There are more than ten wharves and more than 200 ships carrying goods. It can be seen that at that time, the business of qiaoshi was developed and the market was prosperous.

From Lianshui to Xiangjiang and Dongting, you can reach Changsha, Wuhan and Shanghai. A heavy ship of more than ten tons can be driven when the water rises. When this kind of wooden boat goes into the water, it is called "daopaizi" because its tail is at the head. Grain and general merchandise are transported by ship from downstream cities, while coal, iron pots and other local specialties in mountainous areas are also transported. Water transport is very busy all the year round. On the Bank of the river, you can always see the white sails going up against the water and the fiber pullers, and hear their fiber pullers. The smell is very strong.

At that time, Qiaotou River was nicknamed "little Nanjing". In the former closed society, due to the influence of foreign population, such as women perm their hair and wear high-heeled shoes, men wear top hats, smoke cigarettes, play mahjong, ride bicycles and wear suits. There are so many commodities from big cities. Someone set up a power plant and every household used electric lights. A foreign Catholic missionary set up a hospital. There are cinemas, photo studios (using glass as negatives), and ice packs (popsicles) and ice planers. The children who sell fish also shout to sell "American live crucian carp", "American glass belt" (transparent plastic belt), and many American aid materials are sold on the market.
