What are the interesting places in LaoMinhang, Shanghai?

The old Minhang in Shanghai has a very long history and is also the most famous and prosperous place in the area. There are many historical buildings around now, but compared with its glorious history, it looks a little pale. Most people who like to play here are young people, and everyone pursues the elements of modernization.

Minhang, known as Minhang and Minhang in Yuan Dynasty, was also called Min Truss, which was later simplified as Minhang. Other place names along the Huangpu River, such as Du Xing, Chen Xing, Cao Xing and Zhu Xing, probably came from the "Hanghe Truss", that is to say, the river surface in Jiang Shen in spring is not wide, and people on both sides of the river come and go through pontoons.

Today, there are Feng Pu Bridge, Minpu Second Bridge and Minhang Ferry. In the era of Confucius, Minhang Ferry was called Tianjin. Confucius once interested Luz. Later, the meaning of the word Tianjin expanded a lot. For example, Minhang Ferry used to be very lively, and it was the only place for Fengxian people to enter the city. Now that several bridges have been built across the river, this ferry has been ignored.

In the early days, Minhang Ferry was adjacent to the mouth of Hengjing River in the east, and the current in the mouth was complicated, which had hidden dangers. Later, a new ferry was built in the west of Minhang Town, called Minhang Xi Du, and the ferry on the other side moved westward, directly renamed Xi Du, and now it is Xi Du Town in Fengxian. Later, Du Dong was abandoned and Minhang Xi Du was renamed Minhang Wharf.

Beihengjing joins Huangpu River.

Minhang ferry used to be a mixed ferry, so it was called ferry. After the completion of the bridge, all motor vehicles will cross the bridge directly, and only pedestrians and non-motor vehicles will cross the river by ferry. According to my observation, among the more than ten ferry routes on both sides of Huangpu River, Ximin Line may have the largest passenger flow.

The ferry pier building was still there a few years ago, but now it is demolished.

The Minhang ferry before the transformation is not like this now.

Passengers crossing the river are mainly electric cars.

More than 200 years ago, there was a Shen Dao quadrangle in spring on the east bank of Hengli Port (now called Beihengjing) on the north bank of Huangpu River, which should be the largest Shen Dao quadrangle in spring in southwest Shanghai. Probably no one can tell the causal relationship between it and Jiang Shen the previous spring.

In the 12th year of Yongzheng in Qing Dynasty (1734), the Chu residence in Shanghai was renovated (it should be rebuilt), and it was renovated again in Qianlong and Jiaqing years. An attic was built in the backyard, called the East Pavilion, also called the Spring Pavilion. The East Pavilion faces the sluice gate at the corner of Dongshou Huangpu River. On August 18th every year, the tide is surging, and the East Pavilion is a tide-watching resort.

One of the Ten Scenes written by Li, a talented woman in Minhang, is Watching the Tide in the East Pavilion.

If you want to borrow the worldly dust from Jiangbo, you can also worship Chunshen when you board the ship. Angry waves push mountains down, but some people ride the wind and waves.

Riding the Wind and Waves comes from the last sentence of Li Bai's Difficult Travel: "I will ride the wind and waves one day, and set my cloudy sail straight and bridge the deep, deep sea".

Li _, a native of Jiaqing period, came here to watch the tide and worship the spring. It was probably just after the renovation of Chunshen Daoyuan, and it is estimated that the East Pavilion was also built during the renovation.

At that time, Guanyin Pavilion was adjacent to Chunshen Daoyuan and was built during the Qianlong period. By 1937, Guanyin Pavilion was demolished and rebuilt by Master Huiming, and renamed as Longyin Temple. However, the temple built is like a thatched shed, covering an area of only over one acre. It can be seen that during the Jiaqing period, the scale of Guanyin Pavilion was much smaller than that of Chunshen Daoyuan.

Looking south from the Hengligang Bridge on Xinmin Road, on the left is the east bank of Hengjing, where Guanyin Pavilion was located about 200 years ago.

1995, the old Minhang Street was planned and reconstructed, and the Long Yin Temple was moved to Mindong Road 1. Now it has a considerable scale and extraordinary momentum. Hedong Road on the left side of the temple gate is only a few steps away from Huangpu River. The temple has several courtyards, and the backyard is a six-story dormitory. It was just built a few years ago, and it is estimated that it can accommodate hundreds of lay nuns to retreat here.

The location of Long Yin Temple is probably the former site of Chunshen Daoyuan where Li once visited. Chunshen Pavilion, who once watched the tide by Li Cainv, has long since disappeared. Minhang Riverside Park, which was built a few years ago, is said to have a Spring Pavilion, which is closer to the East Gate than the East Pavilion that Li boarded.

The entrance of Binjiang Park is at the intersection of Zijing Road, Hongmei South Road. After entering the park, walk five or six hundred meters east. A modern-style building may be a newly-built Chunshen Pavilion, but the park sign is marked with a landscape platform with a simple name. Maybe Chunshen Pavilion is still under planning, not this building.

There are many wisteria trees planted on the sidewalk by the river. West of Laominhang Town and east of Beisha Port, there is Gu Teng Garden, and a 480-year-old wisteria is still preserved, which is still growing well.

The planting of wisteria in Minhang District is related to the ancestor of this wisteria tree, which is the oldest wisteria tree in Shanghai. The directory number of ancient and famous trees in Shanghai is 1368.

Wisteria, nearly 500 years old.

There is indeed an observation deck in front of the red building. Looking east, there may be a once choppy sluice in the distance.

19 1 1 year, born in Minhang, Yingshi Li led a Shanghai business group to occupy the county seat and the manufacturing bureau, and Shanghai recovered, which basically laid the foundation for the North-South peace talks. It can be said that it was the abdication of the Qing emperor and the establishment of the Republic of China.

However, it failed to compete with Chen for the position of governor of Shanghai and turned to industry and commerce. The greatest achievement is the completion of the Hu-Min-Nan-Zhe Highway, which promoted the development of southwest Shanghai, but also demolished many old buildings, including the Millennium temple Mingxinjiao Temple.
