Shanghai: Ancient alley dusk the deepest

As a typicalShanghaiMan, I never had"The Oriental Pearl", also not visited Town God's Temple. In fact, many signs of the scenic spots in Shanghai, I rarely. For me, in Shanghai, fashion and even slightly overbearing dressed "metropolis" behind the faces, and a secret warmth of. That's what really attracted me.

����Shanghai's most prominent resume

Since the summer of 2007, there is free, I will come and go in the urban area of Shanghai the depths of some seemingly "decline" street, alley, as well as all the old buildings can enter.

Shanghai city layout is a bit complicated. In 1843 the "city", Shanghai is a water city, inside and outside the channel aspect, later because of city development, began to fill river road, this period of history, from the Zhaojiabang Road, Fang Bang Lu, Xue Jia Bang Road, Damuqiao Road, Fenglin Road and so on these spread so far road name, how many can be seen. Outsiders can easily get lost in Shanghai -- to Shanghai city many street is not straight, but mostly follow the river path, winding, extends to the depths of the city, China Unicom and narrow alley, as is full of vitality of the capillary, densely covered with the whole city. Want to in this "net" to distinguish the four corners of the world is not so easy.

Walking in the street, glorious scenery always unexpectedly encounter in old Shanghai. Once, I was wandering around an unknown Dongjiadu Street -- Luxi street, found a flyover was inlaid with exquisite Baroque carved decoration, using twentieth Century twenty or thirty Shanghai's popular Shanghai Plaster material, commonly known as "water brush stone" -- Western architecture in the stone building, building facades also use all kinds of stone carvings as a decoration; Shanghai around Mt. less stone, process and external decoration and the facade treatment for many buildings adopt this Shanghai "specialty". The rough texture of exposed aggregate have the appearance of stone, cement, Hososhi Ko made a hybrid is, but also can be used for die casting all kinds of wonderful sculptures and reliefs pattern, thick see almost and stone carving is made more simple, quick, therefore is widespread in Shanghai and the city of Zhou Biancheng. This building Luxi street, flyover coupons door style with a Chinese family, writing above "Di Lu" two characters with neat script, was signed in Gui Hai years (1923) -- at the time, in Shanghai the oriental metropolis's heyday, paramount night always a lead a voluptuous life, cheongsam lady wore elegant sleek hair swing through, "Shanghai" became the style, elegance, elite, modern, fashion, classic...... Pronoun.
