Yinshan Street is a food street located in the Moganshan Scenic Area, at an altitude of about 600 meters. The total length of Yinshan Street is no more than 300 meters. Both sides of the street are lined with many shops such as stores, banks, post offices, restaurants, and vegetable markets. There are also attractions such as cultural halls and churches, giving a feeling of being small but complete.


Yinshan Street is like a hundred-year-old tree, and its branches are the mountain paths on both sides of the street. Climbing up the stone steps, one can vaguely see the Catholic church hidden in the shade. The entire church is made of stones, and colorful stained glass windows are dotted around the walls. Every weekend, mountain people will come to the church to pray. Among the more eye-catching buildings on this street is the post office.


It is reported that in 1898, the 24th year of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty, Moganshan had postal communication with Shanghai. In 1951, a post and telecommunications business office was established, and telecommunications, telephone, and newspaper distribution businesses were added. At the end of Yinshan Street, there is a coffee shop opened by a British named Mark. Tourists often stop and take a break in the coffee shop, overlook the Yinshan market street.


Opening the guestbook placed at the door, one can see the comments of tourists from various countries. In addition, here you can also taste special local delicacies, such as steamed soft-shelled turtle, orchid bamboo shoots, and braised pork with fermented bean curd. They are all very delicious and worth tasting. In the evening, there are also small pubs and bars to visit.


Open all year round and open all day.
