Getting There - best way to get there is by taxi or bicycle. Address: 华山路1038弄161号1楼(曹家堰路昭化东路口) Next to Baker and Spice. Food: In my top 5 Meat Ball Pasta. It was cooked exactly in the way I like it. And their appetizers are pretty nice. Restaurant has an open terrace where you enjoy sunshine and glass of Apperol. At lunch time there are many people going there but after 2 pm it’s kinda empty and you can get table easily. #shanghaistyle #shanghai #pastalover #pasta #italiancuisine #casualdining

Shanghai will have another great place for "checking in" - #Huashan·263 Time-honored Brand Museum will be officially open to the public free of charge. This is the first public cultural space in Shanghai with the comprehensive display of time-honored brand culture as its core. Dasheng Hutong, located at No. 229-285 Huashan Road, is a famous large-scale lilong residential complex and one of the few lilong residential areas called "hutong" that have been preserved in Shanghai to this day. Diamond House, a classical British garden house, is located at No. 263 Huashan Road in Dasheng Hutong and later became the office of Bright Food Group. With the concept of making every effort to promote Shanghai's "four major brands" and create a high-quality life, the Huashan 263 Time-honored Brand Pavilion, organized by the Municipal Commerce Commission and built and operated by Bright Food Group, is now located here. The museum brings together 222 time-honored brands in Shanghai, and selects more than 100 high-quality time-honored brands for thematic, scene-based, interactive and immersive displays, presenting the brand culture of the time-honored brands in all aspects.

The former residence of Mr. Cai Yuanpei is located at No. 16, Lane 303, Huashan Road, Jing'an District, Shanghai. It is a three-story residence. The house was listed as a Shanghai-level cultural relic protection unit in 1984. On March 11, 2021, it was selected into the first batch of revolutionary cultural relics list of Shanghai. This three-story western-style building is very consistent with the architectural style of old Shanghai at that time. I don’t know if it’s because of the built-in filter, but you can feel a hint of bookishness just from the appearance. There are also some plants planted on both sides of the house, which is friendly and elegant. The former residence has a construction area of ​​526 square meters and a garden area of ​​671 square meters. It was rented by Mr. Cai Yuanpei before. The original owner of the real estate was sold and bought by Sheng Pancheng (the third son of Sheng Xuanhuai, a great bureaucrat in the late Qing Dynasty) in the name of the American-owned Yizhong Real Estate Company for Kong Xiangxi. After liberation, it was managed by the People’s Government. It will continue to be used by Mr. Cai Yuanpei's relatives for residence. The first floor is now used as an exhibition hall for the former residence, and the second and third floors are where Mr. Cai Yuanpei's children live. The furnishings of the former residence remain basically the same as when Mr. Cai Yuanpei was alive. The exhibition hall covers an area of ​​210 square meters and the exhibition is divided into three parts: 1. "From studying hard to saving the country through education"; 2. "The founder of modern education and science in China"; 3. "Aiming at national revolution, awakening to democracy and freedom". Also on display are cultural relics such as the typewriter and suitcases he used during his lifetime.

Back for more fruit! My two favorite "fruit shops" are SUZU and Xin Rong Ji (just kidding...). There are more and more bars making seasonal fruit cocktails, but SUZU's are still the best. The main reason is that they use good fruit, and they spend money on good ingredients. The sweetness comes from the fruit juice, and the alcohol enhances the fruit flavor. The aroma is rich, and the taste is fresh and vibrant. 🍇 Queen Nina Red Grapes I love grapes! I thought this drink would be colorful, but it's actually the color of the grape flesh. The outside of the glass slowly melts, like peeled grapes in an ice bucket. The drink is dry and crisp, and the juice is sweet and mellow. It has a rich floral and fruity aroma. Even after a while, the top layer doesn't lose its flavor. The brandy adds a warm finish. 🥛 Cream Guava This might be a broad term for guava? It's not pink guava, so my dreams of colorful cocktails were dashed. But it's still good! Eat the guava first, then drink the guava cocktail. The fruit flavor is fresh and full, like an air-conditioned room on a tropical island. It's creamy, smooth, and not astringent. I want to drink it all in one go. 🍛 This time I went at 7 pm, and finally got to eat at the bar! A clean meal and a drink, happy happy! The beef curry rice was thick, mild, and delicate. But some of the beef was tender, and some was dry. 🍜 The thin ramen noodles were easy to slurp, and the chicken and fish broth was fresh. But it was a bit too salty. The service is different every time. There's a lot of staff turnover, so sometimes it's good, and sometimes it's bad. This time, the staff outside the bar were great, even a bit like five-star service. They were quick to set the chopsticks and change the napkins. The staff inside the bar were more concise. Some of the bartenders don't speak Chinese, some pretend not to speak Chinese, and some don't reply. If you're not a regular, you might not have a perfect experience. But the drinks are still the most important thing. SUZU is the only place I can't resist going back to in Shanghai. 🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆 🍸 SUZU BAR 📍 1F, MORE, Huashan Road

