As a large-scale renovation project of Songjiang ancient city, Huating Old Street (formerly Zhongshan Middle Road) starts from Renmin Road in the east and Xilin Road in the west, with a total length of 606 meters and a total investment of 340 million yuan, which is the essence of Shili Long Street in the ancient city. The project was designed by Shanghai East China Design Institute. Slates are laid on the sidewalk. People's Road and Xilin Road have one east and west archway, one leisure park (Maluqiao Park) and five squares (Moon Square, Zen Square, Commercial Leisure Square, Folk Square and Historical and Cultural Square). Many municipal and district-level cultural relics protection units, such as the Mosque of the Yuan Dynasty, Sailin Temple of the Ming Dynasty, Fu, Qufu and Wangyeshan Mansion, have been repaired successively, and 53,000 square meters of buildings imitating the Ming and Qing Dynasties have been built, which embodies the beautiful gesture of "two temples facing each other, ancient houses side by side along the street, antique buildings and lush gardens".
The "Huating Old Street" on the archway was inscribed by Shen Peng, Chairman of China Calligraphers Association. The couplets on the stone tablet were inscribed by the famous poet of China Poetry Society, and by Mr. Han, the editorial board member and calligrapher of China Huaxia Poetry and Painting Research Association. The commercial houses here are distributed on the north and south sides of Zhongshan Road, with shops of different sizes. It is integrated with the previously built Qian Miao Street and Changqiao Street, and connected with the reconstructed Yuemiao Commercial Street, Fangta Tang and Song Cultural Street and Songjiang Old Street, becoming a cultural and commercial corridor integrating tourism, sightseeing, leisure, entertainment and catering.
