The story
Shengang's old street was the commercial core of the former Shengang village along today's Zhongshan Road. It is now a busy local thoroughfare lined with modern townhouses and few recognisable old buildings; visitors interested in history are better served by the Qing-era mansions of nearby Shekou.
