Xinjiekou, Nanjing

Xinjiekou is an ancient site in Nanjing. In ancient times, it was only a quiet and lonely street with much empty space and a pond. Since 1929, the location has changed greatly; four main roads of 40-meter-width met here: Zhongshan Eastern Road, Zhongzheng Road (Zhongshan Southern Road), Hanzhong Road, and Zhongshan Road, with a traffic circle in the center. On the grounds of the new traffic circle, Xinjiekou became the newly developing commercial center. In the 1930s, many buildings sprang up, like The Domestic Bank, Zhejiang Xingye Bank, Bank of Communications, the Central Shopping Center, Dahua Theater, Xindu Theater, and Fuchang Restaurant. In the 1980s, Jinling Restaurant was the tallest building.
