The Jiangyin Community near People’s Square was once home to a typical street market dating back to early last century.
The 200 meters of Jiangyin Road across the community was initially called Mandalay Road, named after a British official at the nearby Shanghai Race Club. It became the city’s first and most popular flower and bird market in 1960s, a delightful memory to many locals. The market was relocated in 2001.
A wide variety of local architectural styles, such as shikumen, old and new lane-style neighborhoods, garden villas and old apartment buildings accumulated in the downtown community, accommodating about 2,500 households in cramped quarters with shared kitchens and toilets.
