On December 18, as one of the practical projects of the district government in 2020, Hongwan Road Food Market officially opened, successfully making up for the shortage of farm product market in the largest affordable housing base in the central urban area. The 15-minute community life circle of Rainbow Bay and its surrounding residents is perfecting.

According to an official of Shanghai Sanjiaodi Food Market Operation Management Co., Ltd., there are 46 stalls in Hongwan Road Food Market. They sell not only fresh vegetables and seafood, but also north-south dry goods and special snacks, which enables the residents in Rainbow Bay to enjoy more convenient and comfortable life services near home. The intelligent traceability system is also introduced in the market. After purchasing goods, residents can easily check the goods traceability and detection information by scanning the two-dimension codes on the sales check list, so that they can purchase and eat without any worry. In addition, the market is equipped with advanced on-site disposal equipment for wet garbage. 10 barrels of wet garbage can be compressed into 2 barrels, and the compressed sewage will be discharged into the sewer after being filtered, so as to further optimize the environment of the market.

Located at the junction of Hongkou, Baoshan and Jing'an Districts, Rainbow Bay is constructed in four phases with a total construction area of 1.05 million square meters. At present, all of them have been completed and nearly 10,000 people live here. With the introduction of a large number of people, the relevant supporting facilities of Rainbow Bay Community have been keeping pace. At the early stage of the construction of the Rainbow Bay Community, the surrounding Anfen Road and Sanmen Road were included in the construction plan of the district-docking road, and now they are all open to traffic. Bus lines No. 160, No. 887 and No. 108 have successively run in the Rainbow Bay, effectively alleviating the travel difficulty problem of the residents. The No. 1 public service station of Jiangwan Town Sub-district, located at No. 79, Hongwan Road, integrates the community canteen and day care for the elderly, which is welcomed by the residents. The Rainbow Bay Welfare Home for the Elderly, Shanghai No. 5 Middle School and Shanghai No. 4 People's Hospital have successively settled down in the Rainbow Bay for the convenience of caring for the aged, getting education and medical service of the residents of the Rainbow Bay nearby.
