晚清时期,中国的工商业有了明显发展,尤其在北京、上海、广州等大城市更是突飞猛进。在这些城市里,昔日的集市、庙会、商号、店铺依然存在,而且还兴起了以售洋货为主的新式商店和新兴商业街。这些建筑为老城风情增添了些许近代的色彩。 In the late Qing Dynasty, China’s industrial and commercial development has been marked, especially in major cities such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. In these cities, the old markets, temple fairs, trade names, and shops still exist, and new stores and emerging commercial streets, mainly selling foreign goods, have emerged. These buildings add a touch of modernity to the style of the Old City.
