The 250-meter-long South Yunnan Road in Shanghai, one of Shanghai’s last remaining downtown food streets which emerged in the 1940s,is counting down to its closure date due to the ongoing urban renewal campaign. Many citizens are lamenting the demise of the city’s most authentic traditional roadside flavors.
