Editor's note: The Chenghuang Temple is a 600-year-old Taoist temple located in the heart of Shanghai's Huangpu District. The temple area is also well known for its local specialty snacks, from stinky tofu to spiced beans.

The best time to visit Shanghai is around the Duanwu Festival, also called the Dragon Boat Festival, in late May when the weather is pleasant and various vegetables and fruits are in season.

The following photos are taken in the Old Chenghuang Temple Cuisine Market, where food stalls stretch as far as the eye can see. Peddlers' cries come time and again from everywhere, chefs work busily in open kitchens to prepare all dishes, and customers, who are dazed and drooling at the sight of so much nice food, pace up and down the market and cannot decide which to accept and which not.
