[2025 Shanghai ] Travel Guide for Yunjian Grain Storehouse (Updated Jun)

[Shrine] Songjiang, formerly known as Gu Huating, is the earliest core area of human activity and the birthplace of culture in Shanghai. It is known as the root of Shanghai. Historically, there was first Songjiang Prefecture, then Greater Shanghai. [Shrine] Take a day trip to the central area of the former Gu Huating to experience the historical and cultural heritage and the new look of the city at the root of Shanghai. [Shrine] Songjiang Fangta Park and Drunk Bai Chi, two of Shanghai's five major classical gardens, are located in the central area of Gu Huating and are the main check-in points for a day trip to Gu Huating Citywalk. In addition, the following check-in points in the area are recommended: Yunjian Granary, Songjiang No. 2 Middle School, and Wazi Xin Nong. 📝 Gu Huating Citywalk Route Suggestions: In the morning, take Metro Line 9 to Zui Bai Chi Station. The first stop is Zui Bai Chi Park ➡️ Yunjian Granary ➡️ Fangta Park, enter from the east gate and exit from the north gate ➡️ Songjiang No. 2 Middle School ➡️ Wazi Xin Nong. See the route map in Figures [One] [Nine] for details. [One] Zui Bai Chi Park ✔️ Zui Bai Chi is the oldest of Shanghai's five major classical gardens, with a history of more than 900 years. It was formerly the private residence and garden "Guyang Garden" of Zhu Zhichun, a Jinshi from Songjiang in the Northern Song Dynasty. Dong Qichang, a calligrapher and painter of the Ming Dynasty, once wrote and painted here. During the Shunzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, Gu Dashen, a director of the Ministry of Works, expanded and named it "Zui Bai Chi" in imitation of Han Qi of the Song Dynasty's admiration for Bai Juyi, and it has been used to this day. ✔️ Zui Bai Chi retains the typical Ming and Qing Jiangnan garden style, with a pool of water as the center, surrounded by winding corridors and pavilions, forming a four-season landscape of "visiting peonies in spring, watching lotus flowers in summer, admiring chrysanthemums in autumn, and admiring plum blossoms in winter." ✔️ There are also historical and cultural buildings in the park, such as Chishang Cottage, Xuehai Hall, Carved Flower Hall, and Dong Qichang Museum. It preserves artistic treasures such as Zhao Mengfu's stone carvings of "Former and Later Chibi Fu" from the Yuan Dynasty, and the stele carvings of "Yunjian Bangyan Portraits" from the Qing Dynasty, as well as precious plants such as century-old peonies and ancient ginkgo trees. [Two] Fangta Park ✔️ The site of Fangta Park was originally the Xingshengjiao Temple, which was built in the second year of Qianyou (949) in the Later Han Dynasty of the Five Dynasties. The Xingshengjiao Temple Pagoda in the temple, commonly known as Fangta because the plane of the tower is square, is a pavilion-style brick and wood structure and is a rare representative of ancient Song Dynasty wooden towers in the Jiangnan area. ✔️ During the wars of the past dynasties, the Xingshengjiao Temple was completely destroyed, and only the Fangta survived. In the 1970s, Fangta Park was built around the Fangta, and many historical buildings in the Songjiang area were moved to the park, making Fangta Park a landscape gathering the history and culture of Songjiang. ✔️ In addition to the Fangta, there are many cultural and natural landscapes in the park, such as the brick carving screen wall of the Ming Dynasty, the Tianfei Palace, and the Riyue Lake, which are worth visiting. [Three] Yunjian Granary ✔️ A cultural and creative park transformed from a historical grain storage area, with cultural and sports venues such as the Yunjian Art Museum and Locke Park. There are also restaurants such as Gu Cang and Night Shanghai, as well as accommodation such as Manxin Hotel to choose from. ✔️ After leaving Zui Bai Chi, you can take a break in Yunjian Granary, drink some coffee, have lunch, replenish your energy, and then go to the east gate of Fangta Park to enter the park. [Four] Songjiang No. 2 Middle School ✔️ A century-old famous school that has cultivated many outstanding talents. Its school gate was built in the Song Dynasty and is known as the "First Building in Yunjian". It was originally the watchtower of the Songjiang Prefecture Office and was named the "Tallest Building in Songjiang" during the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty. ✔️ After exiting from the north gate of Fangta Park, Songjiang No. 2 Middle School is on the opposite side of your left hand. [Five] Wazi Xin Nong ✔️ From the gate of Songjiang No. 2 Middle School, go west, turn right at