一
Beidao, the former name of Maiji District, its full name is Beidaobu.
Although the name has been changed for a long time, people still use the name Beidao.
Not everyone is conservative. Although the new name is very famous, it is very easy to be confused with Maiji Town. Local people say that Maiji must refer to the vicinity of Maiji Mountain.
二
Many people have conducted research on how the name Beidaobu came about, but there is no conclusion. Some people say that because the ancient Silk Road runs along the north of the Wei River, it is called Beidaobu. , and because there is a pier for crossing the river, it is called Beidaobu. Some people say that the Longhai Railway built at that time was north of the Wei River, so it was called the North Road.
In any case, I think the origin of this name is still a mystery. When the name was changed that year, in order to prevent this memory from disappearing, the government also changed the name of the Daonan Subdistrict Office to the Beidaobu Office.

For outsiders, arriving in Beidao is a bit confusing. Why did we get to the North Road and the North Road became the South Road? Now it's North Road, North Road, and now it's South Road, and South Bridge. Fortunately, the place is not too big, otherwise, I would really think I've entered Bagua City.
The North Road is really limited to the current Daonan Road, which is the area of ??1st, 2nd and 3rd Road opposite the current train station. Read it carefully, compare it carefully with Zhangjia Village, Lujia Village, Hejia Village and Zhaizi in Daobei, and associate it with Mapaoquan, Huwang, Heiwang, etc. on the other side. At that time, there were no villages on both sides of the Weihe River. People lived very far away from the river. Far away at the foot of the mountain, so I personally think that Beidaobu does not have a long history. It should be a new town that gradually formed with the construction of the railway.

With development, North Road is no longer what it used to be. First of all, the area has expanded several times. Daobei has changed from a brick building with bungalows to an administrative center with many high-rise buildings and convenient residential areas. After reconstruction, the old city is no longer the past scene of two shops on one street, but has become a place where shops cannot give way to each other. , a crowded, luxurious, prosperous and beautiful commercial center; Qiaonan has changed its former rural appearance and become a logistics center where merchants gather and goods reach all over the world. The east side extends to Shetang and connects to the National Industrial Park; the west side reaches Chengji New Town, immediately embracing the city. The south extends towards Yingchuan and Dongke New Town;
The park is being upgraded, the square is very spacious, there are many streets, new buildings are built every day, and even the Weihe River, which used to have sewage flowing across it and mosquitoes and flies blocking its way, is also It has become a landscape park. Every night, tourists gather in droves, either sitting or walking; reminiscing about old times, exercising, admiring the moon, or watching lanterns. On both sides of the long embankment, the scenery is full of beauty, flowers are blooming, the lights are bright, the lake is clear, and the water ripples slightly. The three bridges are like rainbows, and the shadows of objects are in harmony with each other. It is a beautiful scenery in the south of the Yangtze River.

When you come to Beidao, you want to have a craving for food. There are three and four roads, hot pot, big dishes, barbecue, skewers, music restaurants, fire bars and K-lounges. As long as you have the stomach for it, as long as you can enjoy it; Cantonese, Sichuan, palace dishes, spicy and sauerkraut farm dishes, a whole food street, including Fushun beef from the grassland, Jinglaishun from the capital; sheep with ethnic characteristics Jiezi, there are eight local traditional bowls; there are sauerkraut stew from the Northeast, fish heads with chopped peppers from Western Hunan; there are mutton noodles from Lanzhou, and vegetable roll pancakes from Xiaowangfu; there are rinsed, grilled, potted, and stewed. Cut, shaved, rubbed and rolled, the steamed buns are flat and watery, and the dough is chewy and steamed with rice. Not afraid of not eating enough, just afraid of not eating enough.
If that’s not enough, you can go fishing by yourself in Shetang, go to my manor to eat chicken, go to Qingniu Garden to save hot pot, go to the intersection to eat pig trotters...

For leisure, you don’t have to go out of the city. You can spend a whole day in the water park. You can go boating, have water fights, play games, drink tea and listen to opera, play with crickets with your children, man and nature are in harmony; as night falls , you can take a look at Mapaoquan Square to see how shocking the square dance of hundreds of people is, to see how exciting and thrilling the acrobatics are, to see how dizzy the national standard is, to see how euphemistic Tai Chi is, and appreciate The ancient style, the modern style, and the new style, in the excitement of the eight horses, form a spectacular, classic, enthusiastic, and warm picture...
It’s the weekend, go to Beishan Park to climb the slopes , boxing, reading, shouting about the mountains, breathing the fresh and intoxicating air, watching the wonders of the eastern sunrise, having heart-to-heart conversations with lovers, chatting with friends, digging some wild vegetables by the way, and carrying a bucket of mountain spring water.
Don’t be in a hurry if you are a sporty person. Go up the mountain from the brewery, along the landscape avenue, and ride a mountain bike. You can go as far as you want. If you can ride to Maiji Mountain, you will be considered a hero.
If it’s too far, go to Qiaonan Fitness Center, where you can swim and learn yoga, play ball and practice Muay Thai, martial arts, Little Red Spear, and Diabolo Overlord Whip. If you don’t want to learn, just watch it.
Qiaonan Building Materials City can take you around for several days. You don’t have to worry about the large amount of goods, but you only complain about your small wallet.
The market in Mapaoquan is more lively. Old objects and ornaments, basically everything that our ancestors had, are all here, ranging from the Taishi chair and the Eight Immortals table to the small Ququ jars and dough gongs. , charcoal brazier, dry tobacco pole, wine basket, wooden spoon and stone nest, there is nothing you can't imagine, but nothing you can't see.
Antique Street, pens, inks, paper and inkstones, calligraphy and painting, exotic stones and grasses, goldfish and grasshoppers, borrowed coins, antique pendants, haha, it’s the kind of things related to art. As long as you are interested, I’m afraid you can only It will make you dizzy, restless, and restless.

If you want to travel far, you don’t have to worry about it. You just have to cross a bridge to get to the train station. Except for Lhasa, the trains basically stop; the high-speed rail is under construction and it probably won’t take long. , booking a table on the North Road at noon, and dining in Lanzhou and Xi'an in the evening will not be a rumor; passenger transportation, going up to Tianjin, to Wenzhou; down to Guangzhou, to Kunming, it seems to be no problem; of course, it does not cost five yuan to get to the airport , Xi'an, Dalian, Chengdu, Tianjin, just talk.
If you want to drive, you can go to the expressway for Ganquan and the expressway for the street. Once you get on the expressway, you can drive by cattle.

This is the corner of the North Road.
My home is in Beidao.
Where I live, I can go downstairs to eat delicious food, and it’s only two steps to the lake. Ada can go there, and it’s not far from anywhere.

Last night, all the friends I met through Mr. Wang on Tianshui Online greeted me warmly and sent greetings from home, and waves of warmth filled my heart. Suddenly, I thought of my hometown and my family in Beidao.
There is no comfort left, just a few words, that’s all.
