Watching movies related to Shanghai, especially spy war dramas, the probability of the name Xia Fei Lu appearing is very high, for example, Sun Dapu said in "Before Dawn": A new French restaurant opened on Xia Fei Road is very delicious. It starts from ** road in the east, west to Huashan Road, has changed its name several times in history, and the two most well-known names are from two famous battles, Xiafei Road is to commemorate the French general Xiafei who has contributed to the Battle of the Marne, and Huaihai Road is to commemorate the victory of the Huaihai Battle in the War of Liberation.
If your Shanghai tourism belongs to the type of person who loves hiking, you will more or less walk on Huaihai Middle Road, maybe you are also in Xiaoximen like me, when you go to Yuqing Road, Ruijin 1st Road, Sinan Road, Juchangfu area, and check in at Wukang Building or Jiaotong University. This time, when I went to Shanghai for the fourth time, I left a day here, from Renmin Road, Huaihai East Road, Middle Road to the last Shanghai Jiaotong University, and walked all the way, feeling half of the prosperity of the fireworks in the world under half of the sycamores flying in the sun.
The starting point of the hike starts from Yuyuan Old Street, passes through Anren Street to the north, passes through Yuyuan Ancient City Park to reach Renmin Road, and goes west to ** South Road, with a total length of 345 meters, which is the core area of Yuyuan Garden in today's Old West Gate, formerly known as Ningbo Road when it was in the French Concession, in other words, Huaihai East Road, these 345 meters are the prototype of the French Concession in the early days, the biggest attraction of this road is in addition to the ups and downs of the old city, that is, "the world is full of things mixed with a surging trend, is happy or sorrowful, and the waves can't distinguish laughter and sorrow" big world amusement center.
Continue to the west is Huaihai Middle Road, the history also goes back to 1860 when the French Royal Cruise Company wanted to settle in Shanghai, and the French ** again asked to expand from the east side of the ** Road to the west to Huashan Road, thus forming the Huaihai Middle Road of about 5 kilometers now, and the Wukang Building you see today was the French Royal Cruise Company in the previous life. The whole journey of about 5 kilometers of Huaihai Middle Road is now also two completely different styles, the east section of ** Road to South Shaanxi Road is a bustling commercial block, international brands, sports trend gathering place, if a famous expensive brand is not opened in Huaihai Middle Road, it may be its own reflection on it.
Just like I am standing at the door of the Hermes House at No. 217 Huaihai Middle Road in this winter, I am thinking that I must slow down when I walk in, wear half sleeves in the down jacket, take off the down jacket and hold it in my hand when I walk in, giving people a feeling that the warm breeze in the car is not going to stay and want to breathe or I want to go to Sanya for a vacation in winter. When you see the bag and the ** on the bag, don't shout with your eyes shining, and you can't rush to put the key cosmetics tissue in the bag, that can only show that what you care about is the practicality of the bag, and what is sold here is taste, you should say that the pendant on this bag is like a tear, which is very in line with my past mood. The west section of South Shaanxi Road to Huashan Road retains the historical heritage of the city for a hundred years, there are various styles of Western buildings distributed on both sides, the original strong commercial atmosphere on Huaihai Middle Road began to disappear, this section is also the core area of Shanghai's hiking tourism, from this section to draw a circle, that is, the former French Concession area, the huge rich and long Wukang Yuqing Road Urumqi Road to the south to Yongjia Road to Sinan Mansion, this hiking route has been walked before. It's a classic.
If you are like me this time, just take the whole Huaihai Road, there are a lot of buildings on both sides of this section, after Huashan Road until Xujiahui belongs to Huaihai West Road, here is the boundary road between Xuhui and Changning, and it is also the last batch of public concessions of the European powers, now there is no business atmosphere you have walked before, low-key life atmosphere and strong cultural atmosphere, here is the end of Huaihai Road, and it is also the beginning of another hiking route Xinhua Road all the way north to Zhongshan Park.
Finally, don't forget to see Shanghai Jiao Tong University, if you start from Xujiahui, extend a Huaihai Road to the east, straight across Shanghai Tang, it used to be an artery that fully presents Western civilization, the demeanor of the old Shanghai high-level society, then to the west until Jiaotong University here, Shanghai has been marked with a century-old campus, and Jiaotong University, which came into being when the Chinese and Western civilizations were turbulent in the last century, is a shining pearl in this highest-level civilization.
