The North Gate Street historical block is an important part of the overall protection framework of Quzhou City, a famous historical and cultural city, which is ‘one river, six gates, two districts, and one core’. It is one of the only two historical and cultural blocks remaining in Quzhou urban area.
Entering from the southern end of North Gate Street, facing you is the landmark building of Quzhou City back then: the bell tower. Every morning, when the first rays of sunlight shine and the morning mist is like wisps, the bell rings. At this time, the morning chanting in Dazhong Xiangfu Temple nearby begins. The vitality of Quzhou for a day rises together with the morning glow and this bell.
Next to the bell tower is the unremarkable Confucius Residence. In fact, this was the residence of Mr. Yu Shaosong, a famous cultural figure, local chronicler, and calligrapher and painter in Zhejiang Province.
After all, North Gate Street has entered the 21st century. The spring flowers and autumn moon, silk skirts and sleeves have long been replaced by different generations of clothing. Today, people are in a hurry on the street. All kinds of fashionable clothes are colorful and set off against the ancient street surface, giving off an exceptionally charming charm.
The specific business hours and opening status are subject to the actual opening situation on that day.
