田子坊

Tianzifang is renovated from Shanghai's only remaining Shikumen architectural complex, serving as the creative work base for many literati and artists. Here you can find small shops selling retro glasses and vintage music boxes, as well as trendy brand clothing stores from Hong Kong. If you are a foodie, multiple interesting and creative cuisine restaurants here will fully satisfy your taste buds. Wander casually in the old alleyways, you can see the tiger skylights on the roofs, neatly arranged red tiles on the rooftops, cracks and moss on the gable walls, all brimming with the authentic vibe of old Shanghai. Listen to foreigners sitting outside the open-air bars speaking different languages, mixed with the crisp Shanghainese dialect of local residents, and you can also stop by a street artist to get a portrait painted for yourself. Of course, if you are a literary youth, you can also spend a whole day visiting several art studios of cultural celebrities. For example, the former site of the well-known Chen Yifei Studio still stores the items he used back then, which is a must-see for art students. In addition, there are several well-known cultural and art attractions such as Ren Weiyin Art Museum, Scent Library, Base6 Art Center and Tianzifang Painters' Building, which you can visit one by one, and take a camera to record all the beautiful memories here. If you get tired from walking, you can sit down in a café, savor a delicious afternoon tea with the gentle breeze blowing through the alley. There are also some fashionable new creative restaurants here, such as the Modern Toilet Restaurant, where the toilet-shaped seats, washbasin-shaped tables, and food that looks exactly like "poop" will excite customers who love novelty hunting. At night, this place becomes a fashionable gathering spot for many night owls. The open-air bars are full of faces of different skin colors. Although it is not as crowded as Xintiandi, it has more freshness and elegance, allowing you to slowly enjoy the night Shanghai accompanied by blues music.
