Tianjin has Hongqiao, which is the old city of Tianjin and is famous for its shabby appearance. There is also Hongqiao in Beijing, but it is only a street, but the most famous Hongqiao in Beijing is Hongqiao Market.
Hongqiao market first sold aquatic products, then gradually became a freshwater pearl business, and then became the "first pearl in Beijing". Later, the reputation of Hongqiao market overseas has far surpassed Chongwen, the Temple of Heaven and even the Forbidden City, and it has become the Great Wall in foreign women's heart.
The bottom of Hongqiao market is selling aquatic products, and all kinds of lively fish and shrimp represent the high protein on people's tables, so Hongqiao market has become a barometer of aquatic products in Beijing and even North China. Maybe you will wonder, can the seller of aquatic pearls still be saved? Isn't it a little booing? But it is precisely this precipitation that makes people who buy pearls feel the breath of life and people who buy aquatic products feel the high-end luxury.
As soon as you enter the Hongqiao market, you are greeted by a strong fishy smell, but don't underestimate these aquatic products merchants, all of whom are fat, and the merchants selling pearls upstairs are the richest among the rich. A real estate expert told me that the pearl merchants at the top of Hongqiao market are worth hundreds of millions, and foreign ambassadors and the wives of visiting heads of state are their guests. Do you think you can get fat? The panoramic view of Hongqiao market looks beautiful. The signboard of Hongqiao is Pearl Hongqiao. How can a foreigner be "many"?
