2、e. If you have some problems during the trip, you can just ask me. Here, I wish everyone have a nice trip! First, I would like to give you a brief overview of the Residence of the Five Old Street.In fact, the area includes six roads; they are Chengdu road, Chongqi road, Changde road, Dali road, Muna
3、n road, and Machang road. Why do people call it “five grand roads”? The reason is that people just obey the saying provided by official.

4、 presidents, 7 premiers and many officials, as well as so many famous educationist, experts and generals lived in there.The Five Old Street are developed because of the history of foreign settlement in Tianjin. From 1860 to 1903, 9 foreign countries set up their settlements in the area by military f
5、orce and unequal treaties. After that, they constructed so many buildings in their own styles. Several styles of building appeared in the area, likes Baroque, Rococo, Classical, Roman and so on. Its really an “exposition of architectures from thousands countries”.Now, we are arriving at the Five Old
6、 Street. Everyone please pay attention to your luggage and take with your precious goods together. Our carriages number is Jin A2345. Please close the windows which are nearby you.

10、zhang. Coming inside, we see a group of steps. There are totally 17 and half steps. Let me tell you the special implication of the steps. In ancient china, the number “9” symbolically means the sun, and 99 is the extreme number of the sun, which could only be applied by the emperor. Xiaodezhang want
11、ed to build it into 18 steps, but for fear to be criticized by the emperor. So he just built it 17.5 steps. Xiaodezhang want to express that his position is under the emperor but over thousands of other people. Lets look at the main building. There are 94 rooms in original, but when Zaizhen moved in
12、, he added 8 rooms. Now please follow me to the back garden. Its small, but we can see all kinds of things inside, rockeries, little bridges, passageways, pavilions and so forth.Now lets go on our visit. We are now arrived at “Yueweixian” restaurant.

14、ack to Spring and Autumn period, Qin and Han dynasty.
