    The best piece of true Shanghai. If you want to get how Chinese people spend their free time - never hesitate to go there. Crowdy, tasty and truly local place #jiaozibaozi #dumplingswithpeanuts

    For locals, day trips to Qibao food street are about one thing only: food. Numerous hole-in-the-wall restaurants along the 400-meter-long street sell an extensive assortment of local snacks. Read more

    This place is way too crowded, you’re really better off getting a seat at a nice tea house along the water instead of playing gongfu with the mob.

    Really the only thing to do here is buy overpriced street food, but it’s still fun to fight all the pushing-and-shoving senior citizens once in a while.

    This is really an overpriced and crowded tourist trap, but… you need to bring people who visit you to places like this and Qibao is a convenient place to get to.

    Overpriced snacks are available everywhere and branded as traditional and authentic. Don't fall for this it's a fake money operation.

    Tourist trap, don't come here unless you haven't see any REAL "ancient towns" in China yet. Most of this is fake and it's all heavily commercialized.

    Милое китайское местечко, не особо отличается от 豫园 по ассортименту продаваемого туристам барахла.
