Qibao Old Street

Located in Minhang District, the old streets feature an abundance of new wine shops, restaurants, snack stalls and century-old stores. Take a chance to appreciate its trademark wooden doors, black-tiled houses, red lanterns and arched bridges.

Yunnan Road S.

Famous for serving up all kinds of all Chinese cuisine, it is most popular for its xiaoshaoxing baizhan ji (chopped cold boiled chicken), xiaojinling xianshui ya (salted duck) and wufangzai rouzong (glutinous rice wrapped with bamboo leaves).

Wujiang Food Street

Tucked behind Nanjing Road W, this market is much cleaner than before, while its cheap food remains as delicious as ever. Xiaoyang Shengjian (Xiaoyang's pan fried dumpling) is still one of the top draws, attracting hundreds of customers every day.