Tongbotang Bridge, walk along the riverside landscape trail, and you will reach Wazi Nong. ✔️ In the past, more than 100 sock shops were opened in Wazi Nong, selling summer socks processed with Songjiang's famous Youdun cloth, which were very popular and became a sock street distributed to various places. This former prosperity is an epitome of Huang Daopo's promotion of the prosperity and development of the Songjiang textile industry. ✔️ Today's Wazi Nong has been transformed into the Wazi Xin Nong Cultural and Creative Park, which has become a multi-functional leisure and entertainment place for dining and vacation. Restaurants such as Zheli's Taste are worth a try. After a full meal, head home. 📍 Detailed address: Zui Bai Chi Park: No. 64, Renmin South Road Fangta Park East Gate: Fangta South Road, North Gate: No. 235, Zhongshan East Road Yunjian Granary: No. 327, Songhui East Road Songjiang No. 2 Middle School: No. 250, Zhongshan East Road Wazi Xin Nong: No. 32, Wazi Nong

One Pagoda: Square Pagoda (Square Pagoda Garden) Songjiang, Shanghai was established as Huating County in the tenth year of the Tianbao Period of the Tang Dynasty, and it has been 1,273 years. The place where the square tower was located was the bustling center of Huating County during the Tang and Song dynasties. However, after many vicissitudes of life, only a solitary tower and two stone pillar bases remain of the Xingshengjiao Temple where the square tower was once located. The Square Pagoda was first built in the Later Han Dynasty of the Five Dynasties. It was originally named Xingshengjiao Temple Pagoda. It was called the Square Pagoda because of its square shape. There is a screen wall in front of the tower, which was built in the Ming Dynasty. In the middle of the screen wall is carved a giant beast, the legendary "Gan". The Zhaobi was originally the screen wall of the City God Temple in Songjiang Prefecture. During the Anti-Japanese War, the Japanese army bombed and the temple was destroyed, but the wall remained. It is the oldest and best-preserved large-scale brick carving artwork in the country. There is a Tianhou Temple to the north of the tower. Its predecessor was the Shunji Temple located in the Shiliupu area of ​​Xiaodongmen in the old city of Shanghai. After its destruction, it was rebuilt at the bridgehead of Henan South Road, Suzhou River, renamed Tianhou Temple, and finally moved here. It is also the only remaining Tianhou Temple in Shanghai. On the right side of the Tianhou Temple there is a trench built of granite. Being in it gives you the feeling of standing in a deep valley, especially in the mottled light and shadow, as if you have transformed into a battle-hardened general, defending a city. (Figure 1-7) Transportation and tips: Take the "Songjiang No. 26" bus from the entrance of Zuibaichi, get off at Fangtayuan Station, and walk back about 15 meters. Songjiang Museum is adjacent to Fangtayuan. Fangta Garden is actually more like a park, a bit like the Small Wild Goose Pagoda attraction in Xi'an. It covers a large area, but there is not much to see. Ticket price: 12 yuan/person. First Granary: Yunjian Granary Songjiang was called Yunjian in ancient times, and Yunjian Granary was originally a grain warehouse and factory built from the 1950s to the 1990s. It has now been transformed into a commercial complex integrating art galleries, hotels, restaurants, entertainment, sports, retail and other business formats. However, to be honest, apart from the graffiti on the eight silos, there are not many eye-catching creative ideas. If you want to check in, it feels a bit useless. (Figure 8-10) Transportation and tips: Bus Songjiang No. 2/33, Songhui East Road Songjin Highway Station. Or you can take a 10-minute ride on a shared bicycle from the east gate of Fangta Garden. First bridge: Dacang Bridge Zhongshan West Road in Songjiang is a planned Cangcheng historical and cultural area, and was also the largest grain storage site and starting point for grain transport in Songjiang Prefecture during the Ming and Qing dynasties. At one end of Zhongshan West Road is "Cangcheng Zhang's Rice Shop", and at the other end is Dacang Bridge. The entire Zhongshan West Road is being demolished and rebuilt. The only things left and still in business are the old houses and specialty shops that will become part of the historical and cultural area. Okura Bridge is the most worthwhile place to visit among them. Dacang Bridge was first built in the Ming Dynasty and was originally named Yongfeng Bridge. It was named because the south of the bridge was the ancient Songjiang Prefecture's grain transport