It is a well-known street in China for its long history and beautiful traditions coming from its ancient culture. This street is composed of three sections each of which fully reflects its prosperous past and its important position as a transportation center: Ming Street, Qing Street and the Old Pier. Ming Street was established in the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) and is nearly 90 meters long and 3 meterswide. This arch-shaped street is paved with blue bricks, which are put together and arranged in the shape of turtle shells. From a distance it seems as if crowds of tortoises are creeping toward the pier from the village. The old buildings flanking the sides of the street are very well preserved and have survived through more than 600 years. Qing Street was established in the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) and is much longer and wider than the Ming Street. It is 231 meters long and about 4 meters wide and is paved with long blue flagstones. The ruts on the stones were created by the old-fashioned wheelbarrows that were in common use in the past. The street was a very prosperous commercial area during the Qing Dynasty and the shops, teahouses and residences along side of the street are well preserved. The Old Pier is made up of three layers of blue stones. Since the Ming Dynasty it has been an important pier for ferries. From here the exquisitely beautiful and fancy porcelains of Jingdezhen were transported to places across China and around the world. This is a pier that can meet the requirements of transportation during any season. The pier played an very important role in transporting the porcelains to outside world. Located on this ancient pier is the famous Sanlumiao Temple established to memorialize the great poet, Qu Yuan. Last, but not the least, do not miss several well-maintained local residences, most of which were built during the Ming and Qing dynasties. These exquisitely designed and decorated residences were clearly the elite residences of their time and demonstrate the highest skills and architectural knowledge of Chinese artisans of their eras.
