Built at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, the century-old cultural relic-No. 1 Shamian Street, which was once a French patrol house, has been enclosed and decorated recently. Tourists familiar with the matter complain that the century-old cultural relic building has been renovated three times in the past six years, thus harming the cultural relics themselves.

"recently, we have seen construction again, and we have done it several times before. This is a national key cultural relic. Can it withstand such troubles?". Ms. Wu, a citizen, reflected yesterday that during a recent visit to Shamian Island, she found that "Shamian No. 1" near Shamian East Bridge was under construction again. Not only new signboards were changed on the outside, but also great changes were made inside. Floor tiles and walls were all shoveled off and started all over again.

Ms. Wu once lived in Shamian and has a strong affection for Shamian's old buildings. in her memory, the cultural relic building No. 1 Shamian Street was vacant for many years and was reopened in 2008. She opened several restaurants successively, but all of them did not last long. She was soon knocked down and started all over again, as if she were going to turn it into a cafe recently. Ms. Wu quietly went inside and took a look and found that the interior walls, walls and even the structure had changed.

Nandu reporter visited yesterday, facing Shamian East Bridge, Shamian Street No. 1 is undergoing internal decoration, construction staff revealed that construction has started nearly a month, is expected to be completed and opened next month. Cafe signs are set up around the violin sculpture at the door. The glass walls of the previously controversial corridor have not been removed, while the ceiling, floors and walls of the building have almost been renovated.

In the north corner of the cultural relic building, a bluish gray nameplate stands out. No. 1 Shamian Street is a class B cultural relic in the national key cultural relics protection units. it was built at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China. It has a history of about 100 years and has been used as a patrol house for the French army. Since 2008, the cultural relic building has been used as an Italian restaurant, an European restaurant and so on, and now it is going to become a coffee shop.
