Tianzifang – A Living Shikumen Block in Shanghai Located on Taikang Road, Tianzifang is one of Shanghai’s most distinctive cultural districts. It preserves 154 century-old Shikumen houses as a “living community,” where residents still dry quilts upstairs while cafés, galleries, and shops operate below. With over 300 boutiques hidden in narrow lanes, visitors can discover heritage craft studios like Shoubai Art, trendy tea brands such as Plant Manor, and niche spots like Golden Age of Cheongsam. This mix makes shopping here very different from modern malls. Its prime location fits perfectly into City Walk routes, often combined with Xintiandi or the Former Korean Provisional Government site. Start at No.210 Taikang Road to explore graffiti, handicraft shops, and try both common and rare crafts—from tie-dye and mask painting to cloisonné enamel or lacquered fans. Touring Tianzifang offers a lively blend of art, history, and everyday Shanghai life.

Taste Crab Roe Noodles or Enjoy a Huangpu River Cruise Buffet Li Bai Crab’s Crab Roe Noodles stand out for their quality and unique appeal. The restaurant maintains strict standards for its ingredients, selecting only the finest crabs. Priority is given to lake and pond crabs, while lower-quality field crabs are avoided. Some premium lake crabs are carefully raised in regions near Yangcheng Lake, with cultivation costs four to five times higher than standard practices to ensure top-notch flavor and texture. The dining experience is equally special: guests can savor the rich crab roe noodles while enjoying stunning views of the Bund and watching passing cruise boats. This perfect combination of gourmet cuisine and scenic vistas makes every meal feel like a special occasion.
