Nanshan Road

Nanshan Road

Nanshan Road is located in the core of the old urban area of Hangzhou, Southeast of the South West Lake scenic spot. It is adjacent to Xihu Avenue, Hefang Street, Wushan and wansongling in the East, Jiefang Road in the north and Hubin Road in the north, yuhuangshan road in the south, Hupao road and Xishan Road in the West. It is named because all the mountains in the West Hunan are called Nanshan, and the road is around the lake and near the mountain.

Historical changes

Nanshan Road was more than 4300 meters long and 20 meters wide. The section to the north of qingbomen road was rebuilt after the ancient city wall was demolished in the Republic of China. It was named Yongjin road and Nanshan Road. Later it was renamed yingbai road in memory of Huang yingbai (Ying), a political figure of the Kuomintang. After the founding of the people's Republic of China, it was renamed Nanshan Road. The section to the south of qingbomen road was originally shibantu Road, which was the only way to Jingsi Jinxiang and southwest mountainous areas. Since the ninth year of the Republic of China (1920), Hangzhou transformed the lakeside and built a road around the lake, this road is called Nanping Road, which is named because it is located at the foot of Nanping mountain. In the 22nd year of the Republic of China, after paving asphalt and widening the pavement, Nanshan Road and Nanping Road became the important passageway connecting the south line of the West Lake scenic spot in the urban area, and their geographical position was very superior. In 1964, Nanshan Road was merged with Nanping Road, which was called Huanhu road; in 1981, it was renamed Nanshan Road. The integration project of West Lake South Route scenic spot was completed in October 2002, which changed the tourism pattern of West Lake in the past. Nanshan Road starts from Lakeside Park in the north and reaches the lakeside zone in the west of Nanshan Road in Changqiao Park in the south. The lakeside line is 3 km long.

Historic city

Nanshan Road is located in the area of the combination of city and lake. According to historical records, it is along the west city wall of the capital of Wuyue and Southern Song Dynasty and the ancient city of Hangzhou in the late Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties. From south to north, there were qianwuhu gate, Qingbo gate and Yongjin gate along the lake, and then to the north, there were Qiantang gate and Wulin gate. Lin'an (Hangzhou), the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty, set up a royal palace in Fenghuang Mountain and wansongling mountain. Lin'an government moved to the north of qingbomen, and was founded by fengguoni Temple (i.e. zhuyuanshan Jingyin Temple). At that time, the surrounding area of Wushan mountain and the east side of Nanshan Road were the political and economic centers, and they were very prosperous until yuan, Ming, Qing and modern times.

Sunset Glow at Leifeng Pagoda

During the opening of the underground palace, many cultural relics were excavated, among which the most precious one is the Ayu pagoda dedicated to Sakyamuni Buddha's Luoji hair relic.

Evening Bell Ringing at the Nanping Hill

Among the ten sceneries of the West Lake, the only one that takes the magic tools of Buddhist temples as a landscape is the "Nanping evening bell" in Jingci temple.

In ancient times, when the bronze bell was ringing, the bell was loud, the mountain was ringing, the valley was echoing, and "Nanping evening bell" became famous.
