These cultural relics that have been buried underground for thousands of years have been carefully restored by the cultural relics restorers of the Shanghai World Expo, changing the dilapidated and fragmented at the beginning of the previous excavation and standing in front of the world with a brand-new look.
In history, the site of Qinglong Town can be described as "the first town in Shanghai". Qinglong Town Site is located in Qinglong Village, Baihe Town, Qingpu District, western Shanghai. According to Ming Zhengde's "Songjiang Prefecture Records", "Qinglong Town was located on Qinglong River and was located in Tianbao for five years (746)". Qinglong Town was established five years earlier than Huating County, which was first established in Shanghai in the tenth year of Tang Tianbao (75 1), and hundreds of years earlier than Zhujiajiao, Qibao Street, Nanxiang and Fengjing, which are still prosperous today.
Qinglong Town in the Tang and Song Dynasties is known as the "giant town in the southeast" and is a place where "wealthy businessmen, famous families and right surnames" gather. In the Southern Song Dynasty, due to the prosperity of maritime trade, the scale of Qinglong Town became more and more considerable. There are "three pavilions, seven towers, thirteen temples, twenty-two bridges and thirty-six squares" in the town, which was called "Little Hangzhou" at that time.
