history
In 1898, the front of Shenyang Railway Station became a concession area of Tsarist Russia, and the little-known trail called "Xisitiao Street" became the predecessor of the now-famous Taiyuan Street in the northeast. In 1919, the Japanese invaders forced all streets in the Manchurian Railway Attachment to Japanese names, and "Nishi-Shijo Street" was humiliatingly named " Kasuga Town "
At the beginning of 1905, the Russo- Japanese War ended with the victory of Japan. It was a war in a third country whose purpose was to plunder China's northeast. Japan occupied Shenyang and changed the original Russian "railway attachment" (in the present-day West Tower area) to the " Manchurian Railway attachment. "
In 1910, the "Manchurian Railway" built the "Fengtian Post" ( the prototype of today's Shenyang Station ). After the completion of "Fengtian Post", "Manchurian Railway" accelerated its "subsidiary" new city street plan. The so-called Xinshi Street is centered on the "Fengtian Post" and opens three main lines eastward, namely today's Zhonghua Road, Zhongshan Road, and Minzhu Road. Zhonghua Road is perpendicular to the "Fengtian Post", and the other two radiate diagonally. There is a north-south street in front of the station, which is now Shengli Avenue. There are more than a dozen streets on the same level as Shengli Avenue, and the main lines include present Nanjing Street and Heping Avenue. Today Taiyuan Street is one of the north-south commercial streets east of Shenyang Station and west of Nanjing Street. It was originally named "Kasuga Town".
After 1919, they were named Chiyoda Street, Naniwa Street, and Heian Street, which are today's Zhonghua Road, Zhongshan Road, and Minzhu Road. Chiyoda Street is perpendicular to the "Fengten Station", and the other two radiate diagonally. There is a north-south street in front of the station. Miyajima and Wakamatsu are now known as Shengli Avenue. There are more than a dozen streets parallel to them. The main lines are Kasugacho-Aobacho, Shinanocho-Yukimicho (Peace Avenue) . Kasuga Town (now Taiyuan North Street) is one of the north-south commercial streets east of the station and west of Nanjing Street. After liberation, this century-old street that has experienced vicissitudes of life was officially called "Taiyuan Street".
After 1981, in the wave of reform and opening up, Taiyuan Street has gradually developed into a commercial street filled with merchants and crowds with its convenient transportation and long commercial history.
After nearly a hundred years of historical vicissitudes, today's "Taiyuan Street Commercial District" mainly refers to the formation of Shenyang's modern commercial center with Zhonghua Road, Taiyuan Street, and Zhongshan Road as the main framework.
