Shanghai City God Temple Tourist Area

With a history of over 600 years, the Taoist shrine serves as a popular blessing site enshrining city-protecting deities. The pedestrian block is lined with classic ancient Chinese architecture, red lanterns and the iconic Nine-Turn Bridge over the pond. It gathers numerous time-honored snack shops, local specialty stores and folk handicraft stalls, fully embodying the prosperous traditional commerce and profound Jiangnan cultural charm of old Shanghai. The lantern-lit night scenery is its most famous highlight, making it a top spot to experience Shanghai’s traditional downtown culture.
