[bivouacrecording] Tongchuan Lu

[Sounds of Shanghai] Recorded June 1, 2009. The Tongchuan Lu fish market is a truly amazing place both for a local and a visitor. Within this one block are large covered markets, one right after another, selling any kind of seafood you can imagine. Geoducks, lobsters, crabs, salmon, giant shrimp, and other unknown but sure-to-be-tasty species can be found there. As the Unlike description says, you can buy your seafood fresh then take it to any number of restaurants in the area to be cooked for a delicious meal- you can't get more fresh than this.

This recording is a walk through one of the many markets. This particular one was getting its daily hose-down. As you pass the spray of water, listen for the hum of the freezers and water pumps for the hundreds of fish tanks.

After your meal you can walk down Lan Xi Lu to the beautiful Zhen Ru Temple to relax in its quiet courtyards.
