[2025 Shanghai Restaurant] Travel Guide for YUYANGONGGUAN (Updated Jul)

Speaking of Shanghai, apart from the Bund night view and Wutong Street, what I love most is actually the traditional taste of the place. This time I came to Shanghai, I tasted several unforgettable classic Shanghai dishes. Every bite was like traveling back to the old Shanghai. 🥣 Peach Gum Soup｜Smooth and Soft, Sweet and Not Greasy This dessert is really a favorite of girls~ The peach gum is cooked just right, and slow-cooked with white fungus, red dates, and lotus seeds into a soup that melts in the mouth, nourishing the skin and relieving greasiness. 🦆 Eight Treasure Duck｜The ultimate representative of Kung Fu cuisine Eight ingredients including glutinous rice, ham, chestnuts, lotus seeds, and mushrooms are stuffed into the whole duck, which is then simmered over low heat for several hours. The duck meat is soft and tasty, and the glutinous rice has absorbed the soup, giving you a flavor of the New Year in every bite. 🐷 Pickled Pork Duxian｜The most representative taste of Shanghai spring "Pickled" means pickled bacon, "stewed" means slow-cooked, and "fresh" means fresh bamboo shoots, bean curd sheets, and pork bones. This soup is refreshing and rich in flavor, especially suitable for drinking in spring, warming the stomach and stimulating the appetite. 📍 Recommended restaurants Yuyan Mansion (Pudong Shangyuewan Branch) 🍴 Type: Shanghainese restaurant 📍 Address: Shangyuewan Plaza, Pudong New District, Shanghai (about 480 meters walk from Exit 1 of Pudong South Road Subway Station) 🕚 Opening hours: Monday to Sunday 11:00–14:00 / 17:00–22:00 💰 Average cost per person: about ¥100-300.
