Jinchao Bayanong - I wouldn't say it's the most Shanghai, but it's the most CITY place in Hongkou.

transportation: Metro Line 10, Sichuan North Road Station Exit 3. Tips: The adjacent large commercial building is still under renovation. Once it opens, it will be a perfect combination of modern and past. There are also some buildings near Chaobanong that are very representative of Shanghai from the 1930s and 1940s. Don’t miss them. Jinchao Eight Lanes is a new landmark built by Shanghai's Hongkou District. Although it is also a complex of Shikumen and Western-style houses in old Shanghai, it bears more of the imprint of old Hongkou. If Xintiandi is the beginning of Shanghai petty bourgeoisie and Zhangyuan is the representative of Shanghai Shikumen architecture, then Chaobanlong now exudes a strong "Shanghai style" atmosphere. The positioning of Chaoshan Lane 8 is now an "immersive cultural experience site". Wandering through the eight lanes, in addition to experiencing the traditional Shanghai Shikumen lane community, you can also see the rare and iconic overpasses of Shanghai lanes, not to mention the century-old "Yingchuan Jilu" and the three-row houses of the Shanghai Culture Center, formerly the "Royal Hotel", and the "Qinghong Garden" with traces of modern historical politicians. Of course, the "Haipai Culture Center" should be the soul of Chaobanlong today, which will be introduced in the next article. In Chaoyang Lane 8, there is no hustle and bustle of the city, but you can experience the tranquility of the old Shanghai alleys in the afternoon. It doesn’t have the luxury and brilliance of the new world, but it is a world that belongs only to you. Here you always have the feeling of walking in the shadow of old times. In a trance, it seems as if in a corner of Shikumen there is a slender figure wearing cheongsam, with willow eyebrows, bright eyes, and eyes full of endless tenderness.
