The weather was nice, so I went to Jinchao 8 Lane to experience the Lunar New Year atmosphere. Jinchao 8 Lane is located on North Sichuan Road in Hongkou District, Shanghai. It was originally a Shikumen residential area, but after renovation, it became a leisure and entertainment street that combines history and modern trends. The area retains 66 old buildings in 8 lanes, including Gongyifang, Yingchuan Jilu, and Yinhong Garden. Various markets and entertainment activities are held here on weekends and holidays. There were not many people on weekdays, so the environment was nice. Several old houses from the Republic of China period have been renovated and opened to the public. The triplex building of the former "Royal Hotel" is now the "Haipai Culture Center", which displays "North Sichuan Road and the Beginning of Chinese Films". "Yingchuan Jilu" is now "One Foot Garden". "Yinhong Garden" is now the "Ba Jin Library", which has a "Ba Jin and Shanghai" literature and picture exhibition, and also collects literary works by Ba Jin and some Shanghai writers for reading. During the Spring Festival of the Year of the Snake, Jinchao 8 Lane held the "Le Jiangnan" Haipai Lantern Festival and Temple Fair, including lantern viewing, parades, games, shopping, and stamp collecting to win gifts. These activities will continue until Valentine's Day and this weekend (see Figure 20 for specific activities). Don't miss it if you're interested.

| Jinchao 8 Lane: Unlock the "trendy" power of the past and present of the alley! 🌿"Alleys make up the most common living space for millions of ordinary Shanghainese. Many important life scenes, experiences, and stories have grown and spread in these narrow spaces." As scholars say, Shanghai Jinchao 8 Lane is a stage that witnesses the passage of time. It has come from the past daily life and transformed gorgeously under the tide of the times. Now it has become a new cultural landmark, attracting attention from all over the world and continuing to write a new chapter in the alley. 🌈The ultimate guide to Shanghai Jinchao 8 Lane‼️‼️! Use the pitfalls I personally collected to help you avoid them＼(`Δ’) ❤️There is a very eye-catching three-row building in Jinchao 8 Lane, with red brick exterior walls and super long arcades, which has a history of nearly a hundred years. It used to be a hotel run by Italians, and now it is used as a Haipai Cultural Center, which holds the exhibition "Listening to the Tide of Shanghai, Flowing Light and Color - North Sichuan Road and the Beginning of Chinese Film" for a long time, introducing the early development of the Chinese film industry. 🎫Tickets: 🆓 Register at the entrance 🕒Opening hours: 9:30–11:30 am, 11:30 am–4:30 pm (last admission at 4:00 pm, closed on Mondays) ⏱️Visit duration: 30 minutes 🚇Transportation: Exit 3 of Sichuan North Road Station on Metro Line 10, walk 100 meters 🗺️Nearby old buildings: Ba Jin Library (50 meters) 💖See my series of notes for details 🔍100 old buildings in Shanghai that can be visited 📆Year of construction: 1927 📝History The predecessor of the Haipai Cultural Center building was the Royal Hotel run by Italian businessmen, designed by Xingtai Electric Light Company and completed in 1927. After several changes, it was used as the Air Force Newborn Society, Taihe Midwifery School, Navy Headquarters Office, Navy Family Area, Residential Building, etc. In 2017, the Haipai Cultural Center opened in Sichuan North Road Park. In 2024, this building in Jinchao 8 Lane will be reopened as the Haipai Cultural Center. 🏛️Architectural features The three-row building adopts brick-wood structure and outer corridor style, with red tile double-slope roof, red brick and blue brick exterior walls. The south facade is a continuous arcade, and the north facade has multiple groups of triangular gables with circular windows and red brick pilasters.

