Qibao Ancient Town

#chinatrip Charming ancient town with a wide variety of Chinese street food to enjoy.

Conveniently located near the metro station with no entrance fee. Make sure to visit the temple, it's a must-see.

Qibao is known for its cricket fighting, but unfortunately, we arrived too late to catch it :(
One of the ancient towns in Shanghai. Used to visit when I was living in Shanghai. Nice alleys filled with all kinds of knick knacks and interesting food from Stinky tofu to Balut type eggs.

Today we ate a green glutinous rice cake only available in spring, filled with black sesame, red bean paste or pork floss with salted egg yolk. Delicious.

Also ordered a UNESCO World Heritage food called Guan Dan. It’s basically egg yolk filled with a minced meat paste and then boiled. Served with soup that has coriander and seaweed. Yummy!
