宜昌开埠之后，二马路作为城市发展的前沿阵地，呈现出极为丰富多元的生活方式。休闲娱乐上，网球运动盛行，城内多处设网球馆。与此同时，清唱茶园众多，如西园、东园等，作为后来戏院的雏形，人们在此品茗听戏，也进而促进了宜昌京剧文化的繁荣与发展。在多元文化交融的浪潮下，旗袍也成为展现女性魅力与时代风尚的独特符号。这些元素相互交织，共同铸就了当时宜昌城市独特而多元的文化风貌。

Lifestyle On Second Avenue

After Yichang was opened as a port, Second Avenue , being at the forefront of the city’s development, showcased an extremely rich and diverse lifestyle. Regarding leisure and entertainment, tennis was highly popular, with tennis courts established in numerous locations within the city. Meanwhile, there were a great many tea – houses, like Xiyuan and Dongyuan. These served as the embryonic form of later – day theaters. People would come here to enjoy tea while listening to operas, thus promoting the prosperity and development of Yichang’s Peking Opera culture. In the context of the integration of multiple cultures, the cheongsam became a distinctive symbol representing women’s charm and the fashion of the era. These elements intertwined, jointly shaping the unique and diverse cultural outlook of Yichang at that time.
