There are many unique food streets in Shanghai, such as Yellow River Road and Zhapu Road, Changli Road in Pudong, Tianyaoqiao Road behind Xujiahui Business Circle, Xianxia Road and so on. And if I want to recommend one from the many food streets, then I must first recommend Yunnan South Road, which brings together many old Shanghainese favorite food shops and is also the best place for foreign tourists to taste Shanghai cuisine.

Standing at the intersection of the food street, the renovated street surface is still full of the taste of old Shanghai.
As early as the 1990s, it was a well-known food street, and on a street of less than 400 meters in length, it brought together a number of shanghai's long-established gourmet shops, such as Dahuchun, Xiandelai, Xiao Shaoxing, Yanyunlou, Hong Changxing, Chengchang Yuanzi, Deda and so on.
