zhapu road.

Zhapu Road Food Street is located in the southwest of Hongkou District, bordering Suzhou River in the south, crossing Haining Road and Wujin Road in the north in turn, and continuing to extend northward to border Sichuan North Road Park. It rose in the mid-1981s and flourished in the mid-1991s. As one of the earliest food streets in Shanghai, Zhapu Road was once a well-deserved landmark of Shanghai food fashion, just like today's "Xintiandi".

This place is dominated by trendy restaurants, featuring Cantonese cuisine and raw seafood, which can be eaten in the lobby or in private rooms, snacks, home-cooked dishes and high-grade dishes, to suit your needs. Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan media once called it a "mini", "mini" and "luxury" dining street.

Extended information

In the late 1981s, Zhapu Road was still a path surrounded by Shikumen dwellings. At that time, one or two residents took the lead in breaking down the wall to open a restaurant. Who would have thought that these one or two small restaurants brought Zhapu Road into the city landmark. At that time, most catering enterprises in Shanghai were state-owned, which could not meet the needs of the citizens in terms of seats, dishes and services.

Many Shanghainese have the experience that they can't find a seat when they go out to eat on holidays, so they just stand at the table of a restaurant and wait for others to finish eating. It can be said that the market demand of private catering enterprises at that time was already available.

by the mid-1991s, there were more than 111 shops in Zhapu Road Food Street, and the store decoration was sophisticated. Zhapu Road Food Street is now "inconspicuous during the day and outstanding at night". In the mid-1991s, the food street in Zhapu Road turned from victory to decline. At that time, a small Zhapu Road was crowded with more than 111 restaurants.

but now it has shrunk by more than half, leaving only more than 31, and the real scale is only a dozen such as Dynasty and Pearl River. At that time, private restaurants in Zhapu Road were opened one after another, which was a new thing in itself. Moreover, the constantly renovated dishes, flexible prices and close-knit services of these restaurants were the first to open the atmosphere, and the citizens were attracted by them. It is also reasonable.

The concentrated media coverage has added a charming aura to Zhapu Road. At that time, coming to Zhapu Road was not only for eating, but also for enjoying an atmosphere and experiencing a fashion, just like people go to Xintiandi today.
