Qibao Ancient Town

Charming ancient town with a wide variety of Chinese street food to enjoy. Conveniently located near the metro station with no entrance fee. Make sure to visit the temple, it's a must-see. Qibao is known for its cricket fighting, but unfortunately, we arrived too late to catch it :(

Very pretty and easy trip to make on the train! Was busy but still enjoyable! Would recommend :)

One of the ancient towns in Shanghai. Used to visit when I was living in Shanghai. Nice alleys filled with all kinds of knick knacks and interesting food from Stinky tofu to Balut type eggs. Today we ate a green glutinous rice cake only available in spring, filled with black sesame, red bean paste or pork floss with salted egg yolk. Delicious. Also ordered a UNESCO World Heritage food called Guan Dan. It’s basically egg yolk filled with a minced meat paste and then boiled. Served with soup that has coriander and seaweed. Yummy!

For seniors and first-time visitors to China, it may be a place to visit in Shanghai. You can stroll around the neighborhood and enjoy a lot of street food. However, the buildings here are actually rebuilt after the original ancient buildings were demolished, so if you want to explore real historical cultural monuments, this may not be your first choice. PS Avoid coming on public holidays

It is a cute place but very touristic !!!! A lot of shops , a lot of people !!

Absolutely mesmerising! A different part of the world! Youve got to be there during the day and at night- its a splendid area when its all lit up in lights. You get to see the history of china merging with modernity. You see chinese dressed in cultural attire. Food isnt the best- mostly traditional chinese.

I visited this old town every time I came to Shanghai. It has a unspeakable charm and stands a beacon of its unique character.

A yet to be discovered ancient town conveniently near Shanghai.
