New walkways to history, culture
Print Edition
Three new walking routes around Jing’an have opened for people to explore more of the district on foot.
The first route, which focuses on the history of the Communist Party of China, starts from the memorial of the Second National Congress of the Party and wends its way to the site of the office of the Eighth Route Army and New Fourth Army. The office, hidden in a shikumen (stone gate) building, was an important site in uniting the Chinese people to resist Japanese invaders.
A second route follows Shaanxi Road N. Built more than a century ago, the former Seymour Road is dotted with interesting buildings of different styles. Some, like the site of Chongde Girls’ School, where actress Ruan Lingyu once studied, are open to visitors. The school today is Qiyi High School.
The last route, which mainly follows Yuyuan Road, highlights the diversity of Jing’an. It includes Yugucun, a residential complex of shikumen houses; Paramount Hall, which was Asia’s premier dance hall in the 1930s; and the former residence of underground Party leader Liu Changsheng.
