• Xingtian Palace Underground Street (Fortune Telling Street)
  Songjiang Road Numerology Street has been established for more than 30 years. In the early years, thanks to the constant flow of pilgrims from Xingtian Temple, many people came to the temple to ask for fortune-telling, and they also stopped by the Numerology Street to find teachers to confirm their answers. Due to the accurate numerology skills of many teachers in predicting the future, their fame has spread over time. Many TV media and artists from Japan, Hong Kong, South Korea and other countries also come here to tell fortunes and film programs.
