Divided by the north gate of Fuxing Park, the northern section of Yan’dang Road is paved with colored pavement bricks, lined with palm trees on both sides; the southern section lies within Fuxing Park and features plane trees on one side. Yan’dang Road was built in 1902 and was initially called Junying Road before being renamed Hualong Road.
The commercial offerings along Yan’dang Road mainly consist of cafés, bars, dining, entertainment, and beauty services. The shops along the street include various tea houses, open-air bars, Chinese and Western restaurants, and almost all globally renowned international cuisines can be found here, making it a leisure street rich in a global village atmosphere. The ancient French-style classic garden villas, apartments, and buildings on either side of the street complement the Jin Yan Fang complex, which combines faux-European Byzantine and arcade architectural styles. There are also small boutiques selling custom-made traditional Chinese attire, Brazilian crystal specialties, and cosmetic and daily necessities. Transportation options include Metro Line 1 and Buses 96 and Tourist Line 10.
