This is a short small road, but it is very historical. The essence of the Shanghai French Concession, the life under the banyan tree, makes people feel very comfortable. Many houses on both sides are excellent historical buildings, and each has a story.

There are still many restaurants on Shaoxing Road, delicious.

I think I've been to many characteristic streets in Shanghai, but Shaoxing Road still gives me a slightly different feeling. Quiet to the utmost. There is also a bookstore that I like here. It's a worthwhile trip.
