【正确答案】 Suzhou Street, originally called Merchants Street, was built in the style of South China towns during Emperor Qianlong's reign. It was a street where emperors and empresses could pretend to go shopping as ordinary people and it was burned to the ground by the Anglo-French Allied Forces in 1860 and restored in 1990. The 300-meter street is built over water with shops and stands on the bank. More than 60 businesses, including teahouses, restaurants, pharmacies, banks, hat stores, jewelry stores and grocery stores, operate on the bank, which is a concentrated illustration of the commercial culture in South China towns in the 18th century.
