One of my favorite places to visit when in Shanghai is Xintiandi. A former residential area, which has since been redeveloped – Xintiandi has not only allowed for the preservation of beautiful orignal “Shikumen” buildings (a type of residential architecture unique to Shanghai), it has also created a hub of dining, retail and entertainment for locals, expats and tourists alike.
Xintiandi is not far from the Times Square shopping centre – so if you are visiting Shanghai soon, this is one part of city you should add to your itinerary!
this looks sooooo cozy and quaint! If ever i’m in China, this is the place to go.
Wow! The development looks fabulous! Especially the street with all of the shops!
