Shanghai Tours-Visit Shanghai Duolun Road

Duolun Road (formerly named transliteration) is a little China tours street in Shanghai, north of the Sichuanbei Road Trade Area, and south of Lu Xun Park and Hongkou Football Field, with its back to the Inner Ring Viaduct and Jewel Light Track. The length of it is only about half a mile. The street is both narrow and short, and is also winding and deep and quiet, edged by little buildings of various styles, row upon row. Through in the maps it can hardly be found, it‘s a major scene in the history of literature of modern times.

In the past century, Shanghai has gone through a course of many vicissitudes. Once a fishing village and then a metropolis infested with foreign adventures, now it has become one of the great cities in the east. This course of history is showed concentratively in one aspect in Duo Lun Road and its surrounding areas, which can be, in fact, summarized Yangtze River cruises as they say:" Shanghai, a city of hundred years, can be seen in Duo Lun, a little street." During this historical period, its historical position as "the famous and major district of modern literature" was established by great literature masters such as Lu Xun, Mao Dun, Guo Moruo, Ye Shentao, and by authors of "The Left-wing Authors Alien" such as Ding Lin and Rou Shi.

Meanwhile it was made into "an open museum of Shanghai-fasion Buildings" bye the famous Gongfei cafe(relics) and Honde Hall, and by the residences of various styles such as Kong(xiangxi) Residence, Bai(Chongxi) Residence and Tang(Enbo) Residence. Above all, a strong flavour of culture has been formed in this area by famous men of letters such as Qu Qiubai, Chen Wangdao, Zhao Shiyan and Uchiyama Kanzo, and by the major cultural spots such as Jinyun Lane, Arts University of China, Arts Drama Troupe travel to Shangri-la and many other residences of famous persons and many other lanes in old Shanghai fashion. All these linger in our minds and we can‘t tear ourselves away.

 

Those past decades of years formed a brilliant scene and to get it reappeared. Cared and supported by Gong Xueping, the vice-secretary of Shanghai Committee of the Communist Party of China, the People‘s Government of Hongkou District decides to reconstruct Duolun Road into a "street of famous cultural persons". According to the plan of developing it as a whole and to the rule "Rebuild it as the former", we will manage to concentrate the hundred years history of Shanghai in the new street in future to reappear the fashion of culture and humanity of Shanghai in 1920s and 1930s. We plan to build about two dozens of various museums, arts halls and exhibition centers and all kinds of Cultural-relaxation places. Thus Duolun Road will become a hot spot of tourist trade that charactered by its special scenes of letters and museums and by its high quality of culture. Ranged along the sides of the street, the museums, the exhibition centers, the houses of antique and curio and calligraphy and painting, the bookshops, the literary clubs, the teahouse and the wine bars will frame an wonderful place for the guests home and abroad. They can go there for touring and sightseeing, for recalling the past times and beguiling their leisure times, and for cultural Shanghai tour consuming.
