Known forstreet foodlocalbudgetsnacks
A dense pedestrian lane near People's Square packed with Shanghai's most iconic street food vendors and small eateries, including shengjianbao, crab shell pastries, scallion pancakes, and stinky tofu. This is where office workers and locals eat, not tourists, making it one of the most authentic quick-bite corridors in the city center. Portions are small and prices are absurdly low, so graze across multiple stalls. Avoid lunchtime peak hours if you dislike queues.
