Yin Shan Road has been located as a residential area since its opening. In the whole Yin Shan Road, more than 90% houses were built in the 1920s. At that time, there was Sichuan Road in the south, where you could feel the convenience of business and the prosperity of the city. In the north, you can enjoy fresh air and countryside. Yin Shan Road, which is only 10 meter wide, is flanked by buttonwood trees. In summer, it is shaded by the sun, which can be described as quiet in the noise. The alleys on both sides of Yin Shan Road are composed of residential buildings developed in pieces, which are characterized by early garden houses and new alleys with good quality, and retain various styles and styles of residential buildings. It can be said that Yin Shan Road is a natural modern residential "museum". Two rows of old houses located in Lane 44 and Lane 64 of Yin Shan Road, whose real name is Liu Qing Zhu Xiao, are new-style alleys with face-to-face and back-to-back symmetrical design, which are extremely rare and have been listed as municipal protected buildings. Many styles can be basically divided into four categories: the early Shikumen Lane represented by Hengfengli; New alleys with small green spaces and sanitary facilities, represented by mainland new villages; An independent apartment represented by Shigaota Apartment and a garden-style alley represented by Qianaili.
Today, Yin Shan Road is still very narrow, and there is no public transportation. For some years, the phoenix tree has been supporting the sky obliquely, its branches and leaves are not trimmed, intertwined and filled with thick green. There are no magnificent large commercial buildings on both sides of the road, only scattered small shops selling tobacco, alcohol and groceries. There are old people sitting around the roadside, smoking, drinking tea and chatting. Turning from the noisy and impetuous Sichuan Road into Yin Shan Road, visitors will feel that time and space are reversed, as if they have entered a lonely ancient town from a bustling city. The old buildings on both sides of the road exude a strong but not arrogant gentleman spirit.
