Shanghanghang Hang gets its name from the general name of two parallel streets, Shanghang Street and Xiahang Street.

Shanghanghang Road and Xiahang Road and their neighboring neighborhoods in the Taijiang District of Fuzhou City are commonly known as "Shuanghang". It refers to the two parallel cross-streets between Xiaoqiaotou and Damiao Road, which were the commercial center and shipping terminal of Fuzhou in the early years.

The word "Hang" is actually a derivation of the sound "Hang", and there is a historical process of geographical change here. In ancient times, when the water of Minjiang River bypassed Damiao Mountain, Shangshang Hang was the port of Jinkou for up and down navigation. This ancient neighborhood, once famous for its commercial prosperity, has long been an important place for experts in folklore and history to study the course of Fuzhou's commercial development.
