Overview

Experience Introduction Why are wet markets so lively? Because most Shanghai residents visit them daily to buy the freshest ingredients. In Western countries, many people only go to the supermarket once a week. Why does every wet market have a cooked food store? Because many people have a fast-paced work life and don't have time to cook, so buying cooked food saves cooking time. The small wet market is a microcosm of Shanghai life, and food, as a "universal language," brings people closer together. Neighborhood History Jin Xian Road was officially built in 1926 and named Avenue Pougin de la Maisonneuve after a British shipbuilding expert living in Shanghai. It was renamed Jin Xian Road in 1943. The section of Jin Xian Road east of Mao Ming South Road has now disappeared, with Mao Ming South Road becoming the new starting point. The total length of the road has also been shortened to 295 meters. The alleyways on Jin Xian Road contain both Shikumen buildings and low-rise bungalows. The winding alleyways are full of the rich everyday life atmosphere of old Shanghai. Experience Process I will take everyone to visit a local wet market in the city center, which has been open for decades. Although it looks new after renovation, the vendors selling vegetables have been stationed here for decades. After buying vegetables, everyone will come with me to my home on Jin Xian Road, the filming location of [Blossoms Shanghai], to cook dumplings/soup dumplings together and have a meal, experiencing a typical Shanghai daily meal.