Shanghai is not only about skyscrapers, bright lights and hustle and bustle. The real Shanghai style is hidden in those small streets and alleys The routes we are talking about today are all located near Huashan Road and around Jing'an Temple subway station. The location is very convenient. After a tiring day of shopping, it is very pleasant to eat and drink. Let’s take a look at the specific route. 1️⃣ Cai Yuanpei’s former residence, a stand-alone three-story English-style garden villa. Although it is not large, it is the best-preserved former residence of Cai Yuanpei in China. It is decorated very exquisitely, and the suitcases and typewriter are old items used by Mr. Cai Yuanpei during his lifetime. Explore history, this place is not to be missed 2️⃣The former site of Datong Hutong. It is actually called Hutong, but its style is completely different from the Hutongs in the north. Today, when you walk into the neighborhood, what catches your eye are still the plain red brick trims, beige and dark orange color schemes, and roughened walls. You can try taking some nostalgic photos 3️⃣Shanghai Coffee: This is truly an old Shanghai coffee brand. It was from the Shanghai Coffee Factory. You can try Le Koufu Latte and White Flat White, the taste is quite unique 4️⃣ Huashan 263 Old Shanghai Brand Pavilion: British Tudor Revival style architecture, simple and quaint, unique shape, flower beds, lawns, and corridors. Whether you love taking photos📷, love retro architecture🏘️, visit old houses, or see old Shanghai brands, this place is not to be missed 5️⃣Dasheng Hutong Cafe. I came here to see the exhibition. The Shanghai "Dasheng Hutong" Exploration Exhibition on the first floor not only records the historical origin of Dasheng Hutong, but also contains many precious old objects and old photos collected from the residents. The heavy feeling of time comes to my face, and the retro style and nostalgia are full. 6️⃣Huashan Road Pedestrian Bridge. This is considered a popular sky bridge on the Internet. It faces Jing'an Temple directly. When the weather is good, you can take a photo with Jing'an Temple. Another photo of Jing'an Temple turning on the lights, the atmosphere is really good 7️⃣ Jing’an Temple, I won’t introduce this in detail, everyone knows it. If you want to experience Jing'an Temple or eat dim sum, don't miss it if you pass by. In summary, today’s route is actually not very long. There are many scenic spots and plenty of photo spots. It is a route suitable for walking on the street with friends on weekend afternoons. You can walk, take photos, eat and drink along the way. Okay, that’s all for today’s ramblings. Follow me and let’s explore new destinations together!

Every weekend, I think about where to take Pumpkin to burn off energy. I happened to see that Fujifilm instax is holding a public welfare exhibition on Asian elephant protection called 'Instant Imaging, Embrace the Elephant'. Considering the outdoor heat and Pumpkin's love for animals, I decided to check it out. First question❓ 🐘 Did you know that August 12th is actually World Elephant Day every year? 🐘 Have you seen the world-renowned 'Elephant Journey North' map? (See picture x for details) If you don't know, then this exhibition is really worth visiting! It's an aesthetic education exhibition for both adults and children. The entire exhibition spans three floors: First floor: Simulates a tropical rainforest scene, featuring the famous 'Elephant Journey North' map and related elephant knowledge. Second floor: Displays secondary creative works by students from various schools, and also provides paints, canvases, etc., for children to create on-site! Pumpkin loved it!

Ps: During the exhibition, you can participate in interactive activities and experience the instax Pal camera (super mini!! super cute). You can take scene photos and print them on the spot~ (Did you see Pumpkin's masterpiece? Yes, two fingers are very prominent - -) Although the exhibition is not large, the interactive details and hands-on activities are very well set up.
