The old flavors of Shanghai~Shanghai City God Temple
The old flavors of Shanghai~Shanghai City God Temple⛩
🚶♂️"When in Shanghai, one must visit the Bund; and when at the Bund, one cannot miss the City God Temple."
✅The streets are lined with closely packed antique-style buildings, with their carved beams and painted rafters, the vermilion gates, the ancient brick lanes shining with a bluish hue, small bridges over flowing water, willows gently caressing, bustling with pedestrians, shoulder to shoulder, as if stepping into the scene of 'Along the River During the Qingming Festival'. The soft whispers of the Wu dialect singing, the classical charm of the cheongsam swaying, and the scent of rouge and powder filling the alleys will make you feel as if you have been here in a past life.
✅The snack street gathers a multitude of Shanghai's special snacks, such as Nanxiang's small steamed buns and crab roe soup buns, Lvbolang's three-shred eyebrow crisp, Songyuelou's vegetarian buns, as well as the sweet osmanthus sugar lotus roots and the street-filling aroma of deep-fried stinky tofu. Amidst the tradition, there is no lack of modern elements, such as fried squid, spicy crab, grilled skewers... and of course, there's also McDonald's Uncle and KFC Grandpa from across the ocean.
✅The inner halls of the City God Temple are majestic and exquisitely built, with an ancient charm and thriving incense. In front of the western mirrors in Yu Garden, the long-gowned shopkeeper speaks eloquently: Speaking of Sun Wukong fighting the White Bone Demon... it's the absolute old flavor of Shanghai! On the retro building of the Ten Miles Foreign Market, accompanied by the theme song of 'The Bund', a lady in an elegant cheongsam holds a fragrant fan, leaning against the vermilion railing, her every frown, smile, bow, and glance exuding intoxicating charm. On both sides of the Folk Custom Street, live performances such as sketching, paper-cutting, fabric collage, can cutting and splicing, and hollowed-out inner carving are dazzling, with the most eye-catching being the dough figurines, which look just like photographs; with a few pieces of dough, a custom-made figurine appears in just a moment.
✅The City God Temple tourist area also houses several small commodity wholesale markets and large comprehensive shopping malls, as well as many jewelry and jade stores like Lao Feng Xiang and Lao Miao Gold, with Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street also within close reach. A wide array of local specialties and modern products are on display, naturally inflating your desire to consume, and your wallet will also rapidly deflate. Such a tourism and commercial planning layout fully reflects the grand strategic vision of the people of Shanghai

Yuyuan Garden is an extensive Chinese garden located beside the City God Temple in the northeast of the Old City of Shanghai at Huangpu District, Shanghai. It abuts the Yuyuan Tourist Mart, the Huxinting Teahouse and the Yu Garden Bazaar.#shanghaichina #gardens
wondering the old city of Shanghai? this place is a must on your list. a walk through history, where you can wonder and imagine the past of shanghai.
This is a free area to visit and walk around, outside the entrance to Yu Garden. It feels like the most authentic Chinese place you can see in Shanghai, and is especially beautiful each year near Chinese New Year for Lantern festival, when the place becomes filled with lanterns
touristy area but really beautiful with the mix of modern and traditional buildings and views. lots of food around and decorations.
