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.

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.

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".
