Magic City Walk @ Hongkou is not just about Sweet Love Road
I don't know when Sweet Love Road became a popular check-in spot on the internet. However, in the area around North Sichuan Road, besides Sweet Love Road and Duolun Road, there are many other streets worth strolling around.
🔖Shanyin Road: Starting from North Sichuan Road in the south and ending at Xiangde Road in the north, it is 651 meters long. Shanyin Road, originally named Shigaota Road, was built by the Shanghai Public Concession Works Bureau in 1911. The current Shanyin Road still retains some alleys and preserves the atmosphere that old Shanghainese people love.
🔖Liyang Road: Starting from the Huangpu River at Hongkou Port in the south and ending at North Sichuan Road in the north, it was originally named Dithway Road. Famous buildings include the former residence of Guo Moruo, Lu Xun's book storage room, the Shanghai General Trade Union before liberation, the former residence of Cao Juren, and the former residence of Jin Zhonghua, etc. The garden-style foreign-style building group is the most famous. Liyang Road is divided into two sections, separated by Siping Road in the middle.
🔖Siping Road: Originally named Qimei Road, the current Siping Road has been widened a lot, connecting many small streets. In autumn, the ginkgo trees on both sides add a lot of color.
🔖Sweet Love Road: Finally, let's talk about Sweet Love Road in a clichéd way. It was originally named Park Target Road. Those legends promoted on the Internet, to be honest, we have never heard of them. Apart from the artificially created atmosphere, there is really nothing to visit.
