The 794-meter-long Jiashan Road is a street carrying a strong historical heritage and modern urban atmosphere. This old street of Shanghai, which blends the culture and modern trend of Shanghai, is home to many food outlets, celebrity residences and art spaces. Today, let's walk into Jiashan Road and Citywalk to feel the charm of this old street.
Located on Jiashan Road, Shang Street loft Fashion District is a vibrant mid-sized SOHO cultural and creative industrial park. A small Hong Kong-style retro building was built at the entrance of the park, and when you came to the building, you seemed to travel back in time to the 90s. Personalized trendy brands such as highway stores, Chongqing special hot pot Nan hot pot, etc., will light up neon signs at night. The park is also home to international catering brands such as Wagas and Big Sur Coffee, injecting fresh vitality into the entire industrial park and realizing the ideal combination of commercial, office and surrounding residences.
Walk out of the industrial park and enter the old city of Jiashan and pass this traditional lane in Shanghai to reach South Shaanxi Road. This was originally an old factory building, but it was converted into a foreign market. Nowadays, there are both exotic Western food bars, such as Ombra Terrace Garden Western Restaurant, where Internet celebrities check in, as well as local restaurants for residents to gather and talk about home. The steaming bun shop is steaming hot, creating a social circle for residents and tourists.
I have to mention the neighborhood canteen here - "house canteen", the environment is elegant and pleasant, and the façade is very designed. It is reported that the elderly living nearby are willing to come to eat here, and at the same time, the recipes and prices of the canteen have also attracted some young people to enjoy light meals.
Coming to Xinxing Shunli, the revolutionary former residence hidden in the streets of this city is a major attraction. No. 24, Lane 117, is the former residence of martyr Qian Zhuangfei, one of the "Three Masters of Longtan", a brick and wood Shikumen house that witnessed the thrilling story of his death to deliver intelligence during the turbulent war years, and was selected as the first batch of revolutionary cultural relics in Shanghai on March 11, 2021. In addition, there is the former site of the New Fourth Army office in Shanghai located in Lane 140, which received and placed many important cadres and materials in the southern Anhui incident. Behind the doors of the old-fashioned Shikumen buildings, there are hidden pieces of old Shanghai history.
On Jiashan Road, you can feel the strong smoke of the old Shanghai lane. The streets are full of shops, such as small pottery noodle shops, wonton pot sticker porridge, and seasonal vegetable and fruit shops. An uncle repairing mechanical lights on the street, young people gathering in front of shops leisurely playing poker, these are the temperature of Shanghai's city, the breath of life.
Jiashan Road is a historical stage and a living picture. The development of the city can be seen in the ruins, and the infinite possibilities after planning renewal can be seen in the buildings. So, why not take time to take a trip to Jiashan Road in person and appreciate the beauty and style here!
