Songjiang Cangcheng, located in the area of ​​Zhongshan West Road, Songjiang District, Shanghai, is a place with a long history and rich cultural heritage. Its history can be traced back to the eighth year of Zhengde in the Ming Dynasty (1433), when Shuicang West Warehouse and Shuicang South Warehouse were built to reduce the burden on the people. Later, in order to prevent the Japanese invasion, the city wall of Xicang was built, so it was named "Cangcheng". During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Cangcheng served as an important node for grain storage and transportation, and carried important tax functions. There are about 128 ancient buildings from the Ming and Qing Dynasties and the Republic of China in the Cangcheng Historical and Cultural Area, including historical buildings such as the Yiyuan Garden, Du's Carved Building, Fei Hua's House, Baosu Hall, Du's Ancestral Hall and Zhao's House, as well as bridges across the Shihe River such as the Yunjian First Bridge, Xiuye ​​Bridge, Sanxiu Bridge and Dacang Bridge.
