French exotic customs
法国异域风情
Walking in the city center of Zhanjiang you will be surprised to find some French-style buildings giving you the feeling that you're walking in the streets of Paris. The city was ceded to France as a leased territory in the late Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) and was known as Guangzhou Bay back then.
走在湛江市中心，你会惊讶地发现一些法国风格的建筑，给你一种走在巴黎街头的感觉。晚清（1644-1911）时，这座城市被割让给法国作为租界，当时被称为广州湾。
It was from this Guangzhou Bay period that the city began to take shape and included sites like the French Minister Department Cathedral of St. Victor French Police Headquarters and Credit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank. Walking along the French Style Street in Xiashan district and studying the remains of these buildings are the best way to learn about that period of history.
正是从广州湾时期开始，这座城市开始形成，包括法国部长部、圣维克托大教堂、法国警察总部以及法国农业信贷公司和投资银行。走在霞山区的法式街上，研究这些建筑的遗迹，是了解那段历史的最好方式。
