Imagine strolling through a living time capsule where 1920s charm collides with modern energy! 🌆 Xiamen’s Zhongshan Road – a 99-year-old arcade-style street – is serving major vibes this week, blending nostalgic architecture with TikTok-worthy snack queues and indie boutiques.
🔍 Why it’s lit: Beneath those iconic Nanyang-style colonnades (think: Southeast Asian meets European flair), you’ll find grandma-approved sha cha noodles shops rubbing shoulders with neon-lit craft beer bars. It’s like a K-drama set come to life – minus the scripted romance!
📸 Don’t miss: CGTN’s live cam catching the chaotic-good energy of morning vendors rolling up shutters, foodies forming Insta-famous dumpling lines, and street artists turning alley walls into memeable masterpieces. Pro tip: Watch for the ‘xiao long bao’ steam clouds – they’re basically edible special effects. 🥟💨
