In fact, the purpose of going to Shanghai to find food is not the food itself, but another Shanghai-style food taste that you can't eat anywhere else.

There are many food streets in Shanghai, among which Yunnan Road, Zhapu Road and huanghe road are famous. In recent years, many new fashion food streets have sprung up, such as Western Fashion Hongji Plaza and Xintiandi Restaurant Plaza. Yunnan road is a veteran food street, and now it mainly focuses on snacks; Zhapu Road and huanghe road have gradually emerged in the past 11 years, but Zhapu Road has almost withered, and food is no longer the protagonist. During the period when clothing and beauty shops are full, it is becoming less and less like it. Huanghe road is still full of restaurants, and a narrow alley is crowded with cars of different colors and grades. The bustling scene is extraordinary; Western fashion Hongji Square and Oriental Xintiandi are full of white-collar workers and petty bourgeoisie.

Yunnan Road: Yunnan Road is strategically located at the junction of Yan 'an Road and Tibet Road, close to the central area of People's Square. At night, there will be many nightingale stalls in the alley and downstairs, and spending a few dollars to eat a nightingale is the consumption mode of many citizens. There are also many big restaurants like Chang 'an jiaozi Tower, Jinling Restaurant, Sanhelou Restaurant and Laozhengxing Restaurant, and there is also the "Great World Food Street" of Xiao Shaoxing Group in Yunnan Middle Road. Xiaojingling salted duck, "Nanxiang" steamed buns and "Old Sichuan" hot pot are quite famous in Yunnan Road. The restaurants in Yunnan Road are mainly Chinese food, mostly Shanghai food, Sichuan food, and occasionally some Shandong food. Due to the different grades of restaurants in Yunnan Road, the prices are uneven. Fame determines the level of consumption to some extent in this street.

huanghe road: If you want to go to huanghe road Food Street, you have to turn on Nanjing Road. There are nearly 111 restaurants, large and small, which flourished in the mid-1991s. Most of them are Shanghai cuisine and seafood restaurants, and occasionally you can see words like boiled fish and kebabs. There is also a griddle base in huanghe road, which specializes in Guizhou cuisine. Since this spring, Guizhou cuisine has been quite popular in Shanghai, and the business of this restaurant is naturally good. Huanghe road mostly drinks at home, with per capita consumption ranging from 41 to 61 yuan. These home-cooked dishes, including Sichuan cuisine, Hunan cuisine and Guizhou cuisine, have been improved in taste and are very popular with local people in Shanghai. Like the six-story Laitianhua Restaurant, when business is good, it can also be full, not to mention those restaurants located on the first floor. In huanghe road, the roads are crowded and the shops are narrow. In order to maximize the use of space, many stores will divide restaurants with only one floor into two floors. Looking out of the window, the upper floor seems to float in the air. This is probably a major feature of Shanghai's alley cuisine.

western fashion hongji plaza: located near Xujiahui, surrounded by many high-end office buildings, it has formed a food and beverage street with tea restaurants, various noodle restaurants, cafes, barbecues, pizzas and many other leisure foods. The consumers here are mainly foreigners with blond hair and blue eyes, or white-collar workers in office buildings. The overall style is mainly leisure, and they play with real petty bourgeoisie. There are all kinds of curry noodles in Xinmatai, barbecue in Brazil, macaroni in Italy, sashimi in Japan and mutton in Xinjiang. Therefore, in terms of price, it is also quite expensive, and it costs a little to play fashion.

In addition to these famous food streets, there are mass consumption-oriented Wujiang Road and snack kingdom Old Town God Temple in Shanghai. In fact, when you really go to Shanghai, there are delicious foods everywhere. A gourmet who often goes to Shanghai on business said that the reason for going to Shanghai to find delicious foods is not the delicious food itself, but another Shanghai-style gourmet taste that you can't eat anywhere else.
