Shanghai Tianzifang was the first old street settlement visited on this trip. At that time Wendy mentioned to us to go to an "old street". The idea of "such an old street" inevitably came to mind. Reluctant to leave, it turns out that it is not only an alley after the investment promotion, but also the actual life style of the local people.
Transportation: How to get to Shanghai Tianzifang?
Take Metro Line 9 and get off at Dapuqiao Station. Go to Exit 1 for about 850 meters and a 10-minute walk to reach. Considering that there are not all box elevators in Shanghai Metro Stations for strollers to get on and off, this journey is all about Didi Chuxing travels by taxi. The fare from the hotel to Tianzifang is about 100 Taiwan dollars, which is more convenient.

Shanghai, which has walked through the history of modern concessions, has a fascinating combination of Chinese and Western styles and characteristic buildings. Many areas have been transformed into cultural and creative parks, such as Tianzifang, Xintiandi, 1933 Laochangfang, M50 Creative Park, Jianguo Road No. 8 Bridge, etc. In the morning, we took a taxi to Tianzifang, and on the way back, we visited Xintiandi.
