Description
Zongcheng Hu and Li Shao wrote this 2026 PLOS ONE research article about the Chinese Baroque Historic Area, a district famous for its blend of Chinese and Western building styles. The authors trace how the narratives of place identity have evolved, the stories told about what the district is and means.
Their method follows long-term textual practices, how writing about the area has presented it across many years. Place identity guides tourism, preservation, and residents' pride, and it is built partly through repeated texts. Heritage managers and city marketers are the readers for a history of how one district's story has been written.
