Many of Hongkou's most popular check-in spots are over 100 years old, and although the years have changed, these attractions and landmarks still exude vitality. Today, let's take you to experience the charm of these attractions in person.
Sweet Love Road
With a total length of just over 500 meters, Tianai Road is very popular because of its unique name. In fact, Tianai Road has a history of more than 100 years. Originally, it was a small alley called "Qianaili", and later it was renamed "Tianai Road", a unique name that made it a slightly ceremonial road.
There are 64 roads in Shanghai that never widen, and Tianai Road is one of them. The towering metasequoia trees on both sides of the road, and the vows about love are written on the walls, without too much commercial atmosphere. It's such a road, and many people come here every day.
Many couples come here to check in. Jacky and Zhizhi, tourists from Taiwan, China, learned about the history and unique atmosphere of Tianai Road on the Internet, and specially included this road in their list of must-see attractions on their trip to Shanghai. "This time, we took 5 days of annual leave to travel to Shanghai, and learned that Tianai Road is a road that witnesses love, so I want to take the baby in my belly here to check in and take pictures, and witness the sweet time of my parents."
Sweet Love Road Wedding Center
When you come to Tianai Road, don't miss the Tianai Road Wedding Center located at No. 50 Tianai Branch Road. You don't have to get a license to go in. This marriage center only handles marriages and does not handle divorces, and the paintings related to love on the wall are the best blessings for the newlyweds.
The wedding center also offers a stamping service, with 3 commemorative stamps that can be stamped on your favorite postcard and given to the person you want to send.
Lu Xun Park
Walking out of the back door of the Tianai Road Wedding Center, you will arrive at Lu Xun Park. This century-old park is not only a tourist attraction, but also a space for citizens to move. In summer, the historic lotus pond is in full bloom.
The flowing lake and the tranquil old bridge are all witnesses of history. Lu Xun Park, which has a history of more than 100 years, will be demolished in 2022, and it will be like an oasis in the city, integrating with the city.
