Xinchang Old Street South: The right way to explore Shanghai's ancient towns and old streets 2.0.

Transportation: See the previous article "Xinchang Old Street North." Tips: Most of the old houses are closed, but one is under renovation and open to visitors. Another house, now the "Rule of Law Culture Expo Park," is also open to visitors. There are also many great views along the Hou City River, so don't miss them. Fangnan has a restaurant called "Angci Fish and Rice," which seems to be an internet-famous restaurant. Some people are live streaming there. You can check out the local farmers' vegetable stalls. The vegetables are not expensive, and there are some good things, such as peach gum, dried, for only 20/nearby. To the south is the historical and cultural district, featuring old buildings from the Qing and Republic of China periods, such as the Zhang Residence, Pan North Residence, and Min Old Residence, with Nanshan Ancient Temple at the end. With Shisunli and South Street as the small and fresh literary streets, you can walk on the stone road (look closely, some of the stones are the tombstones of predecessors), and the brick and wood buildings on both sides will take you back to the old alleys and wooden houses of Shanghai's old South City, the setting of the classic Shanghai TV series "Poor Street." On South Street, there are coffee shops with parrots, bar-style noodle shops, ancient house-style coffee and tea rooms, and literary shops for relaxing and daydreaming... If it were more popular, it would be another Lijiang for literary youth. Xinchang Ancient Town beats Qibao, Zhujiajiao, and other old streets and ancient towns in Shanghai, whether in terms of historical and cultural imprints or Shanghai-flavored snacks. Walking through Xinchang Old Street is the only way to experience the original flavor of Shanghai's old streets. The whole Xinchang Street is very commercial, fresh, and full of local Shanghai flavor.
