About Anting Old Street

The Anting River and Yong’an Pagoda create a clear sequence through this historic part of Jiading.

The street also connects with traditional indigo-patterned cloth through a local craft workshop. Compare the bridge and riverside layout with the pagoda, then look for current craft interpretation. The pagoda is a later structure within the historic townscape, so its present tower should not be mistaken for an unchanged Ming building.

What to look for

  • Yansi Bridge anchors the old street’s road-and-waterway layout.
  • Yong’an Pagoda provides a contrasting vertical landmark.