Shanghai's new landmark, the super fun "Jinchao 8 Nong", is a place that combines the charm of old Shanghai with a modern and trendy vibe! It's decorated for the Lunar New Year, so come and check it out! 👍 ☑️ It's also very convenient to get to. If you're taking the subway, take Line 10 to North Sichuan Road Station and exit from Exit 3. 💝 If you're driving, you can park your car at 💓Binhang Commercial Center, which is currently free all day, so take advantage of it while you can. 🍀 Suggested route 1⃣ First, check out Yichi Garden - the century-old mansion "Yingchuan Jilu", which is an old house dating back to 1907, with a blend of Chinese and Western styles, perfect for taking photos. Yichi Garden has food and drinks, but 🖍 if you go late, you'll have to wait in line. When you first enter Yichi Garden, you'll see a lot of orange chairs lined up like a conference room. I thought it was for a meeting, but then I realized it was for waiting, which is a great setup. 2⃣ After visiting the Yichi Garden building, go see the exhibition. There is a "Modern Renaissance" design exhibition in Building 5, which will give you a good understanding of the history and charm of Shanghai. 3⃣ The animation screening area in Building 1 will show selected works from the HiShorts! animation unit, which is super interesting. If you like reading, go to the Le Kai Bookstore in Building 5, which also has a "Back to Childhood" exhibition, and you'll feel like you're back in your childhood. 4⃣ Don't miss Ba Jin's former residence, which is now a great place to read books. If you read "Family, Spring, and Autumn" again, you'll have a different feeling. There are a lot of events going on lately, and if you happen to catch a market event, like the Chaoji Market, it's even more lively. The North Plaza Market area and the alleyways are full of delicious food, as well as all kinds of cultural and creative products, trendy clothes, and handicrafts. It's so much fun to eat and shop at the same time. Jinchao 8 Nong often has themed events, such as the Intangible Cultural Heritage Aoyu Lantern Alley Parade, the Haipai Lantern Festival Concert, and the Chaozhou Yingge Dance Performance. Check the schedule in advance and join in the fun. Food recommendations (none, don't fall for it) To be honest, there isn't much to eat here, most of it is small fast food restaurants, and the lines are long during the Lunar New Year. Eat before you come or find a place to eat after you visit.

🌇 The Shanghai-style Spring Festival Lantern Festival at Jinchao 8 Lane has new activities every year! This year's "Snake Culture" is inspired by the fascinating snake culture stories from the myths of eight ancient civilizations around the world, including ancient legends from the East and mysterious images from the West. 💗 Five groups of giant snake lanterns fly up and down, through walls and barriers. A giant snake rises from one end of the main lane of Jinchao 8 Lane in the Binjiang Commercial Center and extends to the other end, with the visual effect extending to the Binjiang Commercial Center. Colorful folding fans and auspicious patterns complement each other, as if the snake is soaring in the clouds, or like the feathered serpent god dancing in the air, bringing the audience a rainbow-like blessing, adding warmth and vitality to the Spring Festival. This installation is called "Fan Shadow" and is inspired by the cloud-riding power of the snake in the ancient Chinese book "Xunzi: Encouraging Learning" and the feathered serpent god Quetzalcoatl, which symbolizes wind, knowledge, and life in the Aztec civilization of the Americas. The two are wonderfully connected by wind and clouds, showing the integration and resonance of ancient Asian and American civilizations. 💗 Among the trees in the north square, the installation "Lingfeng" is inspired by the long snake recorded in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas: Northern Mountains" as "its hair is like a pig's bristle, and its sound is like a drum." The work is based on its unique texture, creating a three-dimensional effect of diamond patterns through laser engraving and curved bending of colored polyethylene sheets. Six colorful long snakes shuttle through the woods, with snake heads decorated with real glasses, creating a novel visual experience. 🎫 Tickets: Free, no reservation required ⌚ Date: From January 2, 2025 🌟 Lighting time: 17:00 every day 🚇 Transportation: Exit 3 of "North Sichuan Road Station"

| Royal Hotel. Passing by "Jin Chao 8 Lane", I found that the three-row old building on Wujin Road has a new identity - Haipai Culture Center. The old house was originally the Royal Hotel (Royal Hotel) opened by Italian merchants a hundred years ago. It is an Anne Queen-style gallery-style building. The continuous arc-shaped coupons have a rhythmic beauty. The exquisite degree of decoration, wall pillars, and line feet on the north facade is breathtaking, especially the two oval portholes on the top floor, which add agility to the entire facade. At first glance, it seems to have come to a square in a small town in southern Europe in the early 20th century. At present, a film history theme exhibition is being held on the first floor. North Sichuan Road was the birthplace of early Chinese movies. Hongkou witnessed the development of Chinese movies and the prosperity of Haipai culture. Very trendy and very age-sensitive. Address: Lane 393, Wujin Road (Jin Chao 8 Lane) Transportation: Exit 3 of Sichuan North Road Station on Line 10 Tickets: Free, no appointment required Time: 9:30-11:30, 13:30-16:00 (16:00 stop admission) Closed on Monday

