On December 17, Guangzhou held an on-site meeting to promote the "High-quality Development Project of 100 Counties, Thousands of Towns and Villages" to promote the coordinated development of urban and rural areas. Before the meeting, the participants visited research points in various parts of Guangzhou, and one of the stops was Rongdri, Nangang Street, Huangpu District.
Walking into Rongdeli, there are not only the original Lingnan architectural communities built according to the principle of repairing the old as the old, but also the commercial outer streets built with reference to the urban design concept of Singapore, etc., whether it is "Laoguang" or new Guangzhou, people can find cultural resonance here, and it is a good place for the surrounding people to find Lingnan nostalgia and feel the modern trend, and it has become a new "Internet celebrity check-in point" in Huangpu District.
Rong Delhi is a historical and cultural protection block built by Shabu Community of Nangang Street in the process of renovating the old village, which will be officially completed in July 2023. The Rongdeli project is located in the original Shabu Lubu Street, close to the Lubu Jiao Ancient Canal, covering an area of about 60,000 square meters, with a construction area of more than 9,000 square meters, and nearly 2,000 square meters of cultural relics and traditional buildings.
In accordance with the principle of "repairing the old as the old", Rong Delhi hires a professional team and intangible cultural heritage craftsmen to restore and protect it, and create an authentic Lingnan architectural community. The site around the lake will be built into a park as a whole, and the island in the middle of the lake and 71 large banyan trees will be retained to form a traditional Lingnan style garden, so as to realize "returning the trees to the people" and "returning the scenery to the people". At the same time, it digs deep into and revitalizes traditional culture, takes the positioning of "Lingnan Waterfront Neighborly Market", and makes efforts in the two major ideas of "new life and experience" and "old feelings and perception" to create the most beautiful wedding street, Cantonese opera cultural corridor and Maritime Silk Road Cultural Square.
The total investment of the Nangang Street Shabu old renovation project is expected to exceed 26 billion yuan. Referring to Singapore's urban design concept, the project focuses on building a large-scale community integrating residential, commercial, office and industrial areas, as well as the "green core" of the eastern city of Guangzhou. As a typical sample of the activation and utilization of historical context, Rongdeli will introduce a professional team to hold a series of intangible cultural heritage activities in the future, and innovate to build a commercial waterfront ancient street based on the original Lingnan traditional ancient buildings, focusing on the introduction of time-honored restaurants, wedding planning and characteristic homestays, and create a new business card of millennium Shabu history and culture.
