The street was widened by 15.5 meters, with brick sidewalks on both sides, trees were planted, and power lines were installed.

Today, there are 142 elegant houses remaining from that time, most of which were built a century ago.At that time, Yenping Historical Street served as the town center, a bustling street filled with various traditional shops.
