• Detail about Qibao is below:

"Qibao (pinyin: Qībǎo Zhèn; literally: "Seven Treasures Town") is a town in Minhang District, Shanghai.Its formation can be traced back to the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, to the Northern Song Dynasty. The name comes from the local temple, "Qibao Temple". Today, Qibao is a tourist attraction, in the area known as Qibao Old Town by the Puhui River with traditional Chinese architecture and a number of attractions, including museums and street food.

Qibao is known for its speciality cuisine, hong shao rou ("red braised pork"), cooked using a combination of ginger, garlic, aromatic spices, chilli peppers, sugar, light and dark soy and sometimes rice wine.The town was also once the residence of the noted painter Zhang Chongren, a friend of the Belgian cartoonist Hergé, on whom the character Chang Chong-Chen from "The Adventures of Tintin" was based. Qibao is also known for crickets (with a "Cricket House") in the Qibao Old Town area."

老街景点:

*七宝酒坊

“七宝大曲 (http://baike.baidu.com/view/416840.htm)”向为众人所周知。酒坊集传统大曲酿造过程,让人一目了然。又集全国各地所产酒类,琳琅满目,大开眼界。休闲可品酒、喝酒、知酒,陶醉于其间。

*棉纺织馆

明、清时期,七宝隶属松江府,是“衣被天下 (http://baike.baidu.com/view/2950380.htm)”的主要集散地。馆展以植、收、纺、织、染为主线,全方位介绍七宝曾经辉煌的棉纺织业。并设“喜堂”,重现古七宝明间婚俗场景,并可参与模拟婚礼活动。

*蟋蟀草堂

沪上指七宝者源自蟋蟀,曾因抓蟋蟀名噪申城 (http://baike.baidu.com/view/611487.htm),可见蟋蟀文化之深厚根底。蟋蟀草堂集蟋蟀标本,器具、捉、养、斗过程,并参与实战,乐趣无穷。

*老行当

重现似曾相识的老行当,让人怀旧遐想。那些传统的手工艺劳动,记述了历史的昨天。铁匠铺、竹器坊、园木作铺等,都曾和我们生活密切相关。走进老行当,就象回到了那已经逝去的年月。

*周氏微雕馆

周氏父女以石刻,微雕为才艺,创作了颇具功力的艺术品,又微雕《华夏之宝》系列,红楼 (http://baike.baidu.com/view/404845.htm)石刻系列,石壶石雕系列、金文汉碑系列等。陈列作品上千件,形态各异,匠心独具,给人以惊叹之观感。

*斗姆阁

斗姆阁,是幢两层的楼阁式建筑,它的建造年代已经无从考证。它本来是为了供道教的斗姆神而造的。斗姆神,是道教信奉的女神,根据《道藏》所谈,她是北斗众星 的母亲,斗是她的“魄”,水是她的“精”,号为“斗母元君”。斗姆神的像是三面四首,左右各有四个臂膀。但后来斗姆阁在清代嘉庆元年(1796年)说是嘉 庆年间(1796-1820),被改建成了戏台,阁前供奉斗姆神,阁后演戏给城隍 (http://baike.baidu.com/view/128406.htm)看。

*教寺

庵遂改名七宝寺。因江水啮岸,宋初再迁,移今七宝地。初以张泽舍宅为寺。地缘寺而趋旺,七宝遂成地名。宋大中祥符年间(1008~1015年),请得宋真宗赐额。元代,赵孟頫 (http://baike.baidu.com/view/1101771.htm)有诗句“探奇来宝地,名刹冠丛林”,以咏镇咏寺。明成化十九年(1483年)建大寺 (http://baike.baidu.com/view/923543.htm)殿,万历十三年(1585年)重修。引横沥水灌四围,建寺前中、东、西3座香花石桥,面正对镇大街,“巍然为邑中名刹”。至清中叶,广40余亩,寺舍千余间,有荷花池、竹林、梅园 (http://baike.baidu.com/view/64822.htm),五代桧,罗汉松,人称郡东第一刹。咸丰 (http://baike.baidu.com/view/84502.htm)年间,终因兵燹而败。1947年,地方上绅以寺址,引上海南洋模范中学 (http://baike.baidu.com/view/722859.htm)建分校,尚有遗存山门,莲涌堂、荷花池,梓树,明钟,金字莲花经。2000年,政府决定移址重建,越年落成。寺襟汇带沥,建山门,钟鼓楼 (http://baike.baidu.com/view/90364.htm),天王殿,大殿,讲经堂,法堂,藏经楼,配七层宝塔,筑西园 (http://baike.baidu.com/view/167163.htm)、牡丹园,寺揉汉唐建筑风格 (http://baike.baidu.com/view/295100.htm),配以现代工艺和材料,庄严肃穆,经恢复为海上名刹,最胜道场
