To Porto Alegre, Brazil sightseeing tours from the city center is only three blocks away from Rua Gonçalo de Carvalho Rosewood Avenue is absolutely not to be missed is a spectacular view, though, but the street one, but here, but billed as the world's most beautiful Green Street oh !
Rua Goncalo de Carvalho is lined with Tipuana trees (Rosa sylvestris) on both sides of the street, which was said to have been planted in the 1930s. After several decades have passed, the original seedlings have grown into lush trees and shoulder the heavy responsibility of sheltering the surrounding residents from the sky. It is more like a green forest that rises in the middle of the city. Make the noisy city come alive and get a little peace.
Although this era is very rare, but compared with the blossoming scenes of these countries and the movie scenes that are generally beautiful and fantastic, this is a little inferior. What on earth does it stand out from? The reason why Rua Goncalo de Carvalho is so famous is not only because of the visual beauty brought by tree-lined trees, but more importantly the symbolism behind it.
In 2005, the local government planned to build shopping malls on the street, but the price was to remove the rosewood that blocked the road. As a result, the plan roused public anger, and all the citizens resolutely opposed it. After many efforts, they finally succeeded in forcing the local government to give up. This idea, and successfully convinced the mayor of José Fogaça to list Rua Gonçalo de Carvalho as a protected cultural and environmental heritage.
The government’s compromises, commercial concessions, and the cherish of the people make this green road even more valuable. At the same time, it represents one of the few successful examples of environmental protests. It is a survivor of urban development. If you have the opportunity, please be sure to experience the beauty of life that it brings.
