Historical and Cultural Districts

Due to the eight-year Anti-Japanese War, the Wenxi Fire and three years of civil war, almost all the ancient buildings and cultural relics in Changsha City were lost. Since the reform and opening up in 1978, urban construction has developed rapidly, but the protection of historical blocks has not been fully considered. Currently, there are no complete historical and cultural blocks, and there are only four complete mashi streets. In recent years, attention has been paid to the rescue of the ancient city, and five "historic and cultural blocks" have been established for protective rescue. These blocks are Taiping Street, Chaozong Street, Hualongchi, Xiaoximen, and Tianxinge historical and cultural blocks.