warehouse city. It is a large stone bridge with five arches. One end of the bridge is connected to the old city, and the other end has a "Guanding Zen Temple" and Meng Jiang Pavilion. Guanding Temple was first built during the Ming Dynasty (1644-171 AD) and was originally a Guandi Temple, which was meant to protect the people and the home. Later it was renamed Guanding Zen Temple, meaning to pray for smooth water transport. It is said that Meng Jiang Pavilion by the river was the place where Meng Jiangnu rested when she passed through Songjiang on her way to find her husband after traveling thousands of miles. Go all the way along the alley next to Daigo Tea House, and then at a crossroads you will see a dilapidated but very photogenic door with a small wooden sign on it that reads "The coffee shop you have been looking for." I walked in with some hesitation, and saw a deserted yard with a few tables and chairs and an inconspicuous door. When you lift the door curtain, you will be greeted by a different kind of charm. It is really a unique coffee shop. How should I put it? The counter has the feel of a Japanese nightclub, and the interior decoration is a bit artistic and modern. A little casual, and a little fresh. Going out of the other door is the riverside. The old houses on both sides of the river exude a hint of ancient beauty, full of the unique charm of small bridges, flowing water and houses in the south of the Yangtze River. Coming out of the coffee shop, I walked up the stairs again. Crossing each step on the bridge was like wading in the 500-year river of time in Cangcheng. Looking at the scenery on both sides of the bridge, I couldn’t tell whether it was the river water under the bridge or the time under my feet that was flowing. (Picture 11 Zhongshan West Road, pictures 12-15, 19 Dacang Bridge, picture 16 Meng Jiang Pavilion, picture 17 Daigo Tea House Alley, picture 18 Coffee Shop) Transportation and tips: Bus Songjiang 4/5, Dacang Bridge Station. Or you can take a shared bicycle from Xilin Temple, which is about 15 minutes away. For shared bicycles, you can start from Zhang's Rice Shop, stop and take photos along the way, and finally park the bike at the bus stop. According to the coffee shop owner, squirrels can occasionally be seen in the yard. The lady boss is very welcoming. If you need, you can get a free glass of lemonade, ice water or boiled water. The coffee beans in the store are well selected, and the iced American coffee is delicious. The prices at the noodle shops near Okura Bridge are still affordable. The old shop on Zhongshan West Road is free to visit, and there are several good photo spots.

Between the Clouds (II). Yunjian Granary is another gathering place for Yunjian culture created by Songjiang by renovating an old granary. Here, the high degree of integration of Songze culture and Shanghai culture, the continuation of ancient culture and the intersection of modern culture, and the collision and tolerance with Western culture are fully demonstrated; here, the convergence of colors and artistic creativity is fully displayed, and it is also a vivid embodiment of the vitality of old buildings, and it is filled with the smoke and kitchen smell of Songjiang cuisine and foreign catering... Yunjian Granary is not far from the intersection of Songhui Middle Road and Jinxing Road. You can take multiple buses and get off at Songhui Middle Road-Jinxing Road Station. The attraction is open all day, and there are light shows and food stalls at night. Cloud Granary

With a few good friends, we rented some shared bicycles and rode on a Saturday morning. The morning in Songjiang is quiet and beautiful. The flowers and fruits of the roadside soapberry trees look so gorgeous against the backdrop of the blue sky and white clouds. For mothers, this kind of time is truly their own. When we arrived at the Cloud Grain Silo, we parked our bikes at the designated spot and walked to admire the beauty of the grain silo. This place used to be an abandoned grain silo and factory. After being transformed by artists, it has become a palace of art. There are exhibitions, academies, places to paint and dance, and various food and clubs. As lovers of literature and art, we praised all the way. This place is also very photogenic, and any casual shot is beautiful. If you want to come here, it is recommended to come early in the morning, because there are basically no people here early in the morning, and you can see an empty Cloud Grain Silo. But if you are an extrovert and like lively places, come here on weekend afternoons. It will also be bustling with people.
