The name Shangxiahang comes from the collective name of two parallel streets, "Shanghang Street" and "Xiahang Street".
Shanghang Road and Xiahang Road in Taijiang District, Fuzhou City and their surrounding neighborhoods are commonly known as "Shuanghang". It refers to the two parallel streets from Xiaoqiaotou to Damiao Road, which were the commercial center and shipping terminal of Fuzhou in the early years.
The word "Hang" is actually derived from the sound of "hang". There is a historical process of geographical change here. In ancient times, the Minjiang River bypassed Damiao Mountain, and Shangxiahang was the Jinkou port for upstream and downstream sailing. This ancient neighborhood, once famous for its prosperous commerce, has always been an important place for folklore and history experts to study the development of Fuzhou's commerce.
In May 2014, it was recognized as one of the first 9 provincial-level historical and cultural blocks in Fujian Province. On November 5, 2021, Shangxiahang Street District in Fuzhou City was identified by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism as one of the first batch of national-level night-time culture and tourism consumption clusters.
