During the Yuan Dynasty, the streets in Beijing were so wide and clean that the Italian Marco Polo was full of praise: "The streets are very straight, and one end can be seen from the other end. They are arranged so that one door can be seen from the street to the other door." It can be seen from this that if the street environment conditions are not good, it will be difficult to see the other door from one door from a distance.
Reader comments
This book reminded me of my childhood in Beijing. The streets at that time were not as bustling as they are now, but they had a unique charm. By reading this book, I learned about the transportation and travel methods of old Beijing, and also felt the historical changes. This is not only a book about Beijing, but also a book that makes people recall the past and think about the future. Recommended to friends who like Beijing culture!
