A
beautiful
Ancient
Town
dating
back
to
around
the
1200's.
The
town
includes
the
Bell
Temple
and
tons
of
restaurants
and
shops.
The
town
is
beautiful
when
the
sun
sets
and
everything
lights
up
in
incredible
red
and
green
hues.
Qibao
is
a
hidden
gem
located
just
off
of
one
of
the
main
roads
in
Shanghai.
The
shops
have
everything
from
small
souvenirs
and
trinkets
to
purses,
clothes,
and
shoes.
In
addition
to
the
many
restaurants,
there
are
street
food
vendors
mixed
in
with
the
shops
of
Qibao
where,
if
you're
brave
enough,
you
can
experience
Chinese
food
that
is
as
authentic
as
it
gets.
We
were
glad
that
we
stumbled
across
Qibao
and
look
forward
to
walking
the
streets
of
Qibao
again
during
future
visits
to
Shanghai.
It
was
a
wonderful
experience
visiting
a
town
that's
more
than
500
years
older
than
the
country
I
call
home
(America).
There
is
a
bridge
over
the
Puhui
River
where
you
can
get
some
great
photos
of
the
shops
and
restaurants
that
line
both
sides
of
the
water
on
either
side
of
the
bridge.
Qibao
is
also
known
for
their
crickets
and,
I
believe,
the
cricket
fights
in
the
arena.
I
didn't
see
the
cricket
fights,
but
I
did
see
some
of
the
crickets
and
they
are
HUGE!
I've
never
seen
anything
like
it.
Qibao
is
worth
the
visit
if
for
no
other
reason
than
to
see
the
biggest
crickets
I've
ever
seen
(by
far).
