Like most ancient towns in Jiangnan, the style of small bridges and flowing water people, the scenery during the day is more general, the night view is still good, as for the things sold inside, there are not many characteristics, the unified version of China

Qibao Old Street, near Xingzhong Road subway station, can be reached on foot, similar to the general ancient town, dumplings are special, very large, meaty, sweet, you can walk

Qibao Old Street has been formed since the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, with a regular shape and a square symmetrical square, and a chessboard. Among them, Yuhuitang and North and South Streets intersect vertically, the street is divided into north and south, and the alleys are stringed with things. The whole is "non" shape. South Street is mainly specialty snacks, and North Street is mainly tourist crafts, antiques, calligraphy and painting. There are still many monuments in the old street, and its houses, shops and bridges still maintain a typical Ming and Qing architectural style. There are 9 major tourist attractions in the "Cotton Weavingfang", "Old Traveling Dang", "Seven Treasures Old Wine Shop", "Seven Treasures Caotang", "Seven Treasures Shadow Pictures", "Seven Treasures Calligraphy Hall", "Zhang Chongren Memorial Hall", "Hui Diao Hall"

The area of this old street is not large, but the popularity is also very strong, there are many people during the day and night. Of course, the old street is very interesting, so it makes people feel good, the atmosphere is very good, and there are food and play.

I can't count how many old streets in the ancient town, and Qibao Old Street in Shanghai is really the first time! How much is with a little Xixuan, the legendary Qibao mutton and soup! You can actually park on the roadside at the entrance of the old street on the weekend. The iron horse has become a display. No one is queuing up. Most shops in the cold and deserted old street are closed! Sansheng III is so sad, I can't bear to see the rush to leave... [View] [Fun] [Cost-effective]

In a travelogue about Qibao Old Street, I saw such a statement: "Ten years Shanghai to see Pudong, 100 years Shanghai to see the Bund, thousands of years Shanghai to see Qibao." It feels very curious, there is no long history and enough cultural heritage to bear such a statement! According to the examination of the history of the seven treasures for thousands of years, the cultural heritage is deep, and the "seven treasures" are circulating in the folk, saying: flying Buddha, qilai Zhong, golden lotus scripture, god tree, golden chicken, jade axe, jade. Qibao Town is named for having seven kinds of treasures. Qibao Old Street is located in Qibao Ancient Town, Minhang District, Shanghai. We take Metro Line 2 to Line 9 and get off at Qibao Station. Qibao Old Street is divided into two streets in the north and south. South Street is mainly based on specialty snacks, and North Street is mainly based on tourist crafts, antiques, calligraphy and painting. Despite the drizzle, the tourists were all in high spirits.

Seven treasures folk spread the word "seven treasures", the saying: flying Buddha, the clock, the golden lotus scripture, the tree, the golden chicken, the jade axe, the jade. There is also a legend that said that seven treasures originally had eight treasures, because one was stolen, so called seven treasures, this legend has no way to prove. It is also said that Lu Baoyan came from, and it is said that there are documents supporting it.
