The Most Chinese Place in Shanghai

"Yuyuan" is often referred to as the most Chinese place in Shanghai. The entire Yuyuan scenic area includes Yuyuan Garden, Nine-Bend Bridge, the Old City God Temple, Fangbang Middle Road Old Street, and more. This destination is highly representative of Shanghai, and anyone who has visited the city has likely been here. From Exit 1 of Yuyuan Station on Metro Line 10, a short walk will take you to "Yuyuan Bazaar." The first thing you'll see is the Shanghai Old Restaurant at the corner. Inside Yuyuan, there are many small alleys filled with shops, including souvenir stores and eateries offering items like Snow Cream and Oriental Pearl-shaped fridge magnets 💖. When visiting here, you must try Nanxiang Steamed Bun Restaurant. Their takeaway menu features only two items: Crab Roe Soup Dumplings (25 RMB each) and Fresh Pork Steamed Dumplings (20 RMB for 12 pieces). These prices are significantly cheaper than dining in, making it a great option for budget-conscious travelers. The Crab Roe Soup Dumplings are a must-try for tourists! With their thin skin and rich, flavorful soup, they come highly recommended! 📍Address: No. 279, Yuyuan Old Street, Huangpu District, Shanghai 🕰️Business Hours: 10:00 AM – 10:00 PM Nearest Metro Station: Yuyuan Station, Line 10 💞Recommended for: 💖💖💖
