Historical Changes of Longchang Town

Changes of Longchang residents: From Jiaqing period of Qing Dynasty to 200 years before 1990s, the development of Longchang changed little. People call Longchang Resident Longchang Street, with a population of only over 300 households. There are few streets, with the dam as the center, the dog market in the east, the old vegetable garden in the south, Tianba Street where the front street meets the back street in the west, and the green bar forest and bamboo fort at the foot of Penang slope in the north. Most of the residents' houses are low-rise tile houses or thatched houses, and the streets are dusty gravel roads or dirt roads. After entering the 1990s, with the implementation of the national policy of speeding up the construction of small towns, the government invested a lot of money to divert the Zhenka highway that originally passed through the town to Nantianchou, forming a new street, which the people called "New Road". In 2002, after the high-grade Guanxing Highway was opened to traffic, Longchang Town had a convenient and efficient external passage, and the local coal resources were continuously exported to other places, which also brought many benefits to local residents and laid a good economic foundation for the construction and development of Longchang. In recent years, the construction of small towns in Longchang has developed rapidly. With the migration of nearby immigrants and immigrants from Longtan Power Station reservoir area, a new commercial area has been built at the foot of Miaoshanpo, and a new immigrant area with a length of more than 500 meters has been built in the field from Jiaochangba to the entrance of Gong's ancestral hall. Today, Longchang Street has been integrated with the surrounding villages such as new vegetable garden, city park, launching bridge and Sheung Shui bridge, and it has long been full of streets, shops, high-rise mansions and prosperous everywhere.
