Junwei said that he hopes that more people can appreciate the charm of the old house and let more people feel the beauty of the old building through their own small efforts.

Attracted by the charm of old buildings

He Garden is located in the Garden Lane, Zhizheng North Road, Xinhui District. According to reports, Huicheng has a large number of historical buildings and cultural relics and monuments, and has been included in more than 100 non -mobile cultural relics lists. The preservation of ancient buildings and ancient ruins is relatively well -preserved, which truly reflects the original historical style. Knowing that the North Road of the North Road was the central axis of the ancient county of Gangzhou that year, full of heavy historical and cultural heritage of Xinhui.

"We just wanted to find a small shop to do business. We didn't expect to see this old building, and we couldn't open our eyes, and at a glance." Although it exceeded a lot of budgets, it was convinced of the charm of the old building. Junwei still decided to decide Start his entrepreneurial story here. Enter from the side, passing the small yard, to the second floor, you will find another world. The antique terrace, the colorful Manchu window is telling you that this is an old building. From the perspective of the terrace, you can also see the blue bricks and green tiles of other old houses. However, when you look up, it is another scene. Together of the construction of different ages, it truly reflects the historical changes of the city.

This sense of time and space is often a feeling of crossing. Hidden in the downtown, Junwei feels that such an old building has souls, which is completely different from today's modern buildings. It is worthy of more people to appreciate and dig its beauty. "The charm of the millennium ancient county is among these historical buildings." Junwei said.

In the process of repairing the renovation, Junwei did not restore the original appearance of the old house like others. This old house has gone through many homeowners and tenants, leaving a trace of many years. Junwei feels that this is also a charm of the old house, retaining this trace can see the passage and change of years.

What impressed Junwei was that after a friend knew that he used his old house to start a business, he also wanted to transform and activate his ancestral house, but found that because he did not love well, many places had been eroded by termites. "Later, he came to visit us here to see what the old house was like." Junwei felt that the significance of the old house was not just as simple as architecture, and sometimes it carried people's feelings.

Old house is very good with Chinese tea drinks

What business should retro architecture and retro culture be carried out to match the old house? This issue has always troubled Junwei at the beginning of the business.

At the beginning, Heyuan was just a small fan shop, and the ancient wind terrace on the second floor was not fully opened. But in April this year, Heyuan began to transform into Chinese tea and private dishes.

"Old houses are stylish, and Chinese tea also contains Chinese traditional culture. The two are very matching." Junwei family often travels abroad. It is very popular to see Chinese tea in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. To the extreme of the charm of tea tasting, I also wanted to lead this lifestyle to the Xinhui.

"Three or five confidants, tasting tea here and eating some private rooms, just like at home." Junwei hoped that he could make He Garden a private communication space. Many people can feel the charm of Chinese tea.

Boil tea from the furnace to smell the warm fragrance, and like a good time on earth. When the weather was getting colder, Junwei also planned to launch "Boil of Tea" to restore the scene of the ancient people in winter to cook tea in winter. "In the old house, take a small furnace of red mud, give birth to a furnace warm fire, cook a pot of tea, and talk about the world with friends. What kind of joy is that?" Junwei said.
