China Trip – Shanghai: Laojie (Old Street) 上海老街 (Day 4) -After touring Yu Yuan Garden, we went to explored further around the area surrounding Yu Yuan, only then we found out that the famous Shanghai Old Street (Shanghai Laojie) is located right next to Yu Yuan. It’s another attraction that is located in the travel guide. To be exact, Yu Yuan is actually part of Shanghai Old Street.

At there you will find lots of retail outlet, as well as building built during the Qing Dynasty, and also street food! There’s a street at Shanghai Laojie which sells various type of Shanghai Street Food like stinly toufu, fried chicken finger, fruits, crab, chicken, noodle, BBQ and more!

The food does in fact look good, but then hygiene wise, not really good. Though, brother and I did try out some food at there. We prefer eating out at a restaurant.

After eating, we walked to the Yu Yuan Shanghai Metro station, and headed to Pudong area next.
