My Trip

Eat Shanghai's two great dumplings — juicy xiaolongbao and crispy-bottomed shengjianbao — side by side at home-turf masters in one route. Starting on the Huanghe Road food street, through to the century-old original near Yu Garden.

Itinerary

1
Jiajia Tangbao (Huanghe Road)佳家汤包 (黄河路店)
Dim sum · Dumplings · 35 min stay
A spot locals rate over the touristy Nanxiang. The balance of juice and wrapper in its crab-roe (xiefen) xiaolongbao is the best. Opening-time queuing is the truth.
11:00 오픈 직후(줄 회피)
Walk 3 min
2
Yang's Fried Dumplings (Huanghe Road)小杨生煎 (黄河路店)
Dumplings · 25 min stay
A shengjian chain that started on Wujiang Road and swept Shanghai. Crispy bottom, hot juice bursting at one bite. For comparison against Jiajia's 'soupy type,' the opposite texture.
정오 전
Walk 7 min
3
Park Hotel Butterfly Pastry国际饭店西饼屋 (蝴蝶酥)
Bakery · Dessert · 15 min stay
The butterfly-shaped pastry (hudie su) of the 1930s Art Deco Park Hotel. A national snack Shanghainese queue to buy as gifts. A palate cleanser between dumplings.
오후 일찍(매진 전)
Walk 8 min
4
Wang Jia Sha (Nanjing Road West Main Store)王家沙 (南京西路总店)
Restaurant · 35 min stay
A 1945 old-timer. The standard of Shanghai lunch — liangmianhuang (pan-fried noodles), xianrou mooncakes and qingtuan — all in one place. Side reinforcement beyond dumplings.
14:00 늦은 점심
Taxi 15 min
5
Nanxiang Mantou Dian (Yu Garden Original)南翔馒头店 (豫园)
Dim sum · 40 min stay
Founded in 1900, called the birthplace of xiaolongbao. The ground floor is a tourist queue but upstairs seating goes up to crab-roe and truffle versions. Confirm the original's context last.
