【Stories of Streets and Alleys in Lanzhou】Arrow Lane

 

这里叫箭道巷,南北不到1000米的巷子,却有着多元的文化历史。箭道巷因清朝时期是满族官员演习射箭的靶场而得名。

This place is called "Arrow Lane", a lane less than 1000 meters from north to south, yet it boasts a diverse culture and history. Arrow Lane got its name because it was a practice archery range for Manchu officials during the Qing Dynasty.

箭道巷内还有一座藏传佛教寺院—文殊院。该庙宇建于明代,历史悠久,建筑风格独特。

There's also a Tibetan Buddhist monastery—Manjushri Temple. The temple was established in the Ming Dynasty and has a long history with a unique architectural style.

20世纪90年代箭道巷拓建。了解过小巷的历史后,穿梭在小巷,仿佛仍然能够听到马蹄嘚嘚儿和羽箭嗖嗖的声音。

In the 1990s, arrow Lane underwent expansion. After learning about the history of this alleyway, walking through it feels like you can still hear the clip-clop of horse hooves and the whoosh of arrows.