📍Address: Jinchao 8 Lane, No. 35-95, Lane 989, North Sichuan Road, Hongkou District Jinchao 8 Lane has also updated the Mid-Autumn Festival installation. It is recommended to check in after 5:30. The lighting here is relatively weak, and the night view is not easy to take. You can take a cross shot during the day and night. You can also take a stroll and have dinner. The big moon and the pink and yellow gradient rabbit are on the same lawn. The blue rabbit lying down is too big. If conditions permit, it will look better if you take a bird's-eye view. There are really few people in Jinchao 8 Lane on weekdays, and it is very convenient to take pictures. The swing chair light at the entrance of ARK LIVEHOUSE is quite good. I had dinner at ibarrel opposite. 🚗Transportation: Direct access from Exit 3 of North Sichuan Road Station on Metro Line 10

Jinchao 8 Lane, located at the intersection of Sichuan North Road and Wujin Road in Hongkou District, Shanghai (No. 35-95, Lane 989, Sichuan North Road, Exit 3 of Sichuan North Road Station of Metro Line 10), is an old building block composed of 8 lanes, 60 Shikumen buildings, and 8 independent buildings. "Jinchao" refers to "lifestyle trends," and "Haipai Jinchao" means "Haipai trend," which is both a new era interpretation of "Haipai" and a deep-level rendition of "Jinchao." With its preserved Haipai architectural features and immersive multi-cultural art experience activities, this century-old Shikumen old street block is endowed with a rich artistic atmosphere, making it a trendy check-in spot in the magic city. Jinchao 8 Lane

"Jin Chao 8 Nong" is a landmark of literature and fashion on the Sichuan North Road commercial street in Shanghai, located at the intersection of Wujin Road and Sichuan North Road in Hongkou District. "Jin Chao" refers to "the latest trends and fashion of the present," and "8 Nong" refers to a block composed of eight lanes of Shikumen old buildings. Here, there are creative shops that sell gourmet food and gifts, as well as a variety of cultural and performing arts activities held throughout the year.

It is a creative cultural district with diverse characteristics. In other words, "Jin Chao 8 Nong" is modern and also Shanghainese; it is historical and also trendy; it is cultural and also commercial. On the occasion of this year's Dragon Year Spring Festival, at the main entrance of Jin Chao 8 Nong, a red giant dragon coils around the parapet, columns, and pools. Upon closer inspection, the "dragon's body" is made up of a series of traffic cones, which is quite stunning.

The heavy rain in the afternoon washed away the days of heat. The breeze blew through the alleys, and the scene before my eyes was both familiar and strange... "Jinchao 8 Lanes" consists of 8 lanes and 66 new-style Shikumen houses. In the past, most of the residents here were from Guangdong, so it is also called Guangdong Lane. There is the exquisite mansion [Yingchuan Jilu] as well as the [Qianhong Garden] which blends Chinese and Western styles (Shanghai Literature Museum is under construction). An event called "Hong Kong Today" was held not long ago, and the embellishment of the southern lions fits in very well with the Guangdong alleys. The old houses have been renovated to look like new, and the living rooms, overpasses, pediments, etc. have been preserved, preserving the cultural context of the city. Relying on excellent historical buildings, there are often live cultural performances and various exhibitions, making it a great place for leisure and entertainment. Location: Junction of North Sichuan Road and Wujin Road, Hongkou District, Shanghai, Exit 3 of North Sichuan Road Station, Metro Line 10. Continue northwards - Visit Duolun Road, Shanyin Road, the Fourth National Congress of the Communist Party of China and other historical districts Continue southwards - Check out the remains of Kunshan Garden, Jingling Hall, and the Municipal Post Office p.s. At the intersection of Haining Road, I came across the bookstore that I visited with my classmates when I was in school. It is still there after all these years, and the appearance has become more beautiful. I feel very emotional.

Rising dragon and playing with the tide, the Shanghai style New Year's flavor season🐲🐉 The New Year's ritual sense of the Chinese people is to go to the temple fair and other meetings to celebrate a special Chinese New Year. In addition to the popular Yu Garden Lantern Festival, Hongkou District's Jinchao Balong is also recommended for everyone to play. This year's Jinchao Balong Dragon Year themed lantern festival has been arranged early. In the various lanes of Jinchao 8, the images of the nine sons of the dragon are interspersed. These dragon images are lively and lively, with a young and trendy flavor, and they complement the Shanghai alley culture. It is even more unique after the lights are turned on at night. If you don't want to squeeze people to see the lights this Spring Festival, come to Jinchao Balong to take a look!

At first glance, this fire dragon is quite unique, coupled with the 'Dragon Rising Tide Lane·Shanghai Style New Year Flavor Season' held in Hongkou District this year. The concept of the dragon's nine sons is used for the exhibition, including Qiuniu, Yazi, Chifeng, Pulao, Suanni, Bixi, Bi'an, Fuxi, and Chiwen. I'm still amazed at how well this place is operated, it's a bit like 'Little Zhang Garden' or 'New Xintiandi'. But when I got home and looked at the photos closely, I realized that this fire dragon was made of isolation warning cones, the red cone-shaped objects used for accident parking on highways. Could it be that Dahongkou is recycling?

