Once the busiest old street in Shanghai, it is now deserted

With the planning and development of the city, some of the once bustling old streets may have been preserved, while others have gradually faded from people's view. Today, let's take a walk together to the Cangcheng Old Street located at Zhongshan West Road, Yushu Road, Songjiang District, Shanghai, and see what different sceneries are here. Although, when it comes to Cangcheng Old Street, many tourists from other places may feel quite unfamiliar with it. However, it used to be the busiest old street in Shanghai. Now it is deserted, which makes people sigh about the impermanence of the world! The old street is in the Cangcheng area, on the west side of Songjiang city. Not only that, but it is also worth mentioning that Cangcheng Old Street is also a historical preservation area in Shanghai. Among them, the Dacang Bridge is a landmark landscape here. The so-called Cangcheng actually refers to the large grain depot at that time was here. According to relevant historical records, during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there was a Cangcheng south of Dacang Bridge, with city walls, four gates, enemy towers, urn cities, etc., on a large scale. It can be said that it was the construction of Cangcheng that enabled the western part of Songjiang City to develop rapidly and influenced the pattern of ancient city development in Songjiang. In addition to this, Songjiang is one of the few towns in our country with two cities.
