What labels do you think of when you mention Guangzhou? "Small waist", morning tea or delicious food everywhere? For autobots, none of the above. Speaking of Guangzhou, I think of the annual Guangzhou Auto Show.
The 2020 Guangzhou Auto Show is in full swing, and a large number of fans flock to the exhibition hall to see the true colors of many new cars. From the north where the temperature is close to freezing point to Guangzhou, which is still hot in summer, I am not used to this contrast, so we decided to take a peak trip with many car enthusiasts. Goodbye! Exhibition hall! Hello! Guangzhou!
As an automobile industry person who has traveled all over the country, it is nothing new to come to Guangzhou, but at the same time, Guangzhou is a strange place for me. Therefore, I decided to spend a day getting to know the city better. The best way is to drive, go deep into the streets and feel the charm behind the high-rise buildings in the city.
Is this Guangzhou Automobile traveling with me today? Chuanqi GS4? COUPE, we will visit some unusual places in a limited day.
Our first stop came to Dabei Interchange in Guangzhou Inner Ring Road. Although there are many overpasses in Guangzhou, it is the most special one. This overpass was built in 1964, which is the first circular overpass in Guangzhou. As can be seen from the picture, this design was very advanced at that time.
With the passage of time, Dabei Interchange is not what it used to be. Now, there are many cars under the bridge. Tall buildings and parks have been built on both sides of the road. Dabei Interchange is the witness of all this prosperity.
In this first-tier city with 2.8 million cars, traffic jams are expected. However, the powertrain performance of this 1.5T engine +7-speed dual-clutch gearbox is surprising. Frequent start-stop and long-term low-speed crawling did not confuse their coordination. Skilled and natural gear shifting did not cause the vehicle to stumble. Coupled with the brisk steering system, this SUV model seems to be able to cope with urban road conditions.
Soon we came to the second stop today-Chenjiaci. Guangzhou's ancestral temple culture is famous all over the country, among which Chenjia Ancestral Temple, located at No.7 Zhongshan Road, is a model. It is the largest existing ancestral temple building in Lingnan, and is also known as the pearl of Lingnan architectural art.
At that time, the Chen family in Guangdong donated money to build this ancestral hall in order to provide temporary accommodation for Chen's children who went to the provincial capital to participate in the imperial examination, waiting for appointment, litigation and other affairs. The clans who participated in the donation could put their ancestors' rankings in the ancestral hall for future generations to worship.
The surrounding area of Chenjia Temple is very lively, and many people are waiting to enter in the square in front of the ancestral temple. For these tourists, this is definitely a place to punch in when coming to Guangzhou.
As our terminal is located in Panyu District, we need to cross the Pearl River, and then we will pass our third stop-the Pearl River Tunnel. 1993 65438+February 28th, this tunnel was completed and opened to traffic, with a total length of 1238.5m, which is the first tunnel in Guangzhou.
From then on, people on both sides of the Pearl River have a more convenient way to pass. As the saying goes, "In the past, crossing the river was like crossing the sea, but now crossing the sea is like crossing the river." For a city located on both sides of the river, nothing is more gratifying than the completion of a tunnel.
After the third stop, we arrived at the fourth stop a little later than planned because of the traffic congestion, but coincidentally, we happened to meet a bustling crowd of students when we arrived. Yes, our fourth stop is Guangzhou University Town.
Why did you choose here as the terminal of this trip? Personally, I have two main ideas: First, Chuanqi GS4? COUPE is a coupe SUV that focuses on the young consumer market, so how to judge whether the manufacturer's positioning of the model is accurate? Young people are the most suitable to solve this problem. Walking on the street of university town, many students turned their eyes to this fashionable and radical mode. From their eyes, I can see that the manufacturer's strategy is very successful and can really attract the attention of young people.
Secondly, college time may be one of the happiest stages in our lives. At that time, we were carefree and reckless. I believe we all miss that time. In addition, the mental outlook of college students in a city often represents the soft power and future of the city. Coming here, I can feel the charm behind this bustling city more truly.
For me, this may be the most extraordinary auto show experience. It seems that the fun brought by an unusual day trip is more intriguing than traveling in the exhibition hall in my favorite car!
