Sanlin Town, Pudong, is said to have a history of nearly a thousand years. CCTV's popular "A Bite of China 2" has many scenes taken here. The Shanghai local dishes recommended in the film are fresh and affordable, attracting tourists from all over the world to come here to try them, and they became popular almost overnight.

Sanlin Old Street is built on Sanlinpu. It is said to be an old street, but in fact most of it has been rebuilt and renovated. Sanlinpu passes through the town, and on Nan'an Street there are only Shanglin Art Museum, a newly opened tea house and a few restaurants. The entire old street is on the north bank, running east-west. Most of the houses are two-story brick and wood structures with white walls and black tiles. The eaves are shoulder to shoulder and lined up along the river. On a street, there are many shops, mixed with deep houses, courtyards, pavilions and stages. Three or four simple and beautiful stone bridges span Samrimpo, leaving clear reflections on the water.
