What travellers are saying
- Mark LimSingapore17 contributionsInteresting lightings
A of goodies and food to eat, many sightseeing spots...
Moderate and expensive stuffs within city area...
Crowded, just a little bit more smoky most of the time...Written 26 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It is very peaceful and picturesque.
When everything is operating as normal, it's okay but not super special - still worth a visit.Written 22 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

You can find good Western restaurants and bars here. There are also nice parks around.Written 18 July 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Zfy EdSingapore, Singapore10,512 contributionsTianzifang is one of the popular tourist destinations in Shanghai for shopping and experiencing local culture and lifestyle. It is located in the old French concession area. The area has mainly retained the "authentic and original" feeling because it has not been reconstructed or rebuilt. Instead visitors will get to see buildings, shophouses, alleys and streets of the old French concession area with Chinese "culture".
It has now become famous as a "rabbit warren" of arts and crafts shops, with restaurants, bars, cafes, souvenir and boutique shops etc. It has become touristy but still a good place to have a feel of the local touch.
I enjoy walking around in the small lanes around the old ancient buildings with beautiful decorations as it is quite difficult to find them these days due to the city redevelopment!Written 25 June 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Was just outside the tea house admiring its menu and was really walking through while enjoying the lanterns. Not really interested in expensive tea at that time!!! However, this tea house looks really charming and its entrance is quite welcoming with an array of tea cups and tea sets to be admired and purchased.Written 9 February 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- John and Deb KKarratha, Australia822 contributionsThis road runs alongside the bund, it featurse many of the old historic buildings. To get a good view of these you need to walk along this road. Off this road up the side streets are many shopping areas and restaurantsWritten 21 October 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Filled with new building on both sides, it would be a very enjoyable ride in the car on this road.Written 27 September 2015This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jo-AnnKuala Lumpur, Malaysia17,192 contributionsThis street began in the Ming Dynasty era. Today it is located next to Yuyuan (Yu Garden) and the City God Temple. Perfect place to visit to get a feel of original old Shanghai. There are antique shops, jewelry shops, Chinese attire shops, boutiques, souvenirs and cafes. Great street to slowly enjoy and if you find something you like, don’t forget to bargain!Written 11 February 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- denisgieShanghai, China283 contributionsAfter few years of living in China, my tolerance to some things has already adjusted. However, I have to admit it wow one of the better new built “ancient” town I have visited. The roofs rising out of the water looks super impressive, all of the buildings around, gardeners etc give a very good vibe too. Actually this is a good destination to have few hours rest from the splendor of a big city life in Shanghai.Written 8 May 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Stephen CSingapore, Singapore1,141 contributionsThis building is located in downtown Puxi. Many like to come here just to take photos with the old building as the backdrop.Written 5 February 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Gaby C77 contributionsAlthough it was a 39 degree day, the rabbit warren of small market shops was a great way to explore shopping in Shanghai. The old style and the shopfronts were really interesting.
Most places were conditioned and the prices cheap.
Accessible by MetroWritten 7 July 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - Jo-AnnKuala Lumpur, Malaysia17,192 contributionsAlmost the whole town was under construction when we were there. There were bamboo scaffoldings everywhere. We were still able to walk the town as all shops were open. It is quite a mixture of clothings, watches and optical shops together with restaurants. There’s an old mutton restaurant here too, near the Zhenru temple. Line 11 straight to Zhenru metro station. There’s construction everywhere near the metro. Take exit 2 and just follow the signs to Lanxi Road. That’s where the ancient town and temple is. It is not a long walk!Written 24 March 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