🎻 I watched Little Jack over the weekend, this musical immersed me in the atmosphere of a 1967 British pub, as if I was in that era full of music and stories. 📼 Plot The story unfolds from the return of the Little Jack band to the stage, the new album behind it and the story of the girl Julie, all moved me. 🌟 Cast JACK - Tian Ye JULIE - Chen Qi Er Tian Ye's on-the-spot response is very quick, natural and not pretentious when interacting with the audience, which is commendable. On stage, he not only showed excellent singing skills, but also showed the real expression of emotions. Chen Qi Er's voice is clear and pleasant, adding many highlights to the whole play, each solo deeply moved me. 🍹 Atmosphere Jin Chao 8 Lane as a theater, the whole venue is full of pub atmosphere. The drink order before the show, the table next to each seat, all make people feel as if they are in the pub of that era. The only downside is that the seats are a bit crowded, but this also makes me more immersed in the plot. 🙌 Interactive Session The interactive session of this musical is also very interesting, the aisle side, the first row of the beach area and the Yueyue platform area all have the opportunity to interact with the actors at close range. The participation of the audience also makes the whole atmosphere more active. I hope that in the future there will be more musicals to bring such immersive experiences, allowing us to get closer to the characters.

A wave of nostalgia swept Shanghai In addition to the Yellow River Road in "Fanghua" There is also Zhapu Road in "Jiangyuan Lane" . This was originally a demolition area. Spotted by director Peter Chan The real scene of "Jiangyuan Lane" is set up here The whole street is full of the flavor of old Shanghai, and every shot is like a movie~ The street is about 500 meters long and can be walked in half an hour. But there are also some other historical buildings and cultural spaces nearby I have arranged a citywalk route for my kids, so they can follow it without any worries. One afternoon is enough. 📍Starting point: Jihui Building 🚶‍♀Citywalk route: Wusong Road, Wujin Road, Jihui Building ➡ Wujin Road, adjacent residential buildings ➡ Former site of Ende Hall ➡ Former site of Nishi Honganji ➡ Jiangyuan Lane, Minguo Street ➡ Shengli Cinema ➡ Shengbang International Building ➡ Jinchao Lane 8 Cultural Space 🚇 Public transportation: Take Metro Line 10, Sichuan North Road Station, Exit 1, and walk to Jiangyuan Lane Minguo Street for about 10 minutes

| Strongly recommend that the people of Shanghai come and visit this New Year's alley!. It's the end of January, and all I can think about is celebrating the New Year! The alley of Jin Chao 8 has also put on a New Year's skin There are 'Nine Sons of the Dragon' hidden everywhere, the lantern festival atmosphere is so strong Immediately pose a pose in front of the Dragon King like the same style as Zhen Huan~ 🆘I also saw a fairy! So beautiful ah ah ah ah It turns out that there is a New Year's series of performances, today is a Hanfu dance flash mob! I found a detailed activity schedule, I dare not think about how lively the New Year will be There are not many people for the time being, if you don't want to go to Yu Garden where people squeeze people, friends hurry up~

Came to see the environmental musical Little Jack, in this night, saw such a story, the wind is also romantic. Jack is the name of the band's lead singer, the musical tells the rise and fall of a band, and also tells a poignant love story to the audience. Little Jack sings, missing a girl named Judy, missing the simple appearance of love. The story is beautiful and moving, the stage effects are also great, there is a sense of immersion in the livehouse, the male and female protagonists have full singing skills and expressiveness, and there are interesting interactions.

I happened to pass by on the road and found that this is Jinchao Lane 8. Because there are still some schedules to arrange later. Take the time to go for a stroll. I found that from Friday 10.27 to Sunday 10.29, The Love in Prague event is being held here. 🈶️Czech jewelry, food, and artworks, And ❤️Musha who has always been my favorite in my heart. One of the 🀄️🈶️foreign chefs 👨‍🍳 was cooking on site, It is on the plates of the diners who are eating. This food is so pale, it really doesn't look appetizing... After a round, I found that Most of them are product sales promotion. One of the few places with a queue. I was just about to go see what was going on. I heard an old lady next to me say, It seems like there is a promotion to give away kitchenware for every click. There are 8 sets of kitchenware in total. The 8 people in the queue in front of me have already 🈵️🤣… Then there is no need to see what is going on. Just continue the journey~haha~
