Bafang Thirteen Lane is a typical Hui community, which consists of eight lanes, including Big Square, Seven Square, West Square, North Square, Tiejia Square, Qianheyan Square, Laowang Square and Xinwang Square, Daxie Lane, Xiaonan Lane, Bakou Lane, North Lane, Shageleng Lane, Commissioner Lane, Danan Lane and Renyi Lane. The street structure was first formed in the early Qing Dynasty and has the main characteristics of Linxia traditional architecture. All kinds of mosques are solemn, beautiful and spectacular, combining China's classical architectural style and Arabic cultural characteristics. The existing Muslim-inhabited courtyards, mosques and other buildings are magnificent, with skirt buildings, attics, brick carvings, wood carvings and other special crafts.
Linxia City follows the construction concept of "preserving the past, restoring the past and creating the past" and the principle of "repairing the old as before, restoring the original appearance and making rational use", and divides the 13 th Lane of Eight Directions into eight functional areas, including waterfront leisure area, courtyard leisure area, original scenery sightseeing area, creative workshop area, cultural Expo area and folk customs area, and implements the protection and renovation project of ancient street houses with a total investment of 340 million yuan in stages, strictly. Up to now, the investment in the first phase of the project has exceeded 100 million yuan, of which the No.80 courtyard of Daxie Lane has been completed, and the No.64 and No.65 courtyards of Daxie Lane have completed 90% of the total engineering quantity.
The protection and reconstruction project of the ancient houses in the 13th Lane of Bafang makes full use of the special natural environment and human resources, selectively uses the characteristic landscape language, and integrates Hui brick carving, Han woodcut and Tibetan painting, integrating ethnic characteristics, leisure tourism, green ecology, humanities and science and education. At the same time, combined with the block shape and surrounding environment, regional facilities and construction projects are systematically arranged and rationally planned to ensure the national characteristics and development momentum of the eight lanes and thirteen lanes.
Hongshui River flows through Linxia City from west to east, and also flows through Bafangshisan Lane. Aiming at the problems of river pollution and low flood control ability, Linxia invested nearly 654.38 billion yuan to comprehensively control the river in the urban section, turning the original smelly river into a scenic river.
Xinxi Road is a main road in the old city of Linxia, and it is also the core road of all directions and thirteen lanes. In view of the problems of narrow road surface, traffic congestion and serious aging and damage of pipe network, Linxia City invested 65.438+0.93 billion yuan to implement a comprehensive renovation project, and built it into a characteristic block integrating Islamic characteristics display, ethnic product management and ethnic customs sightseeing.
Hongyuan Square and People's Park are located at the northern end of Bafangshisan Lane, with many residents around and obvious location advantages. Linxia invested/kloc-0.5 million yuan to build an assembly area, a landscape area, a fitness area, a children's activity area and a tourism and leisure area, which not only improved the city's taste, but also enriched the people's cultural life.
Eight lanes and thirteen lanes are effectively connected and integrated with Hongshui River, Xinxi Road, Hongyuan Square and other scenic spots, forming an ecological landscape with strong ethnic customs.
The ultimate goal of promoting the protection and utilization of cultural resources in Linxia City is to make Eight Directions Thirteen Lane a city card, a must-see destination, an important supporting point of Linxia's historical and cultural city, a provincial-level cultural tourism demonstration base, a national-level historical and cultural block, and the best tourist destination of Islamic culture in China.
