This city of Shanghai fascinates me the most,
especially its streets and alleys.
Every street has a different flavor,
so let’s go out to the streets,
where there is real life.
If you ask me which street in Shanghai is the best for food?
I will definitely tell you: Ju Fu Chang.
Ju Fu Chang
refers to the area formed by Ju Lu Road, Fu Min Road, and Chang Le Road,
which can be regarded as the most beautiful, interesting, and rich area in Shanghai.
