Jinli Street, Chengdu, China

在成都这个最大的旅游热门景点,清朝式木屋和商店,挂着大红灯笼和传统标牌,看上去很有历史年代感,令人愉悦。

虽然锦里古街2004年才翻修成现貌,但其历史可追溯到大约1800年前,是四川省最古老的购物街。
Convent Avenue, Harlem, New York City
美国纽约市哈勒姆区康文特大街
New York City is blessed with some of the most architecturally arresting streets in the world. But Harlem's Convent Avenue stands out from the pack, thanks to its knockout buildings and tree-lined sidewalks.
纽约市得天独厚,拥有世界上建筑风格最引人注目的街道。但是,哈勒姆的康文特大街却因其迷人的建筑和绿树成荫的人行道脱颖而出。
knockout [ˈnɒkaʊt]:adj.迷人的
The stretch between West 140th and 145th streets is the most impressive, including the Convent Avenue Baptist Church and 339 Convent Avenue, a.k.a., The Royal Tenenbaums' house.

Famed for its eight hairpins, Lombard Street is one of San Francisco's busiest attractions.

And while the crowds lining up to take shots for Instagram can get a bit much, they shouldn't put you off going.
虽然排着长队等候拍照上传到社交网站的人群可能太拥挤了,但是一定不要停下脚步。
Said to be the most crooked street in the world, the views from the top are worth the trip alone, while the surrounding buildings of Russian Hill are added eye candy.

卡米尼托,意思是“小径”。它位于布宜诺斯艾利斯市最色彩斑斓的城区,同时也是最色彩斑斓的街道。
The street fell into disrepair in the 1950s after the railroad which ran through the area closed (the tracks are still here), before local artist Benito Quinquela Martín set about regenerating the area.
20世纪50年代,贯穿城区的铁路关闭后(铁轨今犹在),卡米尼托大街一度破败失修,之后当地艺术家贝尼托·金克拉·马丁开始重振这个城区。

Alongside the canal that runs between Ginkaku-Ji and Nanzen-Ji, the Philosopher's Walk is Japan's most picturesque street, thanks to the cherry trees which crowd both banks.

The steep, curving street was developed in the 1850s, cutting through medieval neighborhoods with the aim of offering easier access to the new train station. Until then, travelers had to use the steep steps and dark alleyways down from the Royal Mile to catch their trains.
陡峭蜿蜒的街道建于19世纪50年代,穿过中世纪街区,目的是开辟一条通往新火车站的捷径。在此之前,游客不得不沿着陡峭的台阶和黑暗的巷子走过皇家一英里街道赶火车。

“天空之伞”项目成了这座城市每年7月至9月举行的一年一度的阿吉塔格达艺术节的必不可少的一部分。

Square de Montsoris, Paris, France
