Shanghai's Faded Internet Celebrity CityWalk Spots

Come, come, come, today follow Uncle Ning to explore those faded internet celebrity CityWalk routes in Shanghai! Today, we will stroll from the literary and retro Tianzifang to the trendy and fashionable Hengji Xuhui Tiandi, and experience a transformation of the times! ✨ 📍First Stop: Tianzifang 🎨 Wandering through the maze-like alleys, Tianzifang is like an old photo of Shanghai, with every brick and tile telling a story. The small shops here hide the craftsmanship of countless artisans, from vintage accessories to creative coffee, and snacks from all over the country, ensuring that your taste buds and eyes will never be satisfied! Seeing Tianzifang now is quite heartbreaking. The place I once loved has really become so uninteresting. Because Tianzifang is a free attraction, it has become a must-visit place for low-cost tour groups, turning the entire Tianzifang into a Yiwu small commodity market. 📍Second Stop: Hengji Xuhui Tiandi 🏙️ With a turn, it feels like traveling to the future. Hengji Xuhui Tiandi, with its unique red and green architectural appearance, has become a popular check-in spot in Shanghai. Walking on the skywalk, every step is a scenery. Whether taking photos or strolling, you can feel the full sense of sophistication and design. But now the vacancy rate in Xuhui Tiandi is very high, with the first and second basement floors almost entirely vacant, which is quite regrettable. Even the remaining shops have increased their group purchase packages, and the overall property management of the mall feels poor, quite dirty and messy. Half a day's time, from the gentleness of the old times to the flamboyance of the new era, the collision of Tianzifang and Hengji Xuhui Tiandi, can it revive the once-popular internet celebrities? Don't forget to follow me to unlock more unique travel guides for Shanghai and its surroundings!👇

Alleyway Wonderland in Shanghai’s Tianzifang 🏙️🛍️🌸 Tianzifang is a vibrant maze of quaint alleys packed with artsy boutiques, adorable stores, and local eats—a haven for the curious traveler looking for that “Shanghai secret spot” feel! 🗺️ Recommended Route: Start at the entrance on Taikang Road and zigzag through the cozy lanes, discovering unique shops at every turn. Take your time—stop wherever something catches your eye. The alleys are easy to wander and tucked away from the big roads, so soak up the relaxed vibe. 🍜 Must-Do Experiences: Explore the handmade craft stalls and pick up quirky souvenirs. Don’t miss the tiny galleries and studios. For a meal, duck into a restaurant just outside the main lanes for mouthwatering local and international dishes (personal tip: those spots usually have better prices and less bustle!). Stop for a coffee or dessert—many cafés here are Instagrammable and chill spots for a break. 📷 Top Photo Spots: Snap a shot under the fairy lights or beside vintage brick walls covered in murals. The colorful shopfronts and alley corners make for classic “Shanghai alleyway” shots—perfect for that farewell post before heading to the airport! 🧳 Practical Visiting Tips: Ideal for your last day—luggage storage is available in some shops, and you’re just a short ride to the airport. Tianzifang is open year-round, all day. Go earlier for cooler temps and quieter lanes. ⚠️ Key Precautions: Keep an eye out for higher prices right in the tourist lanes; explore side alleys for better deals. Watch your step—some alleys are narrow! #Shanghai #Tianzifang #UrbanExploration #LocalEats #DepartureDay
