A stretch of Seymour Road, a half chapter of modern history

The one-kilometer section of Shaanxi North Road from Julu Road to Xinzha Road is one of the three 'Chinese Historical and Cultural Streets' designated by the National Ministry of Culture. Formerly known as Seymour Road, it was built in 1914 and is a century-old street. It is also one of the '64 roads that will never be widened' in Shanghai. The road is narrow, so narrow that even on the sidewalk, two people meeting must turn sideways to pass each other. The dense plane trees cast deep shadows, walking under them is like entering the gates of a castle. On both sides of the street, lanes, alleys, and large courtyards with deep-set houses and Western-style apartments are mostly over a hundred years old. Along the road, there are more than 20 former residences of celebrities, outstanding historical buildings, and cultural heritage sites, including the old homes of four major families from across the strait and three regions, and traces of well-preserved Jewish culture. A stretch of Seymour Road, a half chapter of modern history.
