Is there a secret ingredient to success? We’re standing before the Sanlin Celebrity Hall, a place dedicated to those who’ve achieved great things. The Sanlin Celebrity Hall sits at the east entrance of Sanlin Old Street. It holds a collection of plaques honoring local achievers. Sanlin Old Street itself is a treasure trove of Shanghai’s intangible cultural heritage. Think dragon dances, fried pork skin, and unique pickle recipes. The street has a history steeped in tradition, boasting twelve recognized forms of cultural heritage. One of these traditions is the Sanlin dragon dance, known as the “Pudong dragon twist lantern.” This intricate dance involves paper, silk, and bamboo dragons held aloft, appearing to dance through the air. Now, imagine visiting during a festival. The street comes alive with the vibrant energy of the dragon dance. The Sanlin Celebrity Hall celebrates the individuals who contributed to this rich tapestry of culture. It’s a reminder that even in a bustling metropolis like Shanghai, local traditions thrive. The Sanlin Celebrity Hall and Sanlin Old Street are not just attractions. They are living testaments to the enduring power of community and cultural heritage.
