A visit to Wunnan Old Street

The arcade buildings on Wenchang City's Wunnan Old Street were built in the 1920s, making it the third largest arcade old street in Hainan (only after Haikou Old Street and Wenchang Puxian Old Street). Due to its relatively intact preservation and unique Nanyang style, many film and television dramas, such as 'The Roots of the Taiwanese', have been shot here. In fact, this type of arcade old street is a common form of commercial street in regions like Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian, and Hainan. I believe the emergence of this form of commercial street is greatly related to the rainy climate of these provinces. The architectural style of Wunnan Old Street carries a strong Nanyang influence, which is related to the large number of people who went to the Nanyang region in the early years. Thanks to the government's recent restoration and maintenance, the buildings of Wunnan Old Street have been well preserved. They are considered distinctive architecture in Wenchang and in the Hainan region. If you come to Wenchang, Wunnan Old Street is a must-visit spot.
