Thames Town

This beautiful town is located in Songjiang district in Shanghai and it is named after the river Thames. it is an imitation of English market town style - red telephone boxes, Victorian terraces, cobbled streets, corner shops and a church all can be found here. I must admit that it is a very beautiful place to go but don’t be surprised by the sheer number of photographers all over the town. 👰🏻‍♀️🤵🏻‍♂️📸 unfortunately due to low number of residents most of the shops and restaurants are not working, but on the other hand it is good if you want to walk in quiet environment enjoying coffee and the beauty of the town. #china #chinalife #chinatravel #thames #town #thamestown #shanghai #shanghailife #songjiang

SH has a wide range of places worth seeing, but for me Thames Town has been one of interest for quite some time. The replica British city style is a stark reminder of home and how streets appear. Granted, there’s many more people stood photographing and more wedding shoots than you’d ever expect to see in London. Take Subway line 9 to Songjiang University Town, then Tram 2 or DiDi. #tripblazers #shanghai #urbanexplorer #shinsider

| Weekend Thames Town Street Photography Record. A 10-year veteran photographer's first time on the scene - team street photography. I've always been the photographer shooting alone, today I took advantage of the Volvo Car Friends Club's opportunity to go to Thames Town... It's so much fun! - I joined a group of photography friends for an offline photography exchange event. A group of more than 20 people listened to a lecture share by Mr. Ye, a famous photography critic in Shanghai, on 'Contemporary Landscape Cases', and gained a lot. Afterwards, we teamed up for practical training in Thames Town. The same scene, seen through different people's eyes, presents different landscapes. It's really like 'a thousand Hamlets in a thousand people's eyes', which is beneficial for opening up the photographic eye. - Address: Thames Town, Songjiang, Shanghai Attractions: Zhongshuge, European-style town, young Art Museum...
