What were the five famous roads in Shanghai in the old days? Where are they now?
Nanjing Road (formerly known as Dama Road)

Nanjing Road was first a British concession and then a public concession. Nanjing Road is the earliest commercial street established after the opening of Shanghai. At that time, foreign financial groups first established a financial concentration area on the Bund, and then developed their business along what was then called "Garden Lane" to "Main Street". With the rise of five universal films such as Yong 'an, Shixian, Xinxin, Daxin and Made in China, Nanjing Road has become the most prosperous commercial street in Shanghai.

Jiujiang Road (formerly known as Ermayina Road)

In the four years of Tongzhi, there were as many as ten foreign banks in Shanghai Concession, most of which were concentrated in downtown areas. At that time, there were two Jiujiang roads: one was Agathorn Bank at Jiujiang Road 1; One is a favorable bank, adjacent to Agatha. Later, Jiujiang Road opened nine, including Citigroup and Chase in the United States, Mitsui, Mitsubishi and Sumitomo in Japan, Anda in the Netherlands, Dehua in Germany, Overseas Chinese and Juxing City in China. It is called "China's Wall Street".

Hankou road (formerly known as Sanma Road)

In old hankou road, many events related to the newspaper industry happened.

Fuzhou Road (formerly known as Sima Road)

Sima Road is now Fuzhou Road. Named after the fourth road south of the main road (now Nanjing East Road); Because the original Trinity Church was built on this road (later moved between hankou road and Jiangxi Road), it was called "Mission Street". Fuzhou Road is the most concentrated block of teahouses, bookstores and theaters. Among them, famous tea houses and wineries include Yipin Xiang Restaurant, Qingliange Tea House, Xinghualou, Jufeng Garden, Civilized Jixian Building, Daguan Building, Qifang, Ping 'an, Huafangju, Fuan, Julaitang and Hayes Shengping Building.

Guangdong Road (formerly known as Wuma Road)

Guangdong Road used to be called Wuma Road, also called Baoshan Street. The middle section is also called Zhengfeng Street. It turns out that Zhengfeng is the signboard of a sauce garden, which is the street name. The telephone service in Shanghai began in June, 19th year of Guangxu reign (1882). There were two bureaus, the South Bureau was located in Shiliupu and the North Bureau was located in Zhengfeng Street, but they closed down due to lack of funds. It took a year to connect with the British-French-American Concession from Xujiahui Church and report the ups and downs. Since then, people from all walks of life have gradually felt the convenience of telephone. At that time, telephone was called "telephone call".
