Jiefang Street is connected with Park Road in the east and Fu Qian Street in the west. The street is 400 meters long and 12 meters wide, and there are 14 lanes on both sides of the street. Legend has it that it began in the Eastern Jin Dynasty and remained unchanged in the Tang and Song Dynasties. In Qing Dynasty, it was renamed Wuma Street, and in 1934 it was renamed Zhongshan Road. After 1949, the name of Wuma Street was restored, and in 1974 it was changed to asphalt pavement.
According to the reconstruction plan, the biggest highlight of the west entrance is to carve a three-dimensional map of Wenzhou old town with bluestone, with an area exceeding 100 square meter. Concentrate the old town of Wenzhou on a map, let the public know the features of the old town of Wenzhou, and erect a street sign of Wuma Street at the intersection, which echoes the ground sculpture at the east entrance. In addition, at the same time as the renovation, a special car passage will be set up here, allowing only one car to pass, thus solving the problem of parking and misplacing.
Construction planning
The design scheme of Wumajie historical and cultural business circle integrates Zen Street, Wumajie and Park Road, and becomes the main artery of Wumajie historical and cultural business circle in the form of pedestrian street and slow travel. Zen Street is positioned as the continuation and supplement of Wuma Street to the west under the overall goal framework, and at the same time, it should play a role in driving and enhancing the declining vitality of Wuma Street. The planning and design of Chanjie transplanted the local architectural features of the Republic of China to the facade of Chanjie.
In terms of landscape transformation, based on the excavation of the history of cicada street and the characteristics of street space, the design has made four nodes from east to west, namely Yanchi Ancient Bridge, Quechi Jinghong, Songtai Sunset and Vientiane One Heart. In June, 2022, Wenzhou Wuma historical and cultural block was named as the first provincial night culture and tourism consumption gathering area.
