Huangputangjiawan lu
2008-01-21 08:54:00 This made me laugh although I’m not really sure why. HuangPuTangJiaWan Lu (South) is the longest street name I’ve ever seen, beating out Urumuqi Lu with embarassing ease. And yet the street itself was just a tiny little back alley down near the Lupu bridge. As far as I know, the street names in Shanghai downtown work ...

I’ll bet it was a statue-fest, a totem carnival, an icon-if-u-likem, a Mao-a-rama. These days though, no-one cares much for plaster busts of slightly dubious historical figures, ...
