Experience the historical charm of Jiangmen Taishan: the wonderful encounter between the filming location of 'Speed' and the cultural old street

A director with a unique vision, not only excels in the selection of actors, but even the choice of filming locations is extremely special. They chose Jiangmen Taishan in Guangdong as the filming location. Walking in the old arcade buildings of Taishan's historical and cultural district, it seems to return to the old times, and you can understand why the 'Speed' crew would choose these cities full of strong age feelings. They are full of the blend of Eastern and Western cultures and have a retro charm. Guangdong's unique architectural feature - the old arcade building is the iconic building here, living upstairs and doing business downstairs. The carvings of each building are different because Taishan is a famous hometown of overseas Chinese. Since 1900, Taishan people have set off from here to wander around the world. When they return home, they also bring back the architectural styles from all over the world, blending Baroque and Roman styles with Nanyang style to form the old arcade buildings. Therefore, each building has European characteristics and also has the style of Nanyang. The most recognizable stills of the 'Speed' crew are mainly scattered in Jiangmen and Taishan. The old street of Xuding in Jiangmen is the main shooting location, while the shooting locations in Taishan are relatively scattered and it takes more than an hour to drive. The part of Jiangmen Xuding Old Street, the old arcade building full of ancient atmosphere is really charming. Taishan is close to the sea, and you can see Gao Qiqiang's fish stalls and many small shops selling dried goods and seafood everywhere. Motorcycles travel between the arcades, which is the leisurely lifestyle of Taishan people. The efficiency of the tourism bureau of Jiangmen Thirty-three Xuding Street is really fast, and a guide map has been produced. You can visit this century-old block according to the punch points of the 'Speed' stills. There are clear signs on the walls of the punch points, just follow the crowd. There are also some suggestions: The sugarcane juice for 5 yuan a bottle is really delicious! It is not recommended to drive in directly, because many sections are one-way streets (and you have to take pictures), there are many cars and people, and it is difficult to find parking spaces on the street during the day. If you have time, don't miss other historical buildings and residential streets. They are all very distinctive, and there are few tourists, and the photos taken are very stylish.
