The 825-meter long Old Street runs from Renmin Road to Henan Road. It is an important thoroughfare for visiting the Yuyuan commercial area. In old Shanghai, this is where the private banks, gold shops, jewelry stores, wine shops, tea houses, theatres, and other firms, usually called the center of all trades in Shanghai. Here, now, we can find some of the traditional trades like a coin store, old-fashioned tea houses, a shop selling mahogany decorative articles, a pawn shops, a wine shops and a private banks.
A walk down the Old Street under the blue sky, appreciating the old houses, trinket shops, and small vendors along the road, will remind you of the good old days when everything was quiet and slow. This trip is definitely a good choice if you want to run away from the hustle and bustle of modern life.
