Shanghai Chenghuang Temple is near Fangbang Middle Road, Anren Road, and Shanghai Old Street is near Baodai Road, Fangbang East Road. Located in the most prosperous tourist area of Shanghai Chenghuang Temple, it is an important Taoist temple in Shanghai. It was built in the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty (1403- 1424) and has a history of nearly 600 years. Due to the special status of the Shanghai God enshrined in the Shanghai City God Temple in Shanghai, the construction and development of the Taoist temple of the Shanghai City God Temple has been enthusiastically supported by the Shanghai people in the development process of nearly 600 years. From Yongle in the Ming Dynasty (1403- 1424) to Daoguang in the Qing Dynasty (1821-kloc-0/850), the temple base of the Shanghai City God Temple has been expanding and the number of palace buildings has been increasing. At its peak, the total area reached 49.9 mu. As an important Taoist temple in Shanghai, the Chenghuang Temple in Shanghai naturally suffered a major blow during the Cultural Revolution. The statue was destroyed and the temple was used for other purposes. From 65438 to 0994, with the gradual implementation of the policy of freedom of religious belief, the Shanghai Chenghuang Temple was restored and became a Taoist temple managed by orthodox Taoists again. With the concern of leaders at all levels and the support of Taoist believers, the first phase of the restoration project of Shanghai Chenghuang Temple was basically completed in only six years. Today, the Shanghai City God Temple includes Huo Guang Temple, Jiazi Temple, Caishen Temple, Cihang Temple, Town God Temple and Niangniang Temple, with a total area of about 1000 square meters. The Chenghuang Temple in Shanghai was built in the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty (after 1403).

Everyone in Shanghai knows the Chenghuang Temple. After the opening of Shanghai, merchants gathered in Chenghuang Temple and its surrounding areas, and the market flourished. You can buy many necessities in Chenghuang Temple, especially some daily necessities. Starting from 199 1, the Shanghai municipal government began to transform the Chenghuang Temple market into a modern large-scale tourist shopping center with national traditions-Yuyuan Mall. The roads in the mall are narrow, and most of the buildings were built 19 1 1 years ago (that is, in the late Qing Dynasty), which has a strong style and characteristics of ancient buildings in China. There are many small shops in the whole shopping mall, with a dazzling array of goods, each with its own characteristics and bustling customers, maintaining the style of the ancient town and market in China. Most Chinese and foreign tourists who come to Shanghai will go to the old city.
