Historical evolution

Hongqiao Town is one of the main vegetable production bases in Shanghai. It has been planting commercial vegetables for more than 100 years. During the Zhengde period of Ming Dynasty, it gradually became a market, which was called Hongqiao city during the Jiaqing period of Qing Dynasty. The north of the town is called Beitan, and the south of the pond is called Nanjie. In the early years of the Republic of China, most of the shops were concentrated in the South Street. In the North Beach, there were cloth shops and gin shops. There were 32 industries and 56 shops in the town. During the Anti Japanese War, it was located in the blockade line of "Qingxiang" between Japanese and puppets, and the market declined sharply. In 1949, there were 61 stores with 118 employees. Among them, there are 14 Yanshi shops, 8 teahouses, 5 tofu shops, 4 restaurants and 4 xianrouzhuang. Since the 1960s, shops have gradually moved to the North Beach, along the North Bank of Puhuitang, facing the river. Jianxin town is located in the north of the town, at the intersection of Hongmei North Road and Wuzhong road. It has more than ten shops and rural movie theater. There were 20 stores in 1984. Hongqiao villa is newly built in the north of the town for foreigners living in Shanghai, and Tianma hotel is built in the east of the town. In 1986, some areas were supplied with gas.
