What are the streetscapes and buildings that reflect the city s character?

The character of a city is often expressed through the characteristic architecture of the place. China has a vast territory, and different cities have different style characteristics, so there are many different characteristic street scenes and buildings. Do you know which streetscapes and buildings best reflect a city's character?

01. TV TowerTV Tower is a building used for radio and television transmission. Because of this, the building is often at a high altitude, and the design and construction will be appropriately integrated into the local characteristics, so it is easier to become a local characteristic building. It is also a representative of the modern architecture of the city.

For example, Guangzhou's landmark Xiaomanxiao and Shanghai's Oriental Pearl Tower are both TV towers, and they are also buildings that show the characteristics of Guangzhou and Shanghai, attracting many people to go sightseeing.

02. As the saying goes, "people take food as the sky", and every city is indispensable to snack streets. The snack street is often a collection of many food shops or stalls, bringing together local specialties, with a strong atmosphere of life and fireworks. When you step into it, you can feel the life and food of the people of a place, and feel the uniqueness of the place.

Therefore, the snack street is also a street scene that can show the construction of the city very well.

03. If you want to understand a city, go to its museum. The museum is a business card used by the locals to introduce and publicize their own style. Museums often collect the history of a city's development from ancient times to the present, and it is an all-knowing local chronicle, and it is also the building that best shows the characteristics of the city.

But all the characteristics and information related to the city itself, you can find the corresponding answers in the museum. No two museums are the same, they are all depictions and portrayals of the self.

So these are some of the streetscapes and buildings that can show the characteristics of the city. In fact, in addition to these, there are many buildings with unique urban characteristics, such as cultural corridors and parks.

I think there are many landscapes and buildings that can show the characteristics of the city, such as the Oriental Pearl in Shanghai, the Erqi Pagoda in Zhengzhou, and the Tiananmen Square in Beijing, which can fully show the characteristics of these cities.

For example, the Eiffel Tower in France shows the style of the city, has a romantic color, and makes people think of the Eiffel Tower when they think of France. Like the Statue of Liberty in the United States.

You can take a look at Zhouzhuang or the Humble Administrator's Garden in Suzhou, Zhouzhuang can give you a better understanding of the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River. The Humble Administrator's Garden is the epitome of Suzhou's garden art.

The charm of a city's Bai architecture is often reflected in the cultural unity and integrity of the city, and the classical Hui architecture in the West has been fully protected, and the modern architecture is often built on the periphery of the city or in another new city. For example, the architecture of ancient Rome, Renaissance architecture and Baroque architecture all reflect the continuity of Western architectural culture. For example, in the mid-19th century, Haussmann, the administrator of the Seine district of France, carried out a large-scale renovation project in the center of Paris, which is a successful example.

In some ancient cities in China, in order to blindly reflect modernization, the city walls and alleys have been destroyed, and even those modern buildings that embody the connection between ancient and contemporary have been demolished, and the preserved ancient buildings have become isolated scenic spots. At the same time, many "ancient" buildings were built for tourism. On the contrary, those ancient cities far from the modern center, such as Pingyao in Shanxi and Lijiang in Yunnan, have been included in the world cultural heritage because of their good protection, and have become the memory of our national history and culture.

Of course, there are some successful examples in the metropolis. For example, in the case of Shanghai, Zhang Qinnan mentioned in his article "Reading the City", he said that the old bank building on the Bund, the renovated open attraction - the Bund, the Oriental Pearl Tower across the river, and the rising high-rise buildings in Lujiazui reflect the time sequence of Shanghai's past, present and future, respectively.
