It begins around suppertime on the weekends and rocks into the night.

Located in the Old French Quarter, original architecture and a lack of significant redevelopment gives the market an old-school feel.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the kind of market you visit to wander without worry. Hungry? Cheap eats are there, including some of the most popular Chinese food. Need to rest your legs? Cafes and bars invite you to duck in for a spell. Artisans sling their creations while vendors hawk their tchotchkes that you can take home as souvenirs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And best of all? It\u2019s a very tourist-friendly area and close to Xintiandi; an ideal night market experience for the first time visitor to Shanghai.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Read next:<\/em><\/strong><em> <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/what-pack-china-every-season\/\"><em>What to pack for China in every season<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-tongbei-road-street-market\">Tongbei Road Street Market<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2023\/09\/3.-norbert-braun-8THSaOvv8MA-unsplash-edited.jpg\" alt=\"Fresh fish in basket\" class=\"wp-image-874904\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/3.-norbert-braun-8THSaOvv8MA-unsplash-edited.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/3.-norbert-braun-8THSaOvv8MA-unsplash-edited-330x186.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/3.-norbert-braun-8THSaOvv8MA-unsplash-edited-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/3.-norbert-braun-8THSaOvv8MA-unsplash-edited-1536x864.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s something fishy about Shanghai\u2019s Yangpu district \u2014 but that\u2019s a good thing.&nbsp;The Tongbei Road Street Market sees schools of hungry mouths swim over for a feeding frenzy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re not saying that those who prefer the harvest from the earth will be left hungry, but if you\u2019re coming to Tongbei Road to sample some of the most popular Chinese food, you\u2019ll want it scooped straight from the ocean.
