Shikumen Review

Shanghai style alley - Tianzifang, which is both a precipitation of history and culture, and a gathering place of fashion trends. Visitors can taste the style of old Shanghai and feel the atmosphere of modern cities here.

Shanghai Tianzifang is actually evolved from Shanghai's most distinctive Shikumenli, his name is the elegant name of the painter Huang Yongyuqi. Tianzifang's commercial atmosphere is not strong, giving people more a cultural atmosphere, creative cultural atmosphere. In Tianzifang, you can always see some interesting, ancient practical ideas, memorized words and cards, the most avant-garde trend.

Shikumen is a residential residential with Shanghai characteristics. The old alleys in Shanghai are generally Shikumen buildings. This building absorbs a large number of Jiangnan houses, with stone door frames, and black paint solid wood as doors. This building is therefore named "Shikumen". Shikumen, Lane 96, Shaoxing Road, is one of the more complete Shikumen in Shanghai, and many films and TV dramas that show old Shanghai themes like to come here to take the outside scenes.

Old Shanghai petty bourgeois life, a cup of coffee for an afternoon

It perfectly presents the old lifestyle and city face of Shanghai and now it has been changed to a creative street. As a Shanghainese, I sometimes go after it.
